Making good

Chris Pearson
After a rather hard day on site today (daughter's rewire) Mrs P said that if she was paying an electrician, she wouldn't necessarily get the chases filled. I said that an electrician would if she paid him (or her). Then Mrs P said that an electrician would never repaint the wall. I said that an electrician would if she paid him (or her).


Who is correct?

     including making good  the gold leaf on the church ceiling, 




    I was working for a builder and a guy hit a lead light window with the end of a scaffolding tube, everyone including the customer was stood looking at it coming up with ideas and I said I will fix it tomorrow.


    So the following day I repaired lead and glass window light, they all stood looking at it and enquired how I had learnt how to do that.


    Back in the 1970’s I was given a couple of hours tuition by a glazier  who was still working well into his seventies but said he was to old to go up a ladder to repair the windows at two local churches after the gails.


    These days it would be considered specialist work and those in charge would not want to let a general builder anywhere near work like that.
