I'm NOT complaining about what I'm being charged.
I'm complaining about struggling to engage a "professional" to do the work in the first place, and then them taking my money and doing nothing.
Very, VERY, frustrating.

Taking your money for doing nothing? What sort of crap is that? When I get tradespersons to do work for me, i.e. servicing my ZX, if I see nothing has been done, I sure arn't going to hand over my hard erned money! I've never been paid for doing nothing in my life, but have done plenty of jobs where I get paid nothing due to being fucked around. I have to admit that 99% of the time it's the Mt Eden or Parnell type that normaly rip me off. BTW, what do you do for a crust?Originally Posted by Jim2

I'm starting to do swap work thing with other tradesmen now.
They get work done on their vehicles here, and I get stuff done from them, plumbing, building etc..........and no money, paperwork changes hands.
Its working out good.

That wasn't aimed at you Jim,but the thread has wandered a bit.
We have had a very bad plumber in our area....well,we think he might be no good,but he never turns up so we aren't too sure.But we have found a good one now - they turn up when they say they do,and the guy not only repairs,but problem solves as he goes...almost a lost art.When he raised the hot water pressure ,it overflowed the vent pipe...so he made a new pipe to extend it higher,then showed my wife where the Neefa valve was and how to adjust it.Put in a water filter as an extra job,fixed the no hot water in the laundry tub,it had 2 one way valves in the line that no one else saw - and he only came to fix the shower.We'll have him back!

I couldn't get anyone to do the job without paying a 50% deposit.

Shit, I'm sorry that happened to you. I've never taken a cent before the work is completed, unless I state a progress payment after parts of the job are done. But thats usualy wiring new houses or large industrial or comercial jobs.

However plumbers are at the top of my hit list...

the cunts who have been working on my house are just that.. useless cunts.
They lay a hardwood floor and it doesnt meet the kick boards and is bowed in the middle, i complain and they say... thats Normal! Well fuck me its normal im gonna keep back payment then we'll see whats fukin normal.
The cabinetry maker then tells me its normal, i tell him i disagree and he has the balls to ask what i do for a living. After telling him nothing.. he says well there you go.. you should listen to us tradesmen! if he'd done teh job the first time round he wouldnt have been back at the house having this fukin conversation!
fukin uselss, piss poor finishing and attitude that John Lydon would be proud of. Still.. i'm not gonna pay the fuckers till they fix it
still.. want paradise? comes at a cost i 'spose

They turned up today and started work. Replacement stuff looks very high quality.
They did say they'd be here last Monday week ago though.
