____________________________________________________________________________________
The Job was booked for 1pm to 6pm.
Guy came very early 10am and he finished by 12.30pm (Noon) . (With My help)
It was contractors M J Quinn.
(they a well known for giving up on a job and leaving to someone else.)
I did swear to my self when I his van came into view.
I looked down the long drive and he was reversing up it, no contact at all, no text, or phone call to say he was about to arrive
, he asked if I was expecting him, and then he said
I can not do the job because your trees are in the way !, I asked him what he was talking about, I said it's a UG feed not OH !, have you not read the attached notes. He did not believe me until he looked at the end of the duct in the Enclosed porch.
So he started reluctantly.
He was trying to get his flexible draw rods through the duct, In which I knew was Not blocked, he could get it about 40M but his draw rods were to flexible, he then had a halfheartedly attempted to push it the other way but soon gave up,
.
He was about to give up and leave, >>>>>>
He was not going to leave until I had the FTTP installed So I told him to use our BT land line to pull a raw rope in to the duct and pull it back with the BT cable & fibre attached.
Good Idea he said, I ask how long he had been doing this job, 8years he said when he came from Kenya and he went to collage and then this job .
With my unofficial help pulling the fibre through our long duct we got the BT land line and Fibre into the house end with me feeding it into the UG chamber in the Lane, In which
he could Not be bothered to put the safety fence around , It was just left open .I think we pulled in about 80M of Fibre.
It's a good job I know what needs to be done and help him because he was ready to go, that's why he was early as he refused a job around the corner because of trees in the way, I had only just taken the porch floor up to get to the end of the BT duct I installed 30 years ago when I built this house when he came.
The Quinn guy had to talk to BT OpenReach because he had a flashing PON light, he had only fitted a Nokia ONT instead of a Hauawei ONT, but BT OR chap had to re-configure things, then we got the Solid PON light.When he plugged the Fibre into the CBT and once he made off the ONT end and plugged it in,
I said I thought you were supposed to clean them first before assembly. he just made some excuse.
To be continued .
