hi all!!

[charlie1]

Hi all,

Not posted in a while but been keeping my eye on the forum!! good to see most of you still here, and some new faces!!

Went out to price a 15m2 slate floor last week, just calling client back with estimate and he tells me (as if doing me a favour), ive just given the plywood a coating of pva and gonna give it another tomorrow!! OMG!!

so i told him to wash it all back off again with some hot soapy water!, ffs!! He is the kinda guy who thinks he knows best about everything tbh.

when i tried to price his tiles at local shop, the girl told he "are you working for mr ...bla"
, ermm yip, well i have given him the full discout so you wont get then any cheaper!! , i then told him of our discussion and his words where "yip - you dont know who you are dealing with here , im a tough nagotiator and know how to deal with tradsmen!!" orely!! it was then he informed me of his handy work with the pva!! what a nob!

Need him like a hole in the head:rockstar:

 

[charlie1]

nothing worse than a customer that thinks they know everything!! need to tread carefully and start as i mean to go on with him!!, i dont mind customer asking relivent questions during a job but he better no cross the line!!

Good luck - sounds like a rash!
Its a bit like when they take the door of the bathroom off so they can sit and watch you tile.:mad2:
I just put up a dust sheet to stop them or sit and wait till they go.
Something always happens when they're watching.
Had a joiner working on a kitchen wood panelled ceiling and I told him this customer would get in the way. 1st piece he put up cracked the bloke on the head and he was off!:smilewinkgrin:
