Mark,
The customer does not value the garden . Period.
He was checking how you value yourself + your business in the email.
Unfortunately there are customers who need to be reminded how you need to be treated.
If he was not happy with the first invoice then re-invoice him with the actual cost of the job. He's a smart guy let him work it out.
Good luck getting payment. Then keep on walking.
Did a days work for a well-off bloke once who said and I quote " Its amazing what you can do with slaves + whips and chains. Just FKN Wow!
Tomorrow is a new day to a wise man.
RIP Australia manufacturing. Sad day for Australia today. Sad day for future generations. Are you reading this Joe Hockey?
What was he supposed to do travel back in time and convince Ford not to close,if labor were willing to let Ford close why blame the LNP when the others follow,it was a well known fact that if one of the 3 closed the others would soon follow unless the Government was willing to throw billions at these companies to try and keep them
Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you

Nlalm seems to be how the richies roll. Some don't know how good they have it. Betcha it felt good sticking to your guns.
Just about to start a lawn this morning and phone rings. Answer it and woman says..I need my lawns cut. I say ...Ok what suburb are you in.... she tells me it and it is one about 30k away probably about 50 min in traffic and one I dont service. Sorry but I dont service your area.... I says. Silence for a bit.....when can you start... she says. What....says I. When can you start... she says again. I dont service your area... I say again but louder.....Oh...how much will it be...she says. I take the phone of my ear and look at it quzzically thinking ..Why me. Look luv I dont work in your area ok...says I. Can you come today...she says. What part of I do not work in your area do you not understand... says I. But I need it cut she says. OK I think well if we are doing this lets make it worth while. Then I say....I will need to have a look at it to quote you a price. There is a $80 quote charge and the barest minimum price I would be looking for the job would be $150 plus the quote charge. Silence. Then ...to dear.... Oh really what type price were you thinking then. ...says I. I can pay $25 ...says she. I laugh and ...say good luck with that... and hang up to her going...wait...wait

Get a message on phone for a nature strip next to 2 clients my brother does.
We get back to him a couple days later leaving a text saying $10 when we do the others. Leave bin out etc etc .
Get a voice message back from Pete the plumber saying he though $5 would be the right price and he will either do it or try to find the other guy??
Fancy expecting one to do a job for $5 even if your working next door and a Plumber at that. Like the people who tell you its a little job that hubby take 20 minutes and gives you a price. When its a 1.5hr job and the price will be 3 times that Luv.
I did a rare quote for a caller on Thursday for a large joint on a cnr, into the quote he says I'm sacking the current guys for non/slow attendance and then whilst in the rear yard he tells me he sacked the guy before that being a Jim's after an incident.(With a grin on his face)
I thought, I don't want this due to the mega amount of grass pick up required and this guy thinks his better. Quoted super high price and walked away very quickly, put phone number in my contacts to ensure if there was a return call not to answer
Cheers Garry
Can you imagine a plumber charging $5 for anything..........hope he finds the other guy
IKEA flat packs make me f**king grumpy......
