Cleaning my tools, especially when I have to take them home to do so, as my black bin has started to show signs of stress and lack of volume compared to a while ago!

Talking about customers who are not so "hospitable" -
Did a job end of Nov last year - barn in the middle of nowhere, 15 mins drive from nearest shops. Was a kitchen floor, job had run over because of Kitchen companyand customer - ( moving island unit in middle of job ). Got to Friday and customer had visitors coming next day. I arrived at 07:30 am - said I would stay to finish & grout. Still there at 8:30pm - told customer I was going out for sandwich. When I got back, 15 mins later they had chinese takeaway delivered :icon8: F***IN SELFISH C***

Anyway, I stayed till 10pm to finish, but never again. They could at least offered, I would have paid for my own. :icon8:

 

[M D HUGHES]

Shocking mate, no one ever eats a full chinese takeaway to themselves niether, tut tut!

Eeeeeeeee this is serious lads, people still able to get the cash together to pay for a tiler and spend days watching Jeremy Kyle. Whats going on in the world, its not as if were cheap, support dole must be good these days!

Probably not as nasty as some of the other posts on here but I did an old guys shower n sink last week, poor guy just lost his wife a few months ago. Obviously old school and never done a days spring cleaning before. His bathroom was minging. Anyway, the bog was filthy especially aroung the bots so afetr finishing up I decided to give the place a good going over. Not sure how someone misses the toilet with thier arse but there you go. Was pretty nasty but made me feel better, left the place gleaming in a state his missus would have been proud of. Hope this isn't a soft side I'm gunna lose money on in future but you gotta be soft and helpful to the people you can see are genuinely in a bit of a state. Karma, lads n lasses, it'll reward you in the long run.

 

[Leatherface]

Aw, bless you.
You can come and clean my bog anytime !!! :wink_smile:

 

[M D HUGHES]

Do you not sleep much niether then? I've got my excuses for being such an ansomniac, whats yours?

 

[Leatherface]

Dunno - age I suppose & also having a young baby - used to sleep deprivation !!

 

[M D HUGHES]

Do you mean age as in Old, or age as in Young. Your far to much of a none identity with all your side kicks n disguises. Who knows who thier talking to when they are a cross between Harry hill and Christina Aguilera (spellcheck).
Lots of good advice and some serious plugging for your sponsors though!

My missus told me years ago, "you'll never make any money doing bathrooms etc... you'll go to some little old dears house, feel sorry for her, do the job for peanuts and be back there the next day fixing her fence for nothing...."

I told her I would let my conscience guide me...... and who knows, theres always the old dears 'will':wink_smile:

Mr Smiths 40 year old dog that barks at 10 decibells because somebody has entered the building.

The the damn thing treading all over your tools rubbish bucket, then barking at you with the deepest, loudest 'woof' you have ever heard in your life.

Then Mrs Smith laughing cuz the family dog is barking at you whilst you are balanced on some steps trying to polish off the ceiling you have just spent 30 minutes skimming getting it to perfection - instead of trying to get rid of it into the garden.

Hate it. 🙁

 

[epoxy pete]

heres a good one for you regarding dogs,a mate of mine was tiling a council house kitchen in blackburn,walked in the house,dog started yapping,little terrier or something,now gordons a happy chap,so said hello to it gave it a stroke etc,it stilll carried on yapping......jokingly he said"anymore from you and ill throw you in the canal at the bottom of the garden".....anyway next thing he knows the site agent stops him at lunchtime to say that the lady whose house he has just tiled had put a complaint in about what he was going to do to her dog!!!!........i couldnt stop laughing🙂

 

[Concept PHT]

hey yar, here's another one.....

Just completed a job for Mr Smith (Who incidentaly owns the vocally blessed dog I was just on about)....

He's ex RAF and still thinks he's in. Everything laid out, spotless and uniformed.

SoI tip up to do his bathroom refurb. Complete rip out. Ceilings, walls the lot.

His eyes fall out at the mess I have created, all neatly stacked in a pile in his garage to be taken away by him. HE THEN STARTS CLEANING UP WHILST I AM TRYING TO GET MY DATUM LINE ON THE WALLS, kicking my laser level by accident etc....

To cap it off, he starts moaning that I have been cleaning my buckets / trowels and washboy out on the grass over the recent days, and that the grass will die. He was obvioulsy oblivious to the scorch stains on the grass where his 40 year old dog had been slashing acid plss all over it.

To add to the final patronisation, he said it was a military thing and that I wouldn't understand. Didn't have the heart to tell him that I left the Army a higher rank than him.... bless 🙂

Hate it.

 

[CON5933]

I believe the term to describe him is ANAL....🙂

 

[Concept PHT]

Bang on mate 🙂

 

[wivers]

Should have grabbed him by his war wounds, swung him round the garden, then let his dog **** all over him while he's laying in a heap in the rose bushes!! 🙂

 

[CON5933]

don't beat about the bush wivers.....just say what you mean🙂

 

[wivers]

LOL!

My turn for a moan. Had a right ***** of a day today, first time i have ever walked off a job (with damn good reason though). Went to do a job at 9:00 this morning, a 4m2 kitchen splash back, should have been a piece of cake. put spirit level on benches and couldn't believe how far out they ran, God knows who fittend that, so that mean't i was going to have a right f*** on to start with. Primed the walls and started setting out, bent over to pick up my spirit level and my jeans ripped right down the crack of my arse 😱mg_smile: . The time was 9:15 and already my blood pressure was building.

The house is tiny so i set up all my tools and cutters in the back patio/garden. All was going well until 12:00. At this point 10 toddlers show up for a damn kids party, they were in my tool bag, running around right next to my wet cutter, knives, off cuts of ceramic tile were all over the floor. That was it for me, Packed me bags and told the customer it was far too dangerous for me to continue and that i would come back tomorrow, which i will, but i also told her that i was annoyed that she booked me the same day as having her kids 4 year birthday party as it has basically put me back 1 day. AAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!:angry_smile: Not a happy bunny!

 

[CON5933]

You should have got into the spirit of the thing.... give the kids the offcuts and let them 'mosaic' the walls🙂
that would teach her....

 

[Varley]

Honestly m8, Health and Safety nightmare, there was just no way i could take the chance because the parents didn't seem to mind the fact that their kids were playing tiggy around a wet saw. I was ****tin meself in case one of them got hurt, i rell you i have never cleared my gear away so fast, just threw it in me car and washed it all when i got home.

 

[Concept PHT]

Personally, I wouldn't go back. It sounds like a right nightmare of a job with the surface running off.

Or take it as lesson learn't that you should take your spirit to the quote and suffer the pain of doing the job lol 🙂

Believe me, i'll be taking my level with me to every quote from now on, just saw it was a brand new kitchen and ASSUMED it would be level, assumed being the problem.
