[QUOTE="phil d, post: 523715, member: 27126"] Seeing that gas pipe reminded me of a job many years ago, I'd installed a central heating for an old couple and along the middle of the landing was a pipe just like that, anyway I did all the tests and everything was sound, both with the electrics and the gas. A few weeks later the old blokes son in law rings up theres a strong smell of gas, I arrive to find the son in law has turned it off at the main, but you can still smell it outside the house! I ask the old guy if he's done anything, he denies touching a thing, I then ask the old lady who informs me that the previous evening he'd taken the landing carpet up and been hammering. Apparently he wasnt happy with how I'd nailed down a board. I lifted the carpet and the board which had the gas pipe beneath it (on which i'd wrote 'gas pipe below') had a neat line of holes in the centre! In his infinite wisdom he'd decided that boards should be nailed in the centre, not on the edges, the result was a gas pipe that resembled a lawn sprinkler, a dozen nail holes right through it!
