Maybe the first time a customer has stalked a tradesman what’s his problem?
Tell me about it, right at the beginning he just told me he'll get someone else to do it.. so I said 'I think that's best'.. I thought that'd be the end of the conversation! Lol
 
I.m in Bath with a Stella.

I'm gonna ride that :bananas:

Stay ok mate I had a woman last week she insisted she had paid me for two rooms when I had done one last November and was intent on a refund count my lucky stars I still had the text from last November to show she’d only paid for one
 
He's now messaged me again.. couldn't be arsed to read them but something about someone doing it for £160 less that I was.. and he's seen all the pictures.. lol.. he's relentless.
Tell him is imaginary plasterer has got more chance of throwing a snowball on the sun than making that good
 
The window fitting business seems to attact types like that, I've met a few, did some work for a regional manager and he was a hard pushy case as well. Expected quotes the very next day and didn't understand why trades called in for a quote didn't even ring him back after their visit.
 
I know mate, I couldn't bring myself to read his messages.. would wind me up too much l, don't want to be drawn into a slagging match, I don't go to work for a scrap, don't have any time for people like that.

Although I have been thinking up something to respond with to press his buttons one last time I'm not going to lie.

Send him the link to this thread.
 
My son been to work with me a few times and I reckon he’d make a better job of that boarding and he’s 10 , id love to have look at some of the windows he’s fitted
 
Tbh I also have 45,650 photos on my phone now too every single job for the last three years
I take pictures all the time. People make you paranoid! I’ve taken pictures to prove I’m using fireboard / thermal board etc if they aren’t going to see it before it’s skimmed. Just in case it comes up. I take pictures to show the carpets clean etc

people can be nice as pie when you’re doing the work and turn into a crazy w**k*r when it’s time to pay

You could just leave strips unskimmed so that they can see what board you've used
 
Building Control and HETAs like to see photo's for sign-offs. The PIA is downloading and sorting them out into the right jobs. I try to keep on top of it now regularly.
If you don't then it just looks like you've saved it from another job - leads to arguments about dates on photo's etc (Taxman likes to see those too for some strange reason???)

When they knock on the door to seize the phone and take the metadata from the pics give it 3 mins in the microwave hehehehe
 
Update - the weirdo messaged me out of no where today saying it's all done and took 5 hours.. I mean none of the angles are straight and he's buried what were once sockets but I'm pleased for him.

I thought it best to just ignore him, I'm sure he'll give me and update again in a few months anyway.

Is it just me or are those internals wandering a bit?
