First job I ever got off the forum was about 7 or 8 years ago. Was a main bathroom that was leaking and failing and a WC. Spin on 3 years and I had very little work on and I was struggling financially. In a stroke of good fortune the clients contacted me again for 2 more ensuites, a WC and a huge area of ground floor tiling in their extension. Went round several times to measure up and offer advice and got a price together. Then I got a very apologetic voicemail telling me he didn't know the price for the building work included the tiling and he wouldn't be using me. Couldn't have happened at a worse time and I really struggled over the following weeks and months.
Now I'm back there to redo the 2 ensuites he had done and another ensuite in an attic conversion that's about to be finished. Oh and the big floor is failing in places too! The house is huge and stunning, totally unrecognisable from when I was first there. They told me the only 2 rooms they haven't touched are the ones I did all those years ago and they still look mint - I can't pretend I wasn't feeling smug.
I've just finished the first of the ensuites (got final fix to do once decorators been) and number 2 is ripped out and first fix almost complete.
