Stavross 13,782 Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 105 stepping stones across the grass to the pond and a armillary sundial in the middle, I’m glad I got to do this for the old dears because someone else had quoted almost 2 weeks and 1400 quid to do it, I quoted 2 days and I’m still making good money from it, it fu*ks me off that some people think that because they have a few quid it’s ok to try and mug as much out of them as you can 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel cain 42,901 Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 Got asked if I'd cut a hole in a garage wall and fit a uPVC door for someone just moved into a house we built....I said I'd do it for £250 cash hrs work....found out the cheapest quote he had was £500 had a load of calls about fencing jobs but just too busy to go take a look a minute..tons of work out there 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stavross 13,782 Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 There’s loads of work, I’ve just been and priced a patio, put a quote in for what I thought was a bit to much, she said yes there and then, turns out I was 1200 quid cheaper than the next quote, not sure when I’m going to fit it in Quote Link to post Share on other sites
