    Never do business with family!

    SILs father. Done work for us before. Not the best but £50/day so I guess you get what you pay for.

    Did some painting for us. Made a COMPLETE mess of it. Paint everywhere, patches missed, sides of door missed. He was in hell of a rush just seemed to want to take the money and run. Looks like a pissed up chimpanzee has done it.

    Someone else I would have played **** and demanded a refunded but since hes sort of family I can't. Mind you I currently would like to slap the conning little twat because he knows what hes done.

    Got pro in now (£85/day well good) but its a few £100 to sort - wish I'd done this in the first place.

    Never again.

          Given your usual rate why not change career so you can finally charge someone £85 a day!

              But I'm sure that won't stop him starting a thread asking if he should let SIL's father do more painting for him
              When freedom comes along, don't PISH in the water supply.....

                As long as I get updates on how the painting is going, I'm happy.

                  Demanding a refund from family may be a no-no but asking for it to be fixed is OK.

                    WHS. Work with the guy, after all he is the family.
                    If UKIP are the answer, then it must have been a very stupid question.
