Well he's primarily a bathroom fitter/general plumber. Bloody good job he didn't do the central heating!!

Just spoke to customer again; he's agreed to pay me £4k now so all is well for now.
Haven't forgotten about that bellend plumber though! 🙂

When the job is done 100%. My terms, not his. I'm fine with it, he'll pay up.
To be quite honest the fact that he's happy to pay the rest is a good sign, I wouldn't and don't think anybody should ask for 100% before the job is complete.
What I think is a lot of the time customers are very wary and sometimes quite rightly so and all it takes is 1 muppet who thinks they know better but actually knows sweet FA to put a doubt in their mind, by the looks of things this has been dealt with the customers mind has been put at ease and the other bloke looks like a fool, so don't play into his hands and turn yourself into the muppet.

He was in the plumbers arms when the unfortunate accident happened officer. He couldn't possibly have been wielding a baseball bat down a dark alley...

Call out from a pay phone kick his teeth out and snap his fingers one at a time using 17mm ring spanner
That's very specific ermi

My thoughts exactly. Like using a slightly different spanner would be letting him off the hook somehow! ?

Just got a Facebook message from the chippie on the job (funnily enough the only other decent tradesman on the job, got on with him well!). Says the 'plumber' and the 'builder' (who is also a massive bellend, by the way, and also works for the customers company....) have been slagging me off all day saying my work is bad. Obviously it doesn't matter too much now as customer is clearly satisfied, but still.
The reason i've asked for this 4k is that I believe there is a very real risk of my work being sabotaged in that property by either of these 2 men. At least if that happens I have all my materials covered. That's my thinking.
