An early finish today and an unexpected day off tomorrow sometimes other peoples incompetence pays off

Beers on me

Lucky bugger !
I wish I had working days like that, other peoples incompetance usually mean more work for me so I'll take a beer off ya !

Usually does for me too but this time they've screwed up the delivery dates so I'm stuck with no trusses until Monday now. Enjoy the beer

So how much for cheap as chips replacement French doors then? ;)

I don't do cheap, Geoff

How longs a piece of string? Depends on everything from size, internal / external, quality of the doors, ironmongery, hardwood / softwood etc.

Ill measure up external cheap!!!

Like most things, you get what you pay for. Although price is never a guarantee of quality either. I get people phoning me all the time and they want me to boj something up cheaply because they don't want to pay out for the correct fix. I won't do it anymore. It's not worth the hassle for me or the customer.
I've also been told by a few that I'm too expensive. Joe bloggs down the road can do it for half that etc etc. I tell people I charge a fair price for a good job. I ask them why they assume I'm in the wrong for quoting a higher price and maybe they should consider that their mates mate that will do it for a fraction of the price maybe cutting corners and using inferior materials in order to keep the price low. I took the decision some time ago that I would develop my business as a premium service. Using only high quality materials and products. I wanted it to be hassle free for the client. So far it's working well. I very rarely get a call back to say there is a problem with something. I get a lot of calls from previous customers wanting more work and a lot of new customers saying I've been recommended by previous customers.

Anyway I'm waffling now. Who's getting excited over TRUSSES!?!?

Sounds like a bloody good work ethic to me ! Why do a half arsed job that you know wont last ? I would not do it on my bike or car and I simply would not do it for anyone else.
There may be a little dissapiontment to find out you were talking about roof trusses rather than the other sort of trusses that may smell of wee

Let's have a look at some of your craft then, I do like a nice bit of carpentry of an evening.

Edit.. Actually, never mind, I've just clicked on your link and had a nose through your gallery, nice!

Whaddya mean he's a wooden too?


Never thought I'd get to use that again many a winters eve spent contemplating its loss from the language
