<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pickin and Grinin, post: 8132806, member: 73995&quot;]Trust, no doubt becomes the factor, I am a small time Carpenter.</p><p>When a customer writes me a check, and says get started <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I cash the sucker. Not tomorrow, or next week, immediately. Work doesn&#039;t happen for the new customer until there is an assurance of funds to pay for the materials and labor. Sure, when you are a repeat customer I bill ya, but I refuse to finance other peoples lavish lifestyle.</p><p><br /></p><p>Time and Materials are a different situation, but those are only on a word of mouth basis, from a repeat customer or the elderly.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is what gets me in this whole exchange, When a customer gives me money, they expect a job completed in a timely manner. Not when I can get to it, What happens if when &quot;I can get to it&quot; is 6 months down the road? My customer would want their money back until I am ready to start.</p><p><br /></p><p>If it is a 45 day service, it should be a 45 day service, unless the customer changes the agreement.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
