Theres nothing like a major balls up is there? Took on a last minute commercial job in London, an easy 70 m2 of porcs, to help out a builder under pressure, let down by his own tilers, blah,blah.
Had to be finished and should have been finished before Xmas, would have been finished aswell. Only the builder didn't supply enough tiles. Which were not in stock in the UK, when we ran out of tiles. 4 days before Xmas.
I can only guess the penalties on this job (tens of thousands per week maybe?). Because they organised a courier to drive to Italy to pick up more tiles, after asking the tile factory to open for one day after Xmas to enable the job to get finished.
Tiles turned up yesterday, one of my fixers is in town today to finish everything up, he calls me at lunchtime. Yes you guessed it, builder still didn't supply enough tiles to finish the job. He's probably hung himself by now. :lol:
