Some of you will know that I was having an electrician in to provide sensors so that the lights automatically come on and go off upstairs at night. I have had nothing but trouble with this electrician. I had him in originally to problem solve and he came up with the solutions and assured me they would work. I told him I had to work to specific days and needed him to keep to schedule because of the need to cut down disruption to Alan.
First: He cancelled the day and changed it to another. Then because the stairs are completely dark until Alan arrives at the top because of the electricians problem solving - the electrician then tells me I need another kind of light on the stairs which is more work and more cost. I said this was not acceptable because he'd been to assess the situation and had assured me that his original solution would work.
He came yesterday and to cut a long story short the upstairs sensor is not at all adequate. In fact it is now dangerous because Alan is too near the stairs before the light comes on
I mentioned this to the electrician yesterday and he said it would be ok and to see how we went on last night. I am not happy. He came back today and I told him that there were some teething problems. He told me that I had to be satisfied with it as it is. I told him that he'd agreed to solve the original problem and his solution is not working.
In the end he accused me of taking the p-ss and he walked out saying that the whole job was on him. He did a couple of other jobs yesterday but I did tell him that they were not the priority and the upstairs lighting was to take precedence.
Fortunately, the sitter was here and he heard the electrician talking to me and he intervened because he could hear that I was being clear and reasonable and the electrician was very wrong in his whole approach.
I now have someone who has been recommended and am waiting for them to come and sort this mess out.
Love
