Often, conflicts arise between builders and employers over payment for the amount of work performed. Who is right and who is wrong is known only to them. And now we will consider the most popular ways of securing (revenge) that builders use.
1. Egg . Perhaps the most popular and simple means of punishment. Usually it is used by masons and plasterers. But due to the ease of use, other construction professionals can also apply.
The essence of revenge is simple: a small hole is made in a fresh egg with a needle. The egg hides in masonry, in plaster, in ventilation ducts, under the bathtub, in hollow ceiling channels, etc. The egg can be hidden in advance (felt that they would not pay), or after a conflict in the process of collecting the tool. After a week, when the egg rots, the room starts to stink terribly. The source of the smell is almost impossible to find. It will stink for a long time, because the hole is small. As a rule, it is cheaper to pay the debt to the builders who laid the egg than to hire new ones.
2. Bottle in the wall . The effect is powerful and unlimited in time. The result of such a trick is an unbearable rumble, standing around the clock.
The principle is also simple: an empty bottle is embedded in a wall, window opening or somewhere else. The open neck "looks" at the street. Even a slight breeze creates a rumble in the bottle. It is impossible to find the source of the sound, it seems that the whole house is buzzing.
3. Fuse . Electricians use this method. At the final stage of work, when there are suspicions that they will not be paid, a fuse is soldered into the gap of one of the cables - a fusible link. At the time of delivery of the house, the client is convinced that everything works. And if the electricians are not paid the agreed amount, then the fuse remains in the wall. When you turn on any - or a large load - it burns out. The house remains stress-free. You can find this place, but you have to hire a new electrician. When looking for a cliff, he will have to make a lot of holes in the freshly repaired walls. If you hide the true reason for the absence of light, he will still understand it. And he can also play it safe ... A vicious circle will turn out. Cheaper to pay the first electricians.
4. Copper and aluminum. Also a revenge tool of electricians. It will show itself in a couple of years. And if it is in a humid room or on the street - in a couple of months. Connecting copper and aluminum wires will lead to strong oxidation of the contact and, as a result, a loss of voltage. And this is at best. Bad contact under heavy load will inevitably cause heat and ... fire.
5 . Wrong floor slope in the bathroom - water will accumulate under the bath.
6. Reverse slope of the bathroom - the water itself will never completely escape into the drain hole.
7. Damage . Yes, and it happens.
8. Broken wire. Usually done in a shield or box. The wire is bent several times until it breaks. Visually - the wire is whole. Even the contact is weak. For someone who will eliminate this reason, there will be a good puzzle: why there is voltage in the socket or lamp, but when the load is turned on, nothing works.
9. Feather in the chimney . It's the baker's revenge. A feather is lowered on a thread into the stove or fireplace chimney. As a result, draft is broken and the stove will constantly smoke into the house.
10. Pyatak in the pipe . When installing plumbing or heating, the master of which is going to offend, can weld a washer into the pipe. Water seems to pass, but with a significant loss of pressure. And if it is heating with natural circulation, the water will move very poorly and the pipes will be cold.
