:yikes:

Was due to start a 48m Limestone floor next week.

Hemi hydrate floor, with piped UFH down a good few months.Durabase Ci to be laid, then Multi sized Limestone.

I have asked the customer more than once if it has been tested? Have been told yes.......now I found out she assumed I meant pressure tested, not actually switched on and run.

They haven't even even had the boiler fitted yet :yikes:

Customers.......:mad2:

typical

got any more work lined up

 

[Qwerty]

We've all been there CJ! Just like the customers who say all freshly skimmed walls to find they are either pva'd or as flat as the Himalayas!

Moved to the arms to keep out customers prying eyes!

Seems like I have stirred up a hornets nest. :yikes:

I went to see this customer this morning, and after telling her that I will not/can not tile until this floor is connected,Tested......then left for a good 48 hours, she rang her builder........who then rang me. Telling me that she was ranting and in tears to him. (I did tell her that, although it's only a hiccup.....more than a pain.....it's not the end of the world) Anyway, I explained to this builder, who has had enough of this customer (done a lot for them over the last 5 years) that it cannot be tiled until all of the above.
He tells me that he has spoken to a plumber, and the company that pumped this screed, and they apparently said it CAN be tiled before the heating goes on, but he will do as I suggest, but cannot get back to the job for 2 weeks. He also tells me that he's on the verge of telling her to naff off and walking away. I think she's great btw.......she does as I suggest, and then leaves me to it.

Anyway.........needed to get that off my chest, and I have already sorted OTHER work for next week anyway.

Cheers All.......gonna have a couple of hours on settee now **yawn** Then a few :8:

Main thing is you got work to pull forward....nowt worse than being let down and having nothing else to do ...cost you money that takes ages to claw back...enjoy your evening...

I'm on a job at the moment and the builder feels the same, must be the weather.
