After Forty-Nine years in the Furniture business, and having worked for the past Thirty-Two years as Self-employed it's now time for me to soon take on board the prospect of relaxing and not having to get up early and carry a heavy polishing box all over Town. Together with having to deal with Customers that wish to find any excuse not to pay for my hard-earned work.
You can read about me as I say, “My difficult customers” if you look at my Blog you will find it somewhere amongst the posts.
Also, I don't understand why do clients expect me and I'm sure other skilled people to have to wait weeks for payment, recently I waited Eleven weeks for payment, this is bad especially as the cost of living is so expensive, do they not think that I have bills to pay.
As for those who go out of their way to hide behind mobile telephone numbers and operate out of PO Box addresses so as to make it harder to trace them, well over the years I've had them all. If this happens to you, never be afraid to go to Court once you have tracked them down; try to get justice for your labours.
Too many workmen and women don't bother because of the expense and time consuming involved and not doing so only encourage them to get away with it.
I shall wish to continue to just work on a, very selective few items as this method has worked for me, and to help scan for tricksters.
French polishing has been a great career for me, however; it hasn't been as financially rewarding as I had hoped well I guess we can't have it all. I love the work even though it is very tough especially if you have to work on Church doors in the rain because they are too heavy to come off.
My work has been very varied as you can see from the pictures that I have posted.
Well, enough said, I shall add more information as and when I complete a project, please keep visiting my site to keep updated with my exploits.
Thanking you all for your loyal readership, and especially those of you that follow me.
Regards,
Andrew.
