It's a question about working conditions. Not that I'm bothered by them but Sian reckons I should be refusing to work where I am and she's worried I will be bringing nasty stuff back home.
It's one of those houses on those hoarder programs with stuff /everywhere/ and rooms that are blocked off with walls of junk and a floor littered with god knows what. I don't think they ever clean or vacuum as the cobwebs look like simmering out of a horror film but it doesn't seem particularly dirty or smelly, assist from a mummified rat in the kitchen under some stuff.
Both you and your employer have a legal duty to ensure your health, safety and wellbeing at work. That could mean refusing to work there, or being kitted out with appropriate protective gear (and training if to use it if required) and perhaps getting an extra payment to cover sterilising your clothes etc. if it's really that bad.
What are you actually doing there?
I think she'd seen those programs where people go in to shit holes (NJ) wearing full hazmat suits and expecting it to be like that. It's not that bad. She's just being a melodramatic pain in the bum today :@
I will be fitting a kitchen. Went today to pull down the ceiling and work out where some electrics are going.
Don't you fit bedrooms/kitchens? Is that even possible in a horders house?
They're having a bathroom and a kitchen done. There is literally nowhere in the house to store the stuff so it is going to be a nightmare. I think the bathroom is being done first and the new bits will have to go in the kitchen for now. Going to be so much fun with the boxes for the kitchen in there while we try to fit it
I have never seen a place like it. They obviously don't pick anything up off the floor and it all gets trampled on and shredded to pieces. There are boxes and things stacked floor to ceiling everywhere. One bedroom upstairs is impossible to get into, the doorway is completely blocked with stuff chucked in the room and the other is half full with a little room for a bed.
Take some photos tomorrow (giggle)
:D Let's hope they don't visit Teh. I won't be back til Monday.
Are they going to let you take away the old bathroom/kitchen? :|
