This week - another bloody dog. Except this time, when I was wet cutting in the back garden, the neighbours dog would wait until the tile was screaming through the wheel, and bark its head off. Of course, when that cutting noise is going through your ears and the concentration is max, I shlt my pants every time that damn thing barked.

Lovely dog though.....

Customer wasn't in today when i got to the job. Phoned them and they told me they was sorry, but they had to leave for work early, that they had left me a key and that i should let myself in and make a start. This was fine but they had boxes of plain tiles which i was expecting, and boxes of patterned tiles that i wasn't. I phoned the customer and they explained they saw the patterned tiles and liked them. They then went on to explain over the phone exactly where abouts they wanted the patterned tiles to be placed. Thinking i had it all worked out i made a start. Just had a phone call saying the tiles are not where they wanted them and could i take them down tomorrow and put them in again where they show me. 🙁 Someone slap me please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope you explained there is an additional cost to all this extra tiling? 🙂

Got a guy doing a job for me.

I quoted it back a few months ago. Straight ceramic onto a bathroom wall. A gift.

Phoned the lad tonight to see how he is getting on, and he said 'those porcelain tiles are buggers and them mosaic borders are taking ages to put on.....'

Good job a worded the quote to the letter, for when I double the cost tomorrow.

Hate it.

oooooooo - we should name and shame customers! Bring on the day they do a program on TV showing how bad customers can be, they do so many about traders, we need some defence!
