Afternoon people, just using this site to vent off!
I've skimmed a loft conversion that was boarded out by the customer to save money, I recommended that the boards be staggered as that's common practice, I also said that screws should be used and that the heads should not be sticking out and keep the gaps small.
Get there yesterday to starting skimming, spent 2 hours putting screws in properly and extra screws, replace some boards as they were not done properly, no staggered joints and about 50% of the boards had a massive bounce. Explained all this to him said that skimming on bouncy walls will crack. He was happy for me to skim. After another hour of bonding up to give a nice straight line to skim to, started skimming. Went back today just to finish of a wall and the customer was moaning about the bounce in the walls and some cracks that have appeared with the bounce. I Explained that the price was just for skimming not reboarding. The customer said it should have been done so with that I politely packed up and left the job. I might get paid
Is it me or are people just getting worse.
Thanks for the vent
