As it says,I'm having a stinker. 

Up at half 5 to get a job done in a school,all went well there,apart from the early start. 

Had to them wait to collect keys for a property that I was meant to be in yesterday to work,but didn't get them because a plumber still had them. 

Eventually got them,started unloading stuff into the flat to get the job started and I've locked myself out of the communal door. 

No one is answering the intercom. 

No one is answering to a chap on the windows. 

The spare keys have all been left upstairs by the letting agency. 

Locksmith cant get the lock open. 

Intercom cant be over ridden from outside. 

Ive now to sit and wait until someone gets home from work,so I can get back in as the flat door is wide to the wall and all my tools are there. 

I've a whole days work to do and potentially won't get started until after 5. 

Its sunny though........

I had a similar thing in Spain last January. We drove into a car park under the apartment block we were staying in, the door closed and wouldn't open without a fob (must have been open by chance from another car coming or going)

we ended up chapping all the doors in the block with no answer. There were clearly people in too. I suppose the story we'd have given them would on face value appear dodgy. Infuriating.

Bet you are back out the door within 2-4 hours...max!

Full days works to do my arse. :lol:

I think he is a sparky. So, you are being very generous with the 4 hour timescale. 20 minutes tops I reckon.

Home now. 

Wired 2 x smoke detectors and a heat detector,replaced light in bathroom,changed over 6 way board,tidied up heating cables into an acceptable joint box and cleaned up behind me. 

About 4 hours work,but would've easily had it last a day if I had to :rollsmile:

So how would this work?

Drive car to location. 

Lock self out (and then have missus pick you up for day at home babysitting).

Start thread on tamb as 'alibi' and make key posts now and then (for court later if needed).

Mmmm clever. B)
