dongc:
Too many front and backs with no real solution....long epistles with little or no input...
Who knows the borehole guy ??..I will personally put up the balance to get him finish the work if that is the case.

Twinskenny?

Please experts in the house. What advantage(s) does the first door have over the second? I'm planning to use one of them as the main door of a three bedroom flat.

You noticed it too

Amazing piece of art. Makes we just want to rip up my existing stainless steel baluster only installed (in haste, I must add) a couple of years ago.

If I do do so, does anyone know if there is a second-hand market for stainless steel handrails? Thanks.

Good morning, success-minded people.

Please I have some questions about handrails. Some gave me a quotation and said he will collect 40k per meter. The least he gave me was 30k per meter.

Is the handrail as expensive as that?

What do you suggest I do?

Please, how do they sell the handrail.

Also, I need a glass demacator in my bathroom, how much does it cost? It is just a single line that will demacate the shower from the wc.

I will appreciate your reply asap.

Thanks!

It MAY not be a good idea to put up the balance to finish the work. This MAY be a classical artisan trap.

Twinskenny said that the contractor said they should be paid the balance arguably to fix a piece of broken equipment to complete the work. Why can't they fix the equipment with the advance payment or from reserve (saved) funds?. This fit be artisan story. The client also said that the contractor demobilized from the site as a result of a broken piece of equipment. This fit be another artisan story.

One of the golden rules of the trade is: if you paid an artisan more than 90% of the fee charged and they come back for the 5% balance BEFORE they can complete the job, alarm bells should start ringing. This is a symptom (sign) of under-quoting. At this stage, the project is already frustrated. Throwing in more money without proper investigation as to the circumstances for the further demand may just be throwing good more after bad.

The dynamics of the borehole trade is this:
Borehole drillers (just like oil prospectors) have CAPACITY. So a borehole driller may have a capacity (for example) to drill up to 2meters, or 3mtrs or 100mtrs as the case may be. If you engaged a borehole driller with a capacity (for example) of 5 meters and they drilled at your site to their maximum capacity of 5 meters without hitting water, story don start. Na their way. This is because they quote blindly for jobs without a geological survey to determine the depth of the aquifer at the site. They just assume. Clients also just blindly believe.

So the client and twinskenny should first get hold of the contractor (they said they are in hiding), sit them down to properly investigate the circumstances surrounding their demobilizing from site BEFORE further payment if satisfied that the issue is truly a broken piece of equipment and not a case of under-quoting. They need to establish what equipment was broken, how much to fix it (what if it needs way more than the balance to fix it?). They should be careful not to fall into this trap. Story plenty with artisans. Engage all artisans with your eyes wide open.

I feel you and I get it...I am not blind to the facts ... I just want to end long epistles with no meaningful solution...

twinskenny:
thank you sir I really appreciate you and every other person that have contributed so far, the body language of the guy has already given him away.. even if we sent him the 50k he won’t still do it cause that won’t be enough for him to hire a new machine or pay the people that he will hire… the mistake has been made by allowing him to move his equipment out of the site…. I believe we will sort it hopeful before next weekend.

Too much
