This may seem a reasonably large fine (compared to the usual) but if we had done this I think the Board would have tried to have us imprisoned for life

hi guys, further to my post about an inspection recently. This from the Boards web site. (If a homeowner or council inspector believes that work has been done by someone who is not authorised, or has concerns about the competency of tradespeople, they can make a complaint to the Board. You can check to see if a person is authorised by searching our online public register) unless as i said the inspector knows of someone who will sign it off for a bottle of whiskey which did happen i have the info, I mean this inspector needs the board to have words with him. If anyone in authority wants to follow up on this, i have the information, cheers
