Electricians are great, but just some,…


During a week or so, the fusses at home have been running dodgy, nothing we could do. The alarm went off, the washing machine as well, then it was the turn of the boiler and therefore the heat. As is common practice we called the electricians. Two electricians came, one was no more than 20 and used some crap arguments about moisture,..... too bad! The other one was a Greek immigrant that literally bullsheeted for ten minutes, said the whole system wasn’t save and ended up managing to leave the hoouse without doing any work and asking an awful lot of money,..was sent to hell!. Joan could have stayed for a while just like that (at the end of the day we are moving in two weeks time -he said), but Marta could not ressist and after complaining to the landlord ( who still is in south Africa) we decided to call urgent electricians for next day at 10 am to come over and not to leave until the problem would be sorted. On Tuesday morning, a guy form South Africa that works in a company we found after a random search in the google came over. He definitely did his best in sorting out the problem, was nice guy and realised how bad teh situation was. He managed, thanks to God we are not going to get up freezing every morning, Marta will not complain for not sleeping next to each other and we ended up with two main thoughts. One is that life before electricity was really hard, especially in winter. Second, electricians are great, but just some, those that came on the first place did not felt like doing proper work.
