quick run down, mini extention, 12ft by 8, tack dab and skim and patch up in kitchen.
Priced a job up, 3 days work. worked out time scale with retired chap, I can do it on the tuesday, friday and finish on the monday.
All is agreed, so i turn up on the tuesday. No windows have been fitted, 2 walls with windows, back end double door with side windows, I told them numerous times i cannot start untill windows are in.. I was promised all would be done. I said i can start the ceiling and go from there , he says no, the building inspector has to see it first and his coming this morning.. Cutting short, windows turned up at midday, building inspector came mid morning, I leave at 5 to 4 that day and they are still fitting back door, all i got done was ceiling tacked, the 2 side window reviels set along with reviels set for walk through from existing building done, nothing else i could have done.. Went in friday and completed dabbing and prepared for skimming, said i would come in saturday morning as have now been told that they have to screed the floor on the sunday.. Not my problem , they should have told me that before, anyway, skimmed ceiling and reviels and left. Got a phone call from his irate wife demanding i come back and finish the job today (Sat), then half hour later the man rings and says if i dont finish the job today he wants me off the job !! 2 hours after that a text message comes through from someone i know who is doing the plumbing work saying "heads up mate his got all your kit out the house and dumped it on the driveway.. This is only saturday (today) just been round and picked up my kit !
Old dude better pay up else its off to court we go
Anyone else have any problems like this over the time ?
