    A mouth full in my last post was replying to previous posts and mine lacked coherence.
    I stand by my work and will go back to attend my work which is yet to be done. I this context I meant to say I pride in my work and will attend to any come backs.

    Why aren't you getting paid Unfortunate to me though a lesson well learnt, I need to get quotations/contracts signed off prior to commencing work

    We all been through this, especially when we start out, we want to please our clients, but the old sharks, can smell your blood when you come through the door, and boy do they take advantage of you if you let them.

    An old timer told me many moons ago - The only times he was taken, was when he trusted them.

    So moral of the story, does not matter who or what they say they are, sign here with a deposit, and payment before I leave, else I am out of here.
    It will be cheaper for me to stay at home than take chance.

    Been there done that and got a number of T - shirts.

    Occasionally I still get taken, because my human nature is to trust people, but it is getting less and less now.

    David,
    This is an article for Plumbers but I am sure you can make a few changes to make it relevant for you. http://goo.gl/l0I0tK
