as some of you know i started a job in ulverston cumbria last week but last night we pulled off the job. the job contained
1 room pebble mosaic( completed)
2nd room limestone (completed)
3rd room kitchen glass mosaic which was completed
4th room limestone in shower room(not completed)
and slate balcony (not completed)
myself and another member of this forum pete went to look at job and the builder said if we complete the work and grout the kitchen floor and seal then he would pay £3500 which we agreed the other tiling was previously done by a joiner who is his son in law. and we asked at the end of the week can we have some money which he was not to happy about he said he never asks for any money until a job is complete.
it came to the end of the week he said he would drop some money off which he didnt so we had to drive 20 minutes to his house to pick it up.
there were 2 bathrooms already completed by the joiner and we was told to grout and seal them he said include that in the extra cost which we didnt agree. the rooms that had been tiled already we polished limestone which hadnt been sealed before being laid and nearly every tile was stained we were told by the builder to get the floor spotless.
im going on holiday next tue so i had really 2 weeks on the job and it could have been completed however with all these extras and the lack of materials on site it didnt seem possible ( this builder said everything would
on site last night we counted the tiles and we were 7 m2 short and they were imported so i can imagine they would take a while to deliver after a long hard chat last night we decided to call it a day and come home.
its the first time i have had to leave a job but i will not work for people who take me for a mug and he was adamant that we would not part with a penny till the job was fully compelted including grouting the joiners work.
i took this job on for experienced it sounded like a nice job. im feeling abit down at the moment,
did i do the right thing i suppose with going away next week which he was aware of
