Dodgy Electrics
The "building works" team came to rip out the old wall units, remove tiles and make good. This was their idea of making good a socket.
When I asked the fitters if they could straighten up the socket they just laughed.... not their job. (though the fitter was supposed to be a qualified electrician).
After the socket had been left in this state for 3 weeks, I finally exploded at the project manager. He wasn't too bothered until I pointed out that it was the Kitchen Kraft building team who had left it in this state!
Also, the fitter's idea of sensible wiring was to leave the old socket in the middle of a cable behind the cupboard units...
And it wasn't until I complained that they decided that they should really fix the socket for the cooker hood to the wall rather than leave it siting on top of a cupboard....!
