[Abstract tiling]

been a strange week, been finishing a restaraunt im on with at the min done all the wall tiling and levelled the floor. been paid in dribs and drabs?? now ive done a good bit of work for this guy , but now he is not answering my calls. so downed tools tuesday and said no more till full payment on the walls. so no answer of the phone so i go sit outside another large job he has on for last 2 days no sign of him at all. so i know where he drinks every friday .2mz i am going to just bob in for a pint see what excuses he comes up with. no a huge amount he owes me but still its the principle.

 

[DHTiling]

Yes it is the principle.. let us know how you get on..

 

[Ian]

Just remember and keep calm! Don't get yourself in bother! He might have an honest reason!

 

[aph257]

im not gonna go in all guns blazing just going to ask him why he has been ignoring my calls, he rang me saturday saying he has my money. and this week havent heard anything?? he has a lot of work on at the minute so aint gonna burn my bridges.

 

[Gazzer]

You dont need to burn bridges, just tell him you have bills to pay. Be careful in the future though as if he has done this once he can do it again. Maybe come up with an arrangement for regular payments.

i would rather fall out with a stranger than fall out with my wife, which is what will happen if you dont bring some money home with you ,be polite but firmly say that you are not happy and ask him what he is going to do about it .

my business partner just recieved a call of the guy. he said he tried ringing us yesterday because he had our cash, and also the resteraunt toilet floor is redy to be tiled which is 35 meters. so meeting in the morning get the cash and going to ask for half the floor money upfront. apparently he was all apologise's.

 

[aph257]

good, get back on the tools in the morning then.

 

[Abstract tiling]

yep, been bored out my head last 2 days didnt have owt to fit in as i had the floor booked in.

 

[hillhead]

Get the cash and go for it !!!
Cash is slow in so many places, i'm waiting on money from two men.
A builder and his client !!! lol.
I'v got from the client, but he owes the builder who owes me and the client won't answer the builders calls.lol. complicated.
Now the client is out abroad too and on monday i'm back in action for the builder on another house.. oops. he owes me but i trust this one.

Unlucky mate, hopefully tomorrow brings good news. Though I'd have thought if he's not answering his phone, he's either not well enough to go to the pub. Orrrrrr he is and he's playing silly buggers.

Glad to see this has been resolved.

Incidentally - alcohol and arguments never mix. Worse thing you could do is confront someone over a pint....
