New Cowboy Builders Series

[cr0ft]

Did anyone else watch this tonight? The 'builder' being featured had come up with an innovative new way of plumbing in a WC. Just connect up the supply pipework and don't worry about the waste connection, just run a bit of soil pipe into the cavity wall. Who needs drains after all?

Surprisingly, it ended up with him doing prison time for fraud and being a director of a limited company whilst bankrupt. Nice guy.

Here's the link to the episode on BBC website. Just a photograph of the install really, around 17:15. I actually think it was a macerator but apparently the toilet literally 'exploded' all over their bathroom...

I would have liked to see the after photo though, just for amusement value more than anything else!

The trouble with these type of program's is you only ever get one side of the story. And is it just me or does anyone else get the urge to smash the tv whenever that little prat little wood is on it? Can you imagine him collaring you in the street and getting in ya face!? He spouts off at them and yet knows nothing himself!

 

[Guest123]

Think the programme sensationalises much of it to make it good viewing. The downside is that there is now a lack of trust between customers and tradesmen caused by programmes like Cowboy Builders and this has also resulted in many websites advertising "Rated Tradesmen" and the like.

i agree, at the moment most of my work seems to be from word of mouth rather from leaflets and advertising. which is good of course. i'm on a couple of websites but don't really get any work from them tbh.
