Do you ever....

Confused.com??? 15 mins to get gear in and set out, hour and a half to tile...it was only a single 3m, 500mm high run, couple of plug sockets but no window or trim work, half an hour or so to grout, 15 mins polish up and dry bottom row with a hairdryer, silicone, pack up, out the door....hey the joiner quoted it not me....some you win, most you don't...after reading a few of the above posts the guilt is subsiding, might bob round with a Christmas card though.

omg you didnt have a coffee break lol

i pusume you booked a whole day to do it so if you do it quicker and they are happy whats the problem i dont tend to do half day jobs unless the customer is happy for me to do it adhok Why would you book half a day in when it is unlikley you will get another half day job

...I presume you obviously haven't read the first post or even first page of this thread...
Have to agree booking half a day for a job is pretty pointless as what you gonna do with the rest of the day BUT...
The joiner quoted and booked me for the day, the whole point of the thread was the fact it felt a bit wrong to take payment well over and above what the job was worth and seeing she was a little oldish lady and not a banker it just made me feel a twang of remorse and was just wondering if anyone else had been in the same predicament...

"omg you didn't have a coffee break"

Oh and yes even managed time for a coffee, the very nice lady had left me all set up with coffee and spoon already in the cup:8:

No bother, I can see how you'd feel about the same scenario and will add your best wishes in her Christmas card :smilewinkgrin:

Just because she's a little old lady doesn't mean she's not a millionaire!
But from the tone of your thread I'd suggest you do feel guilty or you wouldn't have posted. So if you wish to clear your conscience ( and think how you would feel if she was your mam or grandma) and do the decent thing! Me - I'am just a little old man.

I don't feel guilty if a make a decent price on a job. If you do a quality job then it should be worth every penny

Ah I see, so no windows or returns ! not bad going, I myself have recently employed the missus old hair dryer for such tasks !!
