Tradesperson inviting people into my home

[IvyPlant]

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.

I think that’s the right thing to do OP.
let hun finish up, and then say I want this many days knocked off. Gross

the guy helped himself to food and drink in the house and didn't wash his hands after going to the toilet 🤮

You have a camera in the bathroom?

Makes sense @IvyPlant

cheeky Eating-your food

a cuppa or cold drink I wouldn’t begrudge no problem

though how do you know he didn’t wash his hands

and I confirm the woman made a reappearance today. I know who she is now too as it's as we expected

How do you know who she is, you mean her identity or just that she's the side piece?

@IvyPlant You know who she is? Apart from NotHisWife?

Watching

Here for the updates

so who is she then?

The update just makes it worse

Are you going to tell his wife?

Just gross. He's been so bloody deceptive and creepy.

And now you know he helps himself to your food, what else is he helping himself to around your house?

I don't know how you can bear to have him back at all.

I assume OP means she knows who she is to him based on their behaviour together as opposed to actually knowing the identity of the woman, but I hope I’m could be wrong

The whole thing is just gross. There's no way I'd be paying him full price. He's been shagging on the job and eating your food.

God they're grim the pair of them 🤢

I am agog at this. Good luck OP. What an absolutely unbelievable "tradesman", He deserves to be publicly shamed once you have got your key back and confronted him.

So you have a camera in every room in the house?

Other cheeky fuckery: the guy helped himself to food and drink in the house and didn't wash his hands after going to the toilet 🤮

How can you possibly know this unless you have a camera in the toilet?

I think you’ve over egged the pudding now OP so will await the MNHQ deletion message.

She may have a downstairs toilet with no sink, thereby should use kitchen sink to wash hands ?

Maybe she has a loo in a utility room but you have to wash your hands in the kitchen 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m unconvinced that this is anything other than entirely plausible, but I admit to also being curious as to how you know he’s not washed his hands after using the loo…

I would rather not explain where the cameras are at this stage just in case. Happy to answer all questions once the ordeal is over.

The poster who said I know who the woman is in relation to the tradesperson is correct. I don't know her name etc.

Every single fibre of my being is making me want to tell him not come back, but I will be seeking recourse once he's finished. Thankfully haven't paid him anything yet.

Oh man! What are you gonna do? Sounds like he’s cheating on his wife? Are you gonna tell the wife?

How long is left on the job now Op? Has he given you an update following the work so far as compared to his original estimate?

The whole thing sounds gross though and I'm not surprised you're upset.

Ah. Good point
