I wouldn't care so much , but this guy makes a killing ! I appreciate your feedback ( I think , lol ) !
Then he will know your work stinks and call someone else. :thumbsup:Put a fish head down the wall.
. Well , it's not for free , but it might as well be , lol ! The deal was , I take my time , don't kill myself , because he was doing all the finish work . I was ok with that , until his wife ( my cousin ) got involved and decided she needed to have her son in law ( GC ) finish the job because her husband was dragging his feet . I literally went as far as I could a year ago , now he's being a little indignant because I can't drop what in doing to go there immediately , lol ? It may end badly , because I really don't like him , and he's about to learn that ! I'll help anyone , anytime , but don't take advantage of me . That's about where I am now .sbrn33 said:Just blow him off as long as you can. I tell them that I will do my paying jobs first. As long as I have paying customers I will not be there for free. If he doesn't like that give him a price to finish.
Go to his fridge, dump out his margerine onto a plate, defecate into the empty container and put the margerine back into it... it wont smell until you see it.Then he will know your work stinks and call someone else. :thumbsup:
You really have an off centered type of humor chewy...:laughing:Go to his fridge, dump out his margerine onto a plate, defecate into the empty container and put the margerine back into it... it wont smell until you see it.
he owns and runs a very successful auto repair shop , lives in a small mansion , just built a 30' x 60' pole barn ( which I wired ) , owns several boats , has a backyard to kill for ! I get no deals if I take my vehicles to him for repair either .Shock-Therapy said:Figure a way to bend him over a barrel with his skills at your place and I bet he will quit calling.
Then why were you such a sucker?I get no deals if I take my vehicles to him for repair either .
