what went wrong haggi
we had another 2 jobs pulled from under us recently
thing is if you ask them to sign a contract they get all twitchy,but if they dont they can pull out at any time till the start
we have a big one starting in 2 weeks and that will see us for 3 months,have bought 10,000 bricks for it and if he pulls out its curtains :(

anyway back to now
the guiness tree is in blossom

found those rubber ones with the double filters are good for that sort of work. Those monkey faced jobs are a waste of time

it must be amusing to see the customers face when they try to explain the failed job, and the fact they turned you down first time round!!

at the end of the day you get what you pay for....!.

In our game the multi national main contractors etc used to take 5 quotes and dismiss the highest and lowest and then choose between the 3 on who they wanted to do the job, now they just choose the lowest and then complain about the standard of service they receive.
