first job of the year postponed

[mikethetile]

got a call last night

client out of funds and cant have the work done untill march

ive rebooked them but i havent been able to bring any jobs forward

i had nothing booked for next week so thats two weeks with no work

just what i need having had two weeks off already

i have chased payments this morning and have been promised a cheque friday

oh the joys of being self employed

Sorry to hear it mate.

I got to the job today and was told the travertine wont be arriving until later today. then the client told me of "small " alterations that he needed to do before i started ! Any way just waiting for call to say travertine arrived and will go back as its very local.
Should get set out today and ready for a start in the morning. At least its inside and warm.

im just looking around the house to see what needs redecorating

if i sit on here for two weeks she will probably have a great deal to say on the matter

better off spending my beer money on paint and having a quite life

i think ill have another coffee while im making a list

 

[Gazzer]

Coffee ? good idea

 

[Deleted member 9966]

coffee, excellent idea :hurray: decaff with sugar and milk.

shame you're in leighton buzzard Mike, there's a ready prepped en-suite in my house in Stoke that needs walls and floors doing :smilewinkgrin: maybe one day it will get tiled :lol:

 

[mikethetile]

thanks grr

im sure your with your organisitional and supervisory skills that wont stay untiled for lon g

ive just been on rated people and theres a redec going locally

its going to cost 20 quid for the lead which i resent paying as i might not get the job

but on the other hand i do have a two week window to fill

so here goes

20 less beer tokens

would be billing them for at least a 1/2 days lost earning at the end of the job,if they can afford to take an extra week in the sun at this time of year and not have enough decency to let you know then surely they can stump up for wasting your time:incazzato:
