A couple of other builders i work for wouldn't but i always mention to the customer that i have to ask builder first and if it has to go through him this is the only way i will do it. Wouldnt want it to be done to me. :thumbsup:

best thing enduro always ask first i do it i know really if the customer wants it doing then it should go for you but most builders would get offended if they werent consulted first

Hows this though for greed!! A sparky I often work alongside had to repair some cables that had been chopped by a builder. He sorted it all out and relayed a few new cables and put the bill in for 600€. He bumped into the owner of the house a few days later to be told he is extortionate how can anybody charge 6000.00€ for 3 days work. The builder had the cheek to charge for their mess up plus adding a 0 onto the bill. OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!!

I hope he put the customer straight on who was charging what in that case.

Business Baby, Business.

I've had to recondition my way of thinking also. Sooner or later someone gets shafted. Or.....you pay for the "Ghost with the Most"

Hey, I got 12 kids to feed, and my knees ache! #5000's chump change lady, I gave you a discount, what?!

Money come, money go.

It ain't funny if I ain't got no money.
