They come to your house at the dawn and leave after midnight. They desmantle the door, break the window, destroy the wall and throw away granny’s bath and toilet. They are hammering all the time, drilling and sawing. When they leave, nothing will be the same .... And you have to live in a "regenerated" apartment. Relax, this is not the apocalypse – just repairs. But sometimes except all spectre of emotions, empty wallet and new interior the workers leave you unpleasant surprises.
If you notice workers’ overalls hanging out of your window and waving in the wind, do not be in a hurry to accuse your wife of infidelity, and builders in the slovenliness. Relax - in the next few years you won’t need to change your apartment’s interior. Noone will work for you. In the language of the builders you’ve been rewarded with a sharp «boo boo». And there is a chance that your vindictive builders have included you in a special black list. They have decided that you are not a good client and played a dirty trick on you.
Trick one. The most malicious as well. Raw eggs, punctured by a needle and buried within a wall or ceiling can provide your apartment with a fetid odor for years. The result is amazing. It’s impossible to live with it and to find a "treasure" yourself as well. You’ll have to break down a structure to extract the eggs, or call these newly discovered Faberge descendants. The authors of a fragrant greeting will find a “laying” instantly and for extra money and give your home a second wind.
Trick two. Music. If you don’t like listening to fussy strumming of a plastic ball from a bearing in the battery, you will quickly decide to dismount your new plumbing. Or hold out for two days.
Trick three. In our opinion, too primitive. Ventilation blocked with a log or mineral wool. Although the problems will be guaranteed not only to the owners of the apartment, but all the neighbors as well. Similar trick – piece of iron installed in the sewage pipes. A few days of using the new closet and impenetrable traffic jam is guaranteed. "Experts" will tell you that it’s cheaper to do everything anew.
Trick four. Mystical. An empty bottle without a lid blocked perpendicular to the wall of the apartment will be singing unbearable serenades similar to crying from the other world. You'll have to call the "experts" to pull it out of the wall.
Trick five. A piece of glass laid in a chimney - the owners get all the smoke inside. It will seem quite clear to the chimney flue.
In fact, there are many ways to take revenge on bad customers in the arsenal of a «professional» builder. They have one thing in common – the owner can’t cope with these tricks without additional harm to a new interior.
