ive had my fair share of them here too.
last yr one called in, he did a shed locally and i had looked at it and to be fair it was well done.
but thats one of the tricks, do the first one well, leave for a while til the word goes round and then return with a different paint:whistling:.
neways, deal done, worker landed to wash sheds, spent 1/2 day washing one side of the slatted shed, boss man landed and they washed the rest of the shed's in the other half of the day:001_rolleyes:.
i wasnt happy with result next morn so i got him back to do it right, deal was 100% job or no money.
he sprayed sheds one day i was away, when i landed back everything was sprayed, inc walls and skylights.
they run out of brown paint on the last shed and mixed black n green together, not exactly good at colour matching either...:whistling:.
it was brown, and looked fairly ok but i wasnt happy with the overall job so i cut him in his money, he wouldnt answer the phone nor call to see me, instead he sent his worker to collect, he went home with half of the money and a warning not to be cummin lookin for the rest.
4 mths later and the sun changed the vandyke brown to coco brown, its damn near black really.
sooo, another one landed 6 mths ago,
he says, i see ya got a bad paint job done,
thats right says i.
ill spray it right for you he says.
i said id like to see the paint,
no bother he says, its the best of the best, comes out of harland and wolf:001_rolleyes:
opens trailer, lid off the barrel and sure enuf its the same feckin paint the last man used...
says i, ill tell you what, do one shed for me, ill pay you with a dated cheque for 60 days now, if its ok by then you cash away, if the paint isnt right ill cancel the cheque.
he says no bother at all, he was promising the sun moon and stars re the paint and the workmanship so seemed willing enuf to put his money where his mouth was.
he says ill start right now, but i need to go into town to get petrol for the sprayer.
havnt seen him since....
only way to paint sheds imo is to do it yourself.
