To a new location though, but it would have reached if they had left us enough slack at the floor level.<br />Nevermind, I think we flood-wired the place better than the previous tenants.Alexis Threlfallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11792447399167532389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-55245103015836344062010-09-06T08:34:37.707+01:002010-09-06T08:34:37.707+01:00Well, we have a compromise that is not quite so dr...Well, we have a compromise that is not quite so drastic.RevKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369263214193333422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-29956247269204241682010-09-06T08:25:10.964+01:002010-09-06T08:25:10.964+01:00Probably just easier & quicker to pull it out ...Probably just easier & quicker to pull it out and put new stuff in.MarkPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10376001745281204511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3993498847203183398.post-69978746802637340582010-09-05T13:54:16.430+01:002010-09-05T13:54:16.430+01:00Something like this should help you:

So they had 80 cubic metres of freshly-cast slab to remove before they even started erecting the building.<br /><br />Then the ductwork to "outside" - I asked for 150mm ducts (8 of them to 2 locations, in pairs, diversely routed), either they didn't (or couldn't) read and installed 100mm...<br /><br />Then they realised they hadn't put any ductwork in for the incoming utilities - so rather than install their own, they stole 25% of mine for the incoming mains supply thus comprehensively bollocksing up my redundant WAN plans - this of course was supported and signed off by the idiot project manager on our side (a builder by trade and in the "computer shit" camp). Cost him a lot of extra on his budget when "somehow" the planners at the local authority heard about this unauthorised change in the utility supply plan... and insisted on it being done "to plan".<br /><br />Our cabling contractor went around the twist with them because part way through construction "all of this computer shit" was deemed to be "getting in the way" so they trimmed off 520 cables in a similar fashion to yours, before they'd even been terminated.<br /><br />This wasn't a dodgy backstreet builder either - this is a construction business of some international renown (or as we preferred to refer to them "International Intentional Arseholes plc")The Driverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04561063207545406257noreply@blogger.com
