    Nick, please continue to call other trades out for their bad work 👍. Its infuriating that they do work they shouldn't be and then denie it. As for the pendant you had to correct, I would have 100% charged the customer and explained they would need to claim their money back from the plasterer. If the plasterer gets away with it, then he/she wil just continue to do it. We are living in a society where there is no accountability and that has to stop!

    It's not 'slagging off', it's content. If you have a job that is mundane, without faults, that's not going to make watchable content. Jobs like this are more complicated, more intriguing and actually showcases your skills better than a simple install.
    If there is obviously bad work, simply pointing a camera at it would be viewed as 'slagging off' by those commenters.

    The builders work as mentioned here is probably the same as his electrical! I'm always amazed when we come to employ someone and there lack of knowledge and ability to complete work and even with people with the qualifications. Word of mouth and actually seeing them doing the work is what's needed or like Nick and Adam putting themselves on camera, well done boys.

    "Solar" could be used as a grouping term for "PV" (Photovoltaic) or "STE" (Solar Thermal Energy)
