Dot wrote:We got stung a beauty with the first "gas fitter" seeing we were virgins to this conversion thing we contacted the "grey army" for the appropriate tradesman.. He installed the gas lines, connected to the gas bottles and connected the hot water service. Yeah right after $900 + later we were provided with a certificate off he went. How dumb were we? So after a ph call to check with the gas reg people we were told um no he should NOT have given the cert because he did not do the job correctly..LIKE.. The gas regulator was too low, solid gas line leading to the regulator, had big vents in the gas compartment (not required), not enough gas line supports, no gas stop cocks before each appliance, had not connected up stove or fridge, no test on the operation of the appliances, no appropriate air vents in the bus, no issue of warning stickers above the stove and on the gas comp door. That was the things we can remember.. Anyway we had to get another gas fitter and another huge bill added to the amount . BUT oh how we learnt.

Mind you I remember a student nurse was told to give Mrs xxx a saline bath,, simple enough, yet about 2 hrs later she came and asked, "how do I heat the water??" Instead of putting a cup full of salt in a bath of warm water she had emptied heaps of 1 lt bottles of saline into the bath tub..
