I did the job the lady asked if I'd be clean because the last plasterer we had left a right mess......thinking now this customer has OCD I did the job sorted all the extra problems that her have a go husband made gave a very reasonble price she text me with a picture saying I'm disappointed I told you how I wanted eveything clean...I cleaned that place! she sent this pic it showed a little bit of plaster on a couple of the tiles on the floor feeling p****d off.

went to a job yesterday, price to fix some cornice they had bought, but the fellas brother keeps letting them down so they want me to fix it...
Told them id need the sofa, tv and cabinets out the room. As i need to scaff around the perimeter. "ill slide them in the middle of the room" he tells me,
i need to set up a workbench to cut the cornice in the middle i told him.
Bah ill stick a ladder on the patio balcony, you can cut on that outside. :rolleyes)
No way was all the stuff fitting in the middle of the room. and allowing me to move about whilst swiging a 10ft length of cornice.
Turns out i was to expensive for them.:RpS_lol:

I want to see the picture she sent you :RpS_crying:
Build base 1 not bad , push a soft broom through the middle of it as you roll out.
Easy to use. Stays down but comes up easily when you're ready. I use t whenever im working upstairs. Cant be arsed putting dust sheets down every morning and lifting them every night. Plus you dont catch your foot on it and have to keep putting it back
but most Importantly the customer isnt going to catch their foot on it and go flying down the stairs It stays Down till im done and leaves it spotless. Probably cost about £2-3 to do those stairs.

Did a landing and staircase for a young couple once, they were a right picky pair. We had to finish scraping paper off the wall as they couldn't reach (and not quoted for it) they moaned about a scab mark on the wall after we'd left. When I back to see what was up they couldn't find it as there wasn't one.. There were loads of hand prints all over where they'd rubbed every wall within an inch looking for anything to hold back our money. Oh aye, forgot to say just as we were about to go they came up with the inevitable 'can you send an invoice...'

Curious, I should make this my sig - not a plasterer yet - is this "send me an invoice" thing about basically getting out of paying for a fortnight?
I should make a thread, worst non payers and what you've done?
Nice cheers. Bookmarked/
