I agree with pretty much all points above , he will never be satisfied with price or job done no matter how cheap or good it is , nothing will ever be just right for this chap.
With regard to £30 an hour , true its not quite right , its fine but just not there is it , it is however the lowest i like to go , the way i see it is i will be in one place for 5 hours tops and getting £150 .
Or i could be on my usual 12 basic 3 bedders at £12 a pop and get much the same , with the added grief of moving , chatting .
On Tuesday i did a retirement complex , 5 hours for £220 .....£44 per hour , but its not like that all the time is it ?
I am looking at this new job as a little break from the norm , im not chasing it , but if it comes then i get a day in the country
I think you'd be mad to do that job.
But for what reason , whats sooo wrong ?
Because you will feel like an idiot dragging out a two hour job to 5 hours to keep him happy.
Why would i feel like an idiot , its no hardship to me to take it easy on that job , i said before that i would probably give it more time anyway due to my health needs to slow down , the only way i can get bitten on the butt by this job is to spend the time dragging it out to appease the man and it still be not good enough ! (High possibility to be fair).
But im willing to try it out , i have met his type many times , give them what they want and you never know what will transpire , why am i being so accomadating you may ask ?
Well put simply , this is more than just a house , its way more , its 70 acres of land that is rapidly being converted , old barns , even yurt villages , whatever they are , i just hope they have windows !!!
Truth is i like to do a good job , and to this day i can honestly say that i have only lost work due to binning them or them moving or dying on me
