I tend to be the go to for the elderly in the street and people they know.

Sometimes the job is too big for me to fix, so I get someone in, like a blocked sewer pipe (not for me)

But reasonably simple stuff or even just replacing bulbs I consider my civic duty.

And its good for the Karma.

If Valkie had any morals he would have hired a competent licensed electrician to perform the work. Now when the granny dies in a house fire from defective wiring her heirs can sue Valkie.

Back again today, this time her tap washer was destroyed.

Why do old people turn off taps soo hard.

I replaced both sink tap washers and the shower washers.

Lucky I have plenty of them, I was given about 100 buy an old guys wife when he passed away.
He knew I helped people and thought I could use them.

At least I didn't have to re-seat the washers, it was simply over tightening of them.

calm you tits cods. Whats wrong with you? I'm just pointing out the legal ramifications of what he's doing. Personally I think he's done a good thing, I've done similar many times ...but when I did it I did so knowing my legal position. I certainly wouldn't be providing photographic evidence online if I were in his shoes
