I fully agree. By me the client is never right. I am the one who still after decades studies and keeps up with the regs. I am the one taking responsibility for the client's safety and that of his family, pets and property. If he does not like what I say or charge, he can find a fool to bend to his will. I maintain that electricity is the worst kind of dog you can get, you cannot see, hear or smell it, but when it bites, you will have a funeral. I stopped advertising a long time ago, I have more work that I care for, I want to stop working but clients who have been with me for what seems like forever are hard to say now to. Being appreciated by clients is rare, but deliver good service and they will remember you and always come back with their friends and family.

Not relative
Yep. I bought a Nissan NV350 panel van in 2015 for R212000 from nissan with 12000 on the clock after working out of a nissan hardbody for a few years.
If I lose that van it's game over. I could NEVER afford a similar vehicle today not even in the ball park.
I took a gamble back then, put a deposit down and threw everything I earned at it to pay it off just before vehicle prices went crazy.
Recently took another gamble on a Suzuki E Eco - needed second vehicle because the km's on the Nissan were getting high, it's way cheaper on fuel and having my guys on site whilst driving around in a big mobile tool/material store wasn't working
It's not paying off. Can't really make it worth it paying off the cheapest van on the market.
Running cost in SA are to high to make it worth it.
Just came back from the UK - they claim it's tough times.
They also claim that 4 down lights, a pull cord switch and fitting an extractor fan in hole pre drilled by the builder is 500 pounds (R11500). Just connecting a cooker is R1400 - R1500 if local.
Full rewire that side 3 bed, 4 - 6 down lights per room, average 4 sockets per room quotes were between R120000 and R140000.
I'll just grab my passport...Comment
