Just read a post re walking away from jobs due to crap preparation and was wondering how many jobs you guys turn down. I walked away from a job a couple of months back. The guy was a prison warder and he wanted a price for tiling his full kitchen. He wanted the job done in 2 weeks time, was getting a mate in to skim coat all the walls with plaster and wanted me to tile it the day after the plasterer was done. The timber floor was like a trampoline and when I told him I would only tile it if I could do all the preparation myself, he said, Its ok i will do it myself cos he got a week off work and would board it with 9mm ply etc etc.
He simply refused to listen to anything I had to say regarding the prep so I thanked him for wasting my time and left.
If people think they can just get Joe Bloggs in to throw some tiles on their walls and floors thats their problem, I don't advertise apart from my van and have never been busier.
