I've got plumbers butt, does that count?
I agree with that leave my disney money alone. I am soon going to have to put new tires on my wife's truck and replace the clutch so there goes 2 grandYoure right, Im sorry Lone-Star....let me re-phrase that.....I hate anyone of any profession that costs me disney & cart money!!!!!
---wife a plumber here---
No one wants to be overcharged. ESPECIALLY by "so called" family You'd be surprised by how many times my husband gets hugged when he's fixed someones plumbing nightmare---broken water lines, flooded basements, or heaven forbid a well pump that died on a holiday weekend. Yup--thats where he's off to today.
It's much sweeter to get a bonus with the check then grumbles about the price.
And since this is the angry thread.....Here is my rant. Customers who want immediate service but takes months to pay off their bill
Im PISSED!!!!!! My BIL charged my DW $850 to change a bath tub and toilet....that was his Family price!!!!! And didnt even finish the job!!!! I hate plumbers....I swear, If I ever go to another family function with this moron, and just happen to change a radio station on the stereo...Im sending him a bill for my DJing services....and I make much more per hour than he does!!!
@#!$%^&*%&#(*&^&$@#!er
The $850 was for labor alone....Ive spent $2200 total so far. He didnt float the sheetrock he felt needed to be removed, didnt install the showerhead yet, didnt install the tub surround (pvc walls), didnt replace the floor tiles he removed,........Im just really pissed.....this is wrong. For $2200, I should be walking into a beautiful bathroom....right now it cant even be used.
probably 20 hrs....8 of them with his helper, if that isnt a bad price.....let me know, but it really seems high to me, especially since our wives are sisters and best friends..........$42.50 per hour......how much does a plumber average per hour on an average job? If I have no real reason to be angry, tell me...so I can cool off, because right now Im on the verge of creating some good ol'southern family feudin'!!!!
Yep! That sucks!!! My BIL (a lazy, redneck azz) charges his own mother whenever he does anything at her house,,,, materials & labor!! Then shortly there-after, MIL calls us to come and re-do everything the azz-hole did!!! I told DH that we live too far away now to drop everything, drive 1 1/2 hours just to clean up after his "stoopid" brother who got paid to do the job in the first place. No more!!
As an ex cabinet maker, and contractor, I can tell you, if I charged family for my time, I could have retired by now.... well retired with money LOL Charging family just ain't right in my opinion... In Rogs case, he should have charged enough to cover his laborer's wages, and nothing for his time.
Thanks! Curiosity question...since you babysit for free, is she also expecting you to take them for free or is she just being a stinker?
You've got that right!!! My DH & I have done loads for his mom (including a kitchen remodel with new cabinets & counters to the tune of about $3500) and always always always paid for most everything including the materials. That's just the way it's supposed to be!! We only asked his DM to keep our drink glasses full and to provide a sandwich here and there.Charging you mother is just wrong! What a doofus! She ought to back charge him for changing his diapers and washing his hiney!
I agree with on that like I said before I dont charge family.
