So just had a text - all that it said is "what is your day rate please?"

I replied to this unknown number asking who this is and depends what the job is,

He replied "plastering"

what a useful person this is!!
Just annoyed me so thought I'd share it with you all haha. Anybody else just get really helpful text with loads of information?

Just thinking of a reply to send him!
 
He's getting abit stroppy now. I've just asked him if he's a builder etc, he said a days work is a days work.

I have replied yes but if it was a day of ceilings then I would expect more than if it was a day of walls? Just how I charge as ceilings f**k me up. Anybody else do this?

is he being a prick or am I on my period??

He is being a prick tell him to piss off and bother somebody else
 
I've had it in my job people asking what do u charge a meter ..... well that depends on the tiles and the layout and the state of the walls
 
Ask him is the house clean and will there be brews and bacon butties and will his missus be giving blowjobs at lunchtime :bananahappy:
 
He just replied saying he charges the same day rate if he is bricklaying, tiling plasteringor ironing. And he's not after someone who prices maybe variable.

Just replied saying "goodbye"

You put it better then most !:hueco:
 
I've seen a tiling job done by a bricklayer it looked like he used a brick trowel to apply the adhesive and cut the tiles and trim and then also grouted with it my 2 &half year old works to a similar standard
 
Post his number we can all text him asking his day rate

Now that is a good idea, we could each text him on different days so there no let up!

I'm asking his day rate for ironing,
I hate ironing then I'll say right build me a house on the same rate!
