Hi All,
no question but just want to share my story.
I have just been told by my painter costing me twice as much than what was initially quoted.
He is my good friend's friend husband. His initial quote was $360/day for 2 people.After working 5 days he told me the total cost is $3300 which was way beyond the initial quote.
I will always get everything in writing regardless who recommends or how well you know the person.
yep ! my sisters husband ' found ' a bunch of receipts in his pocket a few months after i had sold the flat he painted for me . i thought i had already paid him most generously ,one i was really pissed off that my sister lives in poverty cos her husband wont take care of details .and two they got really upset when i suggested that a proper business wouldnt pay till the lawyers letter arrived .
and yes even though it was a nice job i could have taken a week off and done it myself and had a couple of grand left !
my new motto is " no good deed goes unpunished !"
