Some customers !!

[hillhead]

After a couple or rare quiet weeks for me i finally started a full house job today, great.
The wife of the house had agreed to meet me there this evening (i'm doing the work for the builder although customer look like paying me now,happy days).
I was tiling the kitchen floor in 4 sized porcelain(leonardo cassia beige) so had to leave a path to let the wifey walk through to wetroom area this evening.
40m2 Porcelain, 57m2 Polished marble(20mm thick) for wetroom and bathroom, 7m2 victorian porch, 5m2 marble splash etc.
Well here goes... she lands in, looks at the tiles i'v laid(18m2) and says
" I don't like that colour ! " she bought them and paid for them.
Anyway she leaves and rings me at 4pm, she was talking to her husband and he wants me to stop ! he'll be home friday and will have a look.
I packed tools up and had to get out, can't even tile a bathroom or owt.
Pain in rear for sure, so i have no work again tomorrow.
I have arranged for friday start on another 4 day job so they can all whistle until middle of next week.
Even the builder wants the house all finished by next week so he has NO HOPE now. Certainly not by me,lol.
Rant over, hello everyone.

Joe, don't you just love this game. How many times do we have to lose out on the whim of a customer:mad2: hey ho,

 

[hillhead]

I'm just glad they are for paying me direct as the builder would rip my prices to bits like most out there lately.

Funny people, but money talks and they have it by the looks. Lol.

Joe if they can afford to change thier mind then they can afford to pay you for the lost work surely?

 

[redlee]

Joe if they can afford to change thier mind then they can afford to pay you for the lost work surely?

I agree with that are you going to try and bill them for the day you wont be working?

 

[hillhead]

Well lads i will have to take it into account on my bill for sure, i'm still not sure if the builder is paying me or them but i think it's them.
I'll be speaking to the husband on tomorrow i hope but i'll be on another job now until about next wednesday so funny situation as the builder wanted me out by next friday,lol.
