It is unknown at this stage why a plumber was working in the roof of the unit block.

Why is this here? Is someone out there wondering "OMG there aren't any pipes in any attics anywhere ever! Sounds suspicious! Just what was that plumber up to anyway, hmmm?"

I HATE it when squirrels die in my plumber.

Something mammalian managed to crawl into a space between the outside bricks and the inside wall in my bedroom one winter. It died. The aroma at first was fleeting, then it was constant. I had to close off the room pretty much all summer and fall waiting for the smell to dissipate. Left the two windows open and a fan on, too.
That was like five years ago, I guess; every once in a while I can still catch a whiff.

It's gonna be interesting when / if I ever sell this house.

"It is unclear why the plumber was working in the roof cavity"

Apparently the article's author does not know about sewer vent pipes.

There's a very important pipe that runs up and out through the roof, called a sewer vent pipe. It's what ensures you aren't strangled in your sleep by shiatgas from the sewers.

They gotta stop hiding nuts in the crack

Smells like a lawsuit.

I've never had a raccoon or squirrel die in the crawlspace of my plumber.

I clicked on the link expecting it to be someone that got stuck up there and died over the course of a few days. Allah be praised I can purge that nightmare now.

My plumber has a basement.

Yeah, but how did the raccoon get in there?

~sigh~ 0-1 is the first sublevel available due to a bug. An awesome bug.

special20: Can we get the headline fixed now? I would image it's fairly simple to do.

THIS!!! I'm gonna keep F5ing and staring at it until it's fixed.
There is absolutely nothing more important. I'm not even gonna read the article until it's fixed! I may have to change the stick that's up my ass, though, it's been there for awhile. I hope it doesn't get changed while I am inserting a new one. Although I am sure something inconsequential to complain about will surface soon enough. Last night I couldn't get to sleep because I noticed a repeat yesterday. Oh no I'm bleeding. I think I punctured my colon!

Please let it be Joe. Oh, never mind, he's a PINO.

Now it's diamonds. I'm on a horse.

i once had to chase an opossum with a broom out of my attic, boy was it smelly;
how he got that broom i'll never know

"We believe when we die we go someplace warm and cozy and smelly. You say it's your attic?"

I had similar this summer. The corpse appears to be a little down the wall, in the back bedroom. The only way to get to it is major destruction/rebuild.

FTFA "fatally electrocuted" as opposed to being non fatally electrocuted?

CSB tiem...

Back when I was building houses we hired a contractor to come out and install the lines around a house we had just framed up. My boss at the time knew the company and had done a lot of business with them over the years. They sent out one of their new hires, a man with many years experience and well into his 40s. Big as a house, we figgered he had such a huge gut on him that he probably hadn't seen his own dick since he was a kid. He and his helper seemed to really know their shiat though, took measurements one day, spent another on cutting pipe, drilling holes and setting up. The day they were to do most of the installation, we took that off and went out shooting up in the hills.

Boss calls me the next monday, telling me get to the worksite as soon as I could and wait for him. I get there, there is a hole cut with a chainsaw through the living room floor that cut through about 10 joists and a 4x12 perilam beam that supported a wall along the entrance way and extended across the whole underfloor from the entrance to the kitchen.

Turns out, the plumber dude was so fat, that he had crawled under the floor to install the iron sewer line from the kitchen and a nearby bathroom, and had gotten so stuck the helper kid called the fire department to extract his fat ass and they'd cut a hole through to let him out.

Boss had insurance, and the contractor had insurance, but it set us back about 2 weeks on finishing the place and cost about $30 thou to fix. We never did see those guys again. It is still a source of much hilarity when I see my old boss sometimes.

/CSB off

Well hello there subby! Just ignore these big meanies that are making fun of your idiocy. You can't help it. You were born that way, I image.

I need to quit hanging out on Fark. First thing I thought of was that plumber's work in bathrooms/showers. He was just running the video camera wire through the attic

netringer: Seige101: FTFA "fatally electrocuted" as opposed to being non fatally electrocuted?

CSB: The term "electrocution" was coined by Thomas Edison as part of his campaign to discredit AC current when he built the electric chair. Prior to that he demonstrated thge "electrocution" of elephants.

(Edison was selling DC power distribution which wouldn't scale. When you have an inferior product use PR and lobbying.)

Like.

I came here to make the 'fatally electrocuted' point, but it looks like other people beat me to the point.

Aphoticamy: I've had one of my installers (who was pretty green) get badly shocked by 110. We had to lay him off not long afterwards, he was a danger to himself, and we had too many callbacks on him.

So is it safe to assume that Aussies use 220 like Europe? I wouldn't expect 110 to finish you off if you just bumped into a line. Of course I suppose central air units might use 220 or maybe he was also holding on to a well grounded pipe at the same time.

Our American 110 system is a anachronism caused by being first. Watts are watts though there are small efficiency gains with higher voltage. Mostly, you can use smaller conductors to save copper. Electricity affects different people differently, making it a poor execution method. It more cooks your brain than stops your heart. I've been bit by 240V and it hurts. Your arm feels broken for a while. But it can and has, been fatal.

and what was the broom doing in the attic?
