Accused of tearing sheet vinyl .

[Mikey P]

I arrived to an empty military unit and found the fridge 6" out of place.

Usually I clean around appliances.

Seeing how it was pulled out I mistakenly thought they wanted me to get under it

I noticed damage from a missing castor but didn't take pics

Now I'm being blamed for causing it

What do you see?

It's the newest guy in charge creating this drama.


I'm kinda pissed.

 

[FredC]

I'm gonna say based on the edge coloring and curl you weren't the one who did it....or at least weren't the first to tear it

but you didn't document so I guess you might as well have been....although if the fridge is covering that isn't something easy to document (unquestionably)

 

[Kenny Hayes]

I see a castor doing the damage and they could take my word for it or not. Take it or leave it No drama. Either you want me to keep doing the work, or not. Don’t make me get in my truck

 

[Kenny Hayes]

If it’s anything like Tinker here, it’s a pita getting on base, so don’t threaten me

 

[BIG WOOD]

Whoever they hire to Clean the bathrooms and kitchen did it. They're the ones who move the fridge to get the old sticks of butter out from under the fridge

 

[hogjowl]

We all know you didn’t do it.
Is there a Mexican you can call to fix it?

yeah, the guy crying that he just fixed it the day before, and now has to fold (another) flap down and glue it...lol

I have one of Chavez’s cousins on speed dial

so you did do it

 

[Mikey P]

so you did do it

" Crying".

Does that floor look like it was fixed the day before?


I've been through countless handyman guys there and most of them cut out the plank shape and replace it, they don't just smoosh down a tear , if that's what this guy did.

As I said I moved the fridge from where it shouldn't have been to where it was, and that gouge you see there happened on its way out not on its way in.

 

[hogjowl]

You’re sounding a bit suspect now

 

[Mikey P]

No castor= no fault

 

[FredC]

Not checking if casters in place before moving = fault

 

[Mikey P]

Not checking if casters in place before asking carpet cleaner to move fridge moving = fault

 

[Mikey P]

Who in their right mind sees four gouges in a floor and doesn't fix the caster or wheel but just fixes the gouges in the floor...


He must be from the South ..

[FredC]

Looks like you should have stopped when it was hard to push back the first time instead of wiggling it around

and really you shouldn't be sliding it

I'll never move theirs again.


They can clean under by hand.



Funny how it only took 400+ units for this to happen..

I have the Crain Airsled.. I've grown tired of the installers moving appliances back only to gouge the new sheet vinyl.. I tell them to move it out and I'll move it back in so no damage to walls, dings, flooring..

Sucks that happened to you.. We also have Plastic glides that you tilt the appliance on and then slide it under so. you don't risk tearing it.. Sheet vinyl I wouldn't move jack without some type of protection..

Are these rental cleanouts where sometimes the deal is cleaning under large appliances like refrigerators and such?

How do you get the rear castors of the appliance on top of whatever your sliding it with if the fridge is in a tight cubby space?

 

[Bryce C]

I can fix that torn sheet vinyl no problemo, A+ work. Just need to watch a youtube video first..

Some refrigerators are in a cubby space and others have access to at least one side

As I said before I generally don't touch them when cleaning the floors but this one was left so far out of place and cockeyed I had to assume they wanted me to get under it

As the previous owner of several rental properties the last tenant probably pulled it out to hide the damage.
