Turned up to work this morning at 8:30 as agreed, nobody in!
Called and said they'd be 10 minutes.
Half an hour later they turned up!
Go inside (this is the second attempt at this job)
After initial viewing and quoting told the guy the boarding was horrendous and needed rectifying either by me or himself.
Told him it would actually be cheaper for him to let me do it but he wanted to do it.
Anyway left him with the price and told him that the 3-4" gaps needed to be sorted with slithers of board.
Asked him who did the other skimming work because they wanted shooting never seen anything like it.
Anyways back to today
Gets in to the job eventually.
My God I don't know whether to laugh or cry
Screws stood an inch or so proud velix Windows incorrectly finished the boards aren't even in the grooves and there's gaps all the way around!!
Oh yeah and its a mix of normal boards and moisture boards which it wasn't when I looked!!
Pitched roof side boards are and inch short
And all the other gaps that were there before have been filled with multi finish.
There's tools and furniture all over the place.
I don't know if this guy's taking the piss but I'm ready to sack it off.
I've only ever walked off a job once in 12 years and don't like doing it but this more than likely will be the second.
I can foresee all the problems now before I start.
I need to take a little bit of responsibility as I took the guy on his word it would be sorted and I shouldn't have quoted but this is a joke beyond belief
