Lab 10,979 Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 I believe in giving jobs to people who can do it mate.....so you should have got your mate to price it. Shove a bit on it and let him do it all. If you get the job, your mates happy, your happy and the most important thing is the customer is happy... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
