Having windows fitted today, the quote we got for 5 large windows and have gone with is a good price but i said at the time the fitting is nearly as expensive as buying the windows. Its dp's friend fitting them and he gave us the spiel saying well theres only 2 of us doing it etc. dp said it was fine, i was more sceptical as id got a few other quotes who all said it would only take a day, these said 2 days (hence costing us more in fitting) wasnt the cheapest quote we got but dp wanted to give his mate some work, thinking he'd do a good job.
i now know why they quoted 2 days, 9am they arrived - were meant to be here at 8. took out 2 windows, had half hour break sitting in van, took out other 2 windows, rang to see where new frames where, would be an hour so had hours break and sat in van with lunch and papers, put all 4 frames in, half an hours break currently reading the paper in van again, all they have to do is put the glass in and repair the plaster they have knocked off.
tomorrow will probably be exactly the same but with 1 window instead of 5 to justify the 2 days work we have to pay for. im actually fuming that a mate would take the piss - hes an old school friend of dps i hardly know him, but still he knows were struggling, im 8 months pregnant, and just feel like hes blatantly taking the piss! aibu to say something. i hate being taken advantage of, and now i have extra hormones to use up on someone too
