“the ex husband has wired it all, he’s an electrician and it’s just a second fix to complete and test”
At this point, most experienced electricians would of had the hairs on the back of their neck stand up and they make their excuses and walk away at the first polite opportunity!
The previous electrician who was ‘too busy’ to do the job obviously felt the same
The main thing to take away from this is to learn by it for the future, try to get paid for your work, you may or may not get the money owed to you, but definitely learn from it!
There is so much work out there, let stuff like this be someone else‘s problem, be the electrician who is ‘too busy’ in the future
(been qualified a few years but I’m trying to pick up the courage to go it alone, this saga as a whole hasn’t helped that one bit ).
Dont let it discourage you, it’s a lesson every single one of us has to learn sooner or later, being naturally friendly and trying to help people and expect that others intentions are the same as yours is just human, but realise unfortunately not everyone is the same as you, again learn from it, and you’ll be better prepared next time around and hopefully won’t make the same mistake again
All part of the bumpy road to success
