| 1289749 | 2012-07-21 09:44:00 | When I was an Appliance Serviceman, I hated going into houses with no one there. It just felt creepy. I wonder if they will do a show from the tradesmen point of view, it is eye opening at times what you see. And that is not just the "ladies of the house" in varies states of undress.:eek: |

Be home but at least give them the space to do the job I have walked off a job too when this women tried to tell me how to do the job when she didn't have a clue herself but had talked to everone in town. From memory they got through seven painters on that job. Actually I find I usually get far more work done when no one is at home as there are no distractions. |

We often have clients come in to pass jobs on the press, which is fine. But won't start running the job untill their leave. Their always seem to want to stand where I do. | plod (107) | ||

So if a tradesperson (or even your "friends") steals anything from you then too bad, you won't be able to make a claim for the loss. Another reason to stay at home if you can. | FoxyMX (5) | ||
