I remember the time I bid a job based on the customer clearing EVERYTHING out of the room.
When I showed up they had not moved a single thing. I walked out.
They actually chased me down and oddly enough it was the woman that understood my reasoning.
"Who is going to pay for the glass coffee table if I drop a hammer on it?" I asked. The husband said I was.
"THAT'S why I wanted the room clear. To keep your property undamaged. You said you wanted to save money and do it yourself and you didn't. I'm not taking responsibility for damages." I replied.
The wife spoke up and told me to take the day off and come back the next day.
When I got there the entire place was empty...MUCH to her credit.
I don't know what happened while I was gone.
Still, a deal is a deal, If you accept the terms you have to live up to your part of the bargain.
Later on I ran into her downtown and we chatted. She turned out to be one of those few women that men instinctively like.
