    The exact same way they talk to me!! They treat me with respect they get respect in return! Treat me like a 'see you next tuesday' and they know about it!!

    I find that some respect goes a long way. Depends on their personality though, and if you like them or not.

    I absolutely HATE micro managers!! If you want me to do a job, brief me up on what needs doing and give me a timeline. I will tell you if this is a realistic timeline or not. Once agreed leave me the hell alone. Checking in every 5 minutes does not make anything go quicker, in fact it actually has an adverse affect in that it slows me down!!

    Good on you for telling those two nonce's to back off!!

    500 mtrs of cable arrived yesterday...... a week late !! Had faheem remembered the key?? Of course not!!
    Cables now pulled in..... 2 office ring mains, 2 lighting circuits, and kitchen circuits. Trunking still to mount... around 50 mtrs.

    How long you reckon it took me?

    If you do your job well there should be no need for anyone to give you abuse. You should always endevour to speak to everyone in a professional manner and with the correct level of respect. Hopefully it will be reciprocated. If that fails then they don't deserve your precious time.
    Live, love, learn but most of all.... Plan.

    As ever...... the layout of the flats i'm doing are in a safe place........ wadjids head !!

    No plans, no spec.....he even asked me where to put the staircase ??

    The roof line is going to be raised.... possibly, maybe not. The kitchen is going on the left rear......... possibly the front right

    The heating will be electric..... or maybe gas !! The front door will be at the front....... or maybe the back??

    See what i'm up against ??

    Put the staircase in place of the front door, electric heater out the back door, gas heater under the staircase, back door to the side of the property, and get him to sign it
