Sometimes you just have to let a job go.

I don't think the customer wanted to pay to much when I told him it would cost and explained what it involved I think he had no idea,my work has not suffered thru not accepting this job,as I said the job was to small,maybe some of you would have taken it on,but I did not want the hassle, getting a bit old now just like to pick and choose my jobs I've done all that hard graft in my early years.

You never know, a small job that's a bit of a pain could turn into something really profitable. Or, the cost of working around other inconviniences may sway your potential customer into a complete re-tile or investing more into their project.

It can be tempting to turn away PITA jobs but they can also lead to better things, I had an enquiry once from a lady who wanted somebody to do a few odd little jobs, I never really fancied it but decided to 'help her out' - turned out she owned several properties and I refurbed two of them, new windows, roof the lot, also built a single storey extension for the son, an extension for the lady herself when she moved and a two storey extension for the daughter!
