Fell out with a neighbour

[albyshellshear]

:yikes: wow.. the mind boggles... I had someone proudly show me their decorating work once, too, pain everywhere, I thought there had been an accident of sorts!! Some people maybe would be better of living in a cave...

Re fitted and tiled the walls of a neighbours bathroom. Didn't do the floor because he wanted vinyl! I'm getting the blame two years later for making the floorboards squeak!

Another neighbour, whom I just reattached an outside vent or something, told her she owed me a pint. True to her word she came out with a four pack of co-op 'best' bitter!, split the pack, gave me one and took the other three back in the house!! stunned!

Just lost a job after the customer said to me "the jobs yours, I accept your quote" and a week later he tells me he no longer wants to pay to straighten the walls as his builder mate said it was ok to tile onto, and you dont need to sort out the floorboards as you can chipboard it and tile it.

I laughed, bid him good luck, and placed the phone down. One wall needed dry-lining, the other 3 were ok. The floor needed fixing, overboarding properly, and I priced up some ditra matting at cost as he has Marble floor tiles. All this prep wont be done, I know it. Can you imagine the mess?

Hopefully I get a sheepish phone call in a few weeks 🙂

edit: and I might just be tempted to laugh really hard, and put the phone down 🙂

Part 2, gave a friend of mine a quote before xmas, was told I was going to be too much money and that they would be going with a bathroom firm that deals with everything. So this firm ripped everything out, sorted out the walls (did they Mind your language!) and re-tiled. Yes, they fitted the electric shower and cut round it, yes that is black grout instead of Silicon sealing it in 🙂 The bath has been sealed with grout also lol!
