Would you take this on, or walk away?

Phil, everyone has said everything that needs to be said, you know that there need to be more expansion joints and you could encounter a multitude of other problems along the way. I have a theory, that you are never remembered and thanked for the good work you do, you only get remembered for the bad jobs, even if it no fault of your own.

You seriously want to be stressing over this?

Life is to short for headaches, and this could be a migraine in the making.

Do the right thing politely decline.

It is a well known statistic in the customer services industry that if you have a good experience with a supplier you will tell between 5 and 7 people. If you have a bad experience you will tell between 17 and 25 people..... We humans are a negative sort generally and apparently love a good old moan.....

Thanks everyone for your feed back, it seems unanimous a no from all, sad part is the clown that laid it will be on his next job now. And someone will come along and take it on.:mad2:

Phil I would say no too but I have put myself in situations of recent with a slow start to year whereby I have entertained jobs that I would normally
one of those jobs has already cost me more than I have paid out to get it done.

I know it is going against the flow but hay ho with work the way it is I would probably take it on as long as the client understood I would not take responsibility for work I did not fix and a stipulation that expansion joints be left at the appropriate intervals and filled with Silicon

Good move Phil for not taking it on.
The fact that you had to ask meant you had doubts and you really know your stuff, so those kinda jobs just aren't worth it.
You can be certain it would fail (for whatever reason) and you'd be up to your neck in grief!
