Not as arkward as spelling awkward;)
Mind you, you posh types speaking with the plumb in your mouth it does sound like arkward...
Like Marc asking Gary ‘where’s the mixer’ and Gary saying ‘ it’s his day off m’lord’ ?

Have you heard those lads talk ? If you got in a room with Simon Garry and Marc you would need a translator! It's all apples and pears, dog and bone, ruby murray:D

If customer wants to change from original quote then only makes sense price can be renegotiated for all the above reasons. It’s like getting a body shop to price for painting a plank of wood and turning up with a Lamborghini countach expecting it to be painted for same price!

Depending how big the space is , if you priced it right in the first place and there isn't to much fiddle you should be ok . Best get Katrina to set out though .
It's effectively having the price lowered before starting. Not a chance for me

Without question I’d be charging more. As already said the extra time involved in set out and cutting is gonna be way more than an hour or two and by the time your finished you’ll be kicking yourself if you don’t. Random bond planks are a dream to fit by comparison. Depending on the cutting in I’d be charging between 10-20% more.

From what I’ve read elsewhere you won’t be doing it! Yes/No?

But if you did would you lose it for an extra days money.
Still thinking about it John. I have to speak to the Boss. I always price things on what's the minimum I want per day. If I can make that then Herringbone, basket weave doesn't make a difference. :)
