Re: Hardest Part Of Managing Your Business?
Thanks for the low-down on how you would handle it.
The tub was set in place (drop-in whirlpool alcove) and the mud was being mixed for it's new bed. The HO walked by, stopped, backtracked and said..."oh... it's really white..." I said ".. Um, so is the toilet...see look-they match" HO: "yeah. I did say white didn't I...is it too late to... (you all know the rest)" I don't have anything in my contract about owners causing delays, but I will the next time this comes around. In the meantime I have a gorgeous super flippin white whirlpool tub that I am considering putting on Ebay. But I did get two call-backs today on estimates from late last week. Looks to be a good March thus far. Thank You Gentlemen |
