[Dan]

Did you get a message pop up about a short reply?

 

[Stocks Tiles]

Nope, just sounded like a short message lol

 

[Dan]

Oh okay fair enough lol

 

[Stocks Tiles]

This is going to bug me all night now if terry don't come online haha... :/

 

[Dan]

If he hasn't said in his first post, I assume he will want to keep his cards close to his chest mate. It might be worth you sending him a personal message.

 

[Stocks Tiles]

Shall do, just matches up to location, measurements and being a b&b that was a job was requested to start then complete silence I'll send him a message, it's just for curiousity now as I'm too busy as it is!

 

[Dan]

Cambridgeshire way?

 

[Stocks Tiles]

Yes Cambridgeshire, it's where I'm based and job is in houghton, I got a copy of the tile order which made it click haha. Sent him a message, it would be a good job for him to get, very good stuff and he pays with no problem - if same job.

 

[Dan]

If I'm not mixing the threads up, I think he first asked about the job. And he said he didn't feel comfy doing it. So rather than him give it up, we suggested he lets somebody else to take it on, on the understanding he gets a cut, and can go on the job and learn a thing or two.

Sooooo, I'm not sure why whoever passed it on opted to go for them and not somebody with experience. Sounds like he didn't perhaps do the quoting. And by the sounds of that post, he needs somebody to quote it maybe?

Might be mixing my threads up. Done that a lot lately with burning candle at both ends on here lol

 

[terrycoe1]

Hi guys dean just read ur posts yes this is the same place small world and I'm all the way in Chelmsford I was reccomended to the client the other week but I wasn't comfortable taking the job on as I felt I didn't have enough experience with what needed to be done and wasn't local for me enough to take on

 

[Dan]

Maybe room for you both to take a look at it and sort a deal out here?

Just make the customer happy, do the job, both make some money, and you get to learn a bit about large jobs involving loads of products.

 

[Stocks Tiles]

No you ain't mixing threads up, I only want to know if it's the place I asked about to answer my curiousity if it's the job that i was having involvement in as its been around 5-6 weeks since had dealings with it. We did kinda detour on things though haha

 

[Dan]

@terrycoe1 has replied above matey. Don't miss that for the sake of me jumping in.

Perhaps room for some partnership on the job?

 

[terrycoe1]

The job has since been taken on and dealt with Dan

 

[Dan]

Booooooooo

I'll unstick the thread then mate. I pushed this out to thousands of twittererererers earlier too.

Unlucky mate.

 

[terrycoe1]

Oh yeh no I'm involved still just waiting to finalise a few things the jobs has been won exchanged a few texts etc and has been very helpful with other things so all is good thanks for your help also

 

[Dan]

Do you still need a guy to lead the job then or is that sorted now too?

 

[Stocks Tiles]

What a mystery haha, certainly a journey for you! Well good luck with it Terry, nice amount of work hope you get the confidence in bigger jobs

Cheers mate
