I have got the hump , been chasing a designer(disorganised poser) for payment of extras where we were booked in to tile a bathroom for 2 weeks and we arrive (me and another tiler who i am paying day rate to ) on site and couldnt get access to the room until 2.30 in the afternoon , we tiled a shelf/boxing 3 times as he couldnt decide where he wanted the sliding door put in and revisit to site to tile a bath panel, any way those are the extras I want paying for and this idiot has been avoiding me for the last week and a half after initially agreeing to pay these items has now came out with some bull about me undermining him to the client ,I put it rather forthrightly that he undermined himself by using a new team who couldn't deliver a quality finish or get the prep work done on time, I finally got him on the phone today and I am still miffed to say the least as this pratt expects everybody else to pay for his mistakes,some people treat tradesmen with no respect :mad2:

They are good at blaming other people for there mistakes...Been there done that!!

i had one that double ordered a clients tiles by mistake, they were non returnable too, he asked me to loose them for him reather than own up to his mistake, i didn't want them, they were horrible (what you would expect from a disigner) think the plumber had them.

had no problem getting paid though, what he done might of slip out when the customer was about...:lol:

Mmm designers eh....
In my experience there are two types... ones who are very understated and produce lovely work and treat you well, and the above idiots with no taste and no consideration for anyone.
If i work for a new designer they get one chance to impress me, i'd never give the type above any time after that kinda treatment, i had one royally drop me in it, and i was daft enough to do more work for him.
A post well worth paying attention to, just a shame you're going through it Gary, sack him off mate.

It's people like that who make you loose your trust in others, now I don't waste my time with anyone, I view job, make very detailed description of exactly what I intend doing then email it to them.... Muppets!
