Don't ya just Hate Mondays

[CJ]

New job to start today...............nothing major. 22m floor, old, but solid farmhouse kitchen floor. SBR/Slurry. Then tile.

Turn up today to start, only to be met by a confused looking "wannabe builder type"

"Oh, I didn't realise you where coming today" Well, we went through the job and booked it in for today.

The floor/walls are being tanked this week, then skimmed he tells me.

So now, I have to book it in again............when I have no space to book it in to..............busy busy for wot feels like months at the moment. I have had the busiest start of the year, that I have ever had.

We all know wot its like to play catch up, when we don't have enough hours in the day to actually catch up.

I hate customers sometimes.

Monday morning moan over. rrr:

Typical. I'd lose my rag over things like that. I guess you can't charge the bugger for lost time else you risk losing the job. Total catch 22.

a phone call would have been nice to let you know

 

[Stewart]

I'd be charging.....!

CJ, we wouldnt have it any other way. The life n times of a top tiler. :lol:

 

[CJ]

You'd be lucky to get any money from this sort of thing, unless you have a written contract.

When he phones and says its ready.............I won't be. rrr:

I have to ask a question here..... how many of you check a few days before the job is about to start? I give clients hell, ringing three times a week before we're booked in. This gives them a kick up the backside to get things ready.

Pick up the phone!

my customers usually phone me but if i've not heard off them a few days before, i ring to check they're ready

I popped in last week.............although i have to say. I suspect the guy is a pork pie short of a picnic. :smilewinkgrin:
