Hi Doreen I have found that it is best to pay people for work already done instead of giving upfront payment before the work is done. For example with my builder I tell him what work I want done for the week. Once that work is done I pay for it. There are too many horror stories of people absconding with funds without doing the work. The way I see it I have to work before getting paid so my workmen have to do the same, simple.
@SuperNitenurse most of them don't accept and if you agree to pay aday they can do quarter job and expect payment at the end of the day leading to more expenses
@@DoreenLukwago Hi Doreen I don’t mean day work I mean measurements. Example we agree on the cost to finish a wall when the wall is done payment is made if half the wall is done then half the payment is made. I feel that workers need the work as much as I need the work done so they are not doing me a favor it’s business. If one won’t accept surely there are others.
I’m so happy with the progress, Doreen! It’s terrible that the original contractor disappeared before completing the work you had agreed on. My old pa also got conned by a plumber…he had payed him the full amount and the plumber disappeared…what’s even worse is that he was a family friend…😳
Wow, your room is coming alive 😀Congrats on your progress. I have always been curious, why is your house so close to the neighbour's latrine? Hope the smell doesn't bother you?
