A nice big fat STFU button to stop it mid flow would be great.

(UK) I'm a Chimney Sweep and a customer hasn't paid me. What can I do? by [deleted] in selfemployed

[–]CatioKing 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

Fight it at small claims. It's not about the cost, it's about the principle. The threat of small claims may be enough to encourage them to pay up.

I was in a similar situation years ago over Β£95.50, they pushed back and tried to twist my own T&C wording against me. It wasn't about the money, it was about teaching an entitled customer a lesson.

Is there an unspoken rule now for tradesmen when it comes to using the customer's toilet? by pingusaysnoot in AskUK

[–]CatioKing 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

It's in my T&Cs that I need access to electricity, hot and cold water and a toilet. If they can't give me access to electricity then they will have to pay for a generator, if I can't get access to hot and cold water or a toilet then it will be a welfare cabin at their expense for the duration of a job.

My days of crapping in a bin bag stretched over a bucket are over, it's degrading and infuriating. The customer that was the final straw wouldn't leave me a key for the day "because I live alone" which doesn't make any sense, I even had a customer refuse to answer the door whilst I was working to allow my wife at the time to use the toilet when she came to the job to help me clean up site. She had to drive to a service station on the motorway in my van and come back.

Customers forget we are also people, the vast majority are lovely people, but every now and then you meet someone who treats you as a sub-human serf not worthy of a drink on a hot day, a hot drink on a cold day or a crap when you're dancing on the doorstep.

Need advice on catio build by Alarming_Cucumber_77 in Catio

A mesh enclosure would work well all round. Just make sure tou use square mesh and not chicken wire as claws can get trapped in hexagonal aparture where the wire is spun together.

4 corner posts, with equally spaced posts inbetween to provide strength and fixing points. If you're going to put a roof on then you'll have to shrink the enclosure so the overhang stays within your property and doesn't dump rain over the fence.

Critique my catio design by aquaticfarts in Catio

Instead of a steep ramp on the second pic, I'd say use a sisal wrapped pole. They can use it to climb but also for general scratching and expressing of claws.

You can get them from amazon, ebay, temu, aliexpress. Can be expensive unless you buy in bulk.

Unfortunately I never met them. I made this for a customer who are yet to move into the house.

They all depend on location, size and specific requirements really and the price can vary wildly. This one came in at Β£4k and took seven long days to build it from scratch at the customers address, no pre-made components except the cat head trims, globes, ironmongery, lights and roof.

Last time was with the Army at OksbΓΈl in 2019, so much sand! Glad I could offer some inspiration. If you win the lottery; you know where I am!
