Very frustrating when knuckleheads undo your corrective work

You already fixed it once, had it working like a million bucks. Help the new owner learn that the only job worth paying for is the one you only have to pay for once.

On the other hand, publicly held buildings where there is someone "on hand" that knows enough can be the worst. Sometimes you want to tamper proof everything.

    It doesn't happen often

    But I just found out that a company that does gas service, fiddled with our corrections and knocked everything out of whack again. Had a BAD steam job a few years ago that we rescued.....a year later the house was sold and the dopes brother decided to try his hand at steam. I hate to charge people twice, but I can't go back for nothing either. AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! VentingMad Dog

    the same people?

    Is the same house, just different owners?

    Too bad you can't sit down with that service company and have a long talk....

    Frustrating to you only because you take pride in your work and in doing the job right.

    It's not your fault they screwed it up again. You didn't fail. CHARGE THEM.

    Hey Mad Dog!!!

    This is good. They will now see just how much more value they get from you than from the other clowns. Make them enjoy and collect!!!
