Tradesperson inviting people into my home

1000 replies

Currently got a tradesperson in to do a job. They quoted me a day rate of 8 days work (which I think will take less time than that, but they're the expert...)

Anyway, that's not my AIBU. I checked my security footage this week and noticed a woman popped round to my house when I was out and tradesperson was working alone in my house. I can only see her walk past my front door to the back garden gate, she knocks and then the feed ends. She's seen leaving 4 hours later. The next day, same thing, except 3 hours.

At present the tradesperson gets here for about 8am and has already stopped working by 3pm. So that's 7 hours of work, fair enough, but 4 (and 3) of them an unknown woman here is (it's not his wife, I did a little social media digging and it's not her).

AIBU if I question him about it next week? He still has 4 days left to finish the job next week and I don't l like the fact there's an unknown and univited person in my house when I'm not there, plus, how much work can he really be doing if his "mate" is there for 4 hours.

He's going to get the shock of his life when he realises you know what he's been doing.

Oh she is definitely working for him

MrsCplus · 18/09/2022 18:56

I am full invested in this thread 😂

Some electric jobs are a lot easier with two people. (pulling new wires etc)
She may need cushion/blanket for kneeing on the floor, outbuildings may be dirty.
Your cushions were moved from the window to let more light in.
She parked over the road as she is not legally declared & you are a ex copper.
He tried to block her from view of camera for the same reason.
She is his daughter/sister....
😂
or not.

Shamelessly placemarking...

SueDCreme · 18/09/2022 19:07

I have a feeling that she of the wafty skirt, biker jacket and messy bun/ponytail won't be popping in anymore....
Hope she does tho otherwise we're all going to be very VERY dissapointed !

IvyPlant · 18/09/2022 19:10

It's not Tuesday yet guys but I did receive a delivery of super, secret spy stuff 🕵️‍♀️ I'm going to have dinner first and then open them and see what's what.

TwoOwlSocks · 18/09/2022 19:15

Ask him if he needs a cushion for when he does the male and female plug connections.
