| Time = money
I have just moved next door (from my previous bungalow) into a new bigger one, which is twice the size. 2 x bedrooms, 2 x bathrooms. Very happy the first two days but then.......
Water pressure was very low in the second bathroom so I got the landlord round to have a look. He sends a guy around (not the original plumber) this guy was the original Electrician. He carves out some of the wall and discovers that the P.V.C elbow joints are leaking. "No problem" he says, replaces a couple of elbow joints, and as at the time we had a power outage (no power to water pump) does not test, but goes on to re-render the wall.
I get back home from a week away and find water trickling down the wall in another room. "Fek" says me, even I know that you have to prepare the pipe and make clean before applying a generous amount of that blue glue. Seems like its just moving the problem to the next weakest link in the chain, so to speak.
I'm thinking who knows how mony of these shoddy joints the first guy who put his hand up to be the plumber arsed up, and how many walls they will have to tear apart. My question is, do Thais understand the importance of 'doing it right the first time' and do they supply a fair-dinkum P.V.C glue in Thailand? |
