Decided to redecorate our bedroom and take out the fitted wardbroab, all going well, carried all the wood downstairs and loaded the car, went back to the bedroom, all you can smell is gas!!!!! Turns out the wanker who owned the house before us fitted them his self and put a screw hrough the gas pipe, but the screw plugged the hole, now we have taken it out, it was left with a hole! and was leaking gas!

My side of the bed, I could of been gassed!!!!

NOB HEAD - everything he has done in the house is a bodged job

we are both non-smokers so we are ok on that level.

We turned the gas off straight away and opened all the windows!

Robs dad has fixed it, he's welded some copper piping over the hole and it's all sorted! Had the central heating on for over 3 hours now and other gas stuff and we ain't gona BOOM yet

wonna go hit the fucking twat who sold the house to us tho

Surely you've had gas leaking from that pipe ever since the screw was put through it - I can't believe there was a good seal with it in there.
