Customer thinks I’m ripping him off

[isk57]

Hi people
I’ve recently given a customer a quote for a board change on a 1970 property which needs 2 x 6way boards “small space “
And installing a 40mtr supply to the bottom of a garden for a hot tub which has to be clipped half way and underground for 10mtrs
So it’s 2 days Labour and materials
835 pound he’s moaned and said it’s far to expensive I think I’m about right , thoughts please

Energy field project? Sounds interesting....

but next time someone comes on here asking why they get a tingle off their bed, we now know the reason! ?

or a chinese made electric blanket. ( marked as CE and Double insulated of course).

Come on guys, there was the American chap with the earth mat in his bed that Lucian had a very in depth conversation with.

@Brian Taylor
Wonder how your getting on after reading this post?

hi guys & gals:

thanks for good humour and feedback... makes all the difference in these uncertain times...

@littlespark : anyone who has a lego TARDIS as their avatar gets my vote ? (but how many of us know what T.A.R.D.I.S stands for without googling)? ?

energy field research is "interesting" (honest)! once you get into it : without having studied tesla or eric dollard, though, you might find it an uphill struggle. tesla was an outstanding electrical engineer, dollard is an old RCA and navy electrician (who knew his onions). (I think he's still with us...)

knowing this forum well.. "in depth conversation" might be a tongue-in-cheek statement, nevertheless, if I told you guys earthing mats can be refined and integrated with earth's em field (that can then be harmonized) to produce "interesting brainwave activity", would you believe me? (probably not.. and you'd be right to question my findings. Just being able to detect ELF and human em fields is a technical challenge).

@casperLennon : yes, what happened to Brian? (lets hope he's doing ok and will keep in touch).

thanks for reading, NB

i could not envisage stopping at home daytime watching crap on the telly and vegetating.

That's the problem they got us to throw away our , untrendy
VHS copies and DVDs , put Carp on TV,
and sit back expecting to pay for Streaming services.

TARDIS - OK, I’ll bite. It’s something like Time And Relative Dimension In Space. Not sure if it’s that exactly and I know I’ll kick myself when someone corrects me.

you're correct there.

Nice that Tel signs off a post with a picture of himself....

Yes, Lego TARDIS with little Lego Daleks and weeping angels. I added the flashing light to the top. (Drilled a hole through a piece for the wire, shoot me now)

Sits on a shelf next to Lego flintstones house, a couple of ghostbusters cars and Wall-E

Obviously not as well as you think, Lucian does not have flippant conversations, and his in depth efforts are always appreciated.

That's brill. I love Lego. I think one hole in one bit of Lego is acceptable.

hi guys,

Apologies for thread going off topic, so I started a new one....

yeh.. although I wonder if there's certain systems available that process quotes (so hardworking tradespeople dont have to)? (i guess big companies use software systems of some kind)... some businesses are so well-established, a customer will pay for the product before it arrives. (brand confidence). ?

TARDIS is a time-machine and spacecraft that features a "chameleon circuit" and "perception filter", so people tend to ignore it (that would could in handy on some jobs I've been scuppered with..) ? It's bigger on the inside, since interior geometry occupies a different dimension (therefore has unlimited capacity): a bit like the old ford transit vans.... ?

@Mike Johnson : I'm kinda reassured. thank you. I've got one researcher onboard with my energy project (he's kinda in the business). My "issue" is building larger prototypes (materials involved are not typical) and acquiring appropriate detection equipment (super geeky stuff like EM Meters and Spectrum Analyzers). What I really need is a larger workshop (Dr Brown style)! O well, if it really "takes off", I'll let you guys know. ?

Big fan of the Ecto 1 (various hobbyists have built reproductions). Got a mate who bought one for her daughter... Lego version I think... Who you gonna call? ? Stay safe, and happy days...
