Dorado Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I have a horror story for you then. I am a contractor. Most of my work is remodeling kitchens and bathrooms. I was contracted to remodel a dining room with alternating light and dark green stripes. I finished painting the room, and the wife loved it. She just had to show it off to her daughter, mother, and girlfriend. Each one of them had something to pick at. I came in the next day to finish up, but she wanted me to add a third smaller stripe to the others. It took me all day to finish, but she loved it. So, her daughter, mother, and girlfriend came in. Next day, the dark stripe wasn't dark enough. Fix it, daughter, mother, girlfriend came in. Next day, the light stripe needed to be a little wider. This went on for a week. I had to have painted that room 6 times. Finally I talked to the husband. Told him that I'm charging for each time I had to repaint that room. He told me "Do whatever you have to. Just keep her happy and off my back." I painted it again and finally they were all happy. I finished the job and gave her the bill. She couldn't understand how painting one small room could cost so much. In the end a little paint job that should have taken a couple of days and about $1000 to do, took a week and a half costing five times as much. Luckily the husband came in settled her down and explained it to her. Moral of this story: Keep other women out of the decision making process. It gets really expensive! Dorado PS: I don't suggest buying a round for the house til all's done and well. Have one on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
