Perfection Beyond Perfection
When you hire someone, do not expect them to do more than you could. Never complain over trivial items. One party said they wanted their garden trimmed down to the ground, and then the next day, they said that they wanted it two inches above the ground. They complained to the party that had done the ridiculous work. The party that did the job said they would never work for them again. One party had tried to hire every carpenter in his town, and everyone got so flustered and upset with their demands that none of them would work for them. A man got estimates from everyone in his hometown, and then he decided he would not hire any of them because he thought they charged too much. Never be rude or unkind to people you want to lease or those that work for you, or they will never darken your doorstep again, and it will be your loss.
Painting
One party hired a painter and told him to scrap every little bit of the old paint off his house. That person then took an ink pen and circled places you could hardly see with an ink pen and complained that he did not do a good job scraping his house. Another party wanted a painter to use only one coat of paint, and then when he was done, he told him it did not look good, and he wanted another coat of paint on the house, or he would not pay him. The painter applied the second coat of paint, then told all of the other painters in town about that person, and the man could never get anyone to repaint his house. Be sensible and reasonable about what you complain about.
Lawn Mowing
A man hired his lawn to be mowed once a week at a certain height, which worked well until the dry spell. He had told the man about the dry spell, but he demanded he mows it once a week. When he returned home from his trip, his lawn was brown and almost dead. It was not the man’s fault that worked for him as he followed his instructions to a tee. When you make a mistake, the results are on you, not the party you hired.
Cement Work
Cement can only be cured at certain temperatures, and it takes so long to dry before you can build a house on its foundation. One woman did not want to wait long to have her home made, so she told the contractors her cement was cured and dried. They built the house on the foundation, and the foundation cracked in many places later on; she was mad at them. She had lied to them, and it was on her, not them. She had to lift the house and have a new foundation poured.
All Kinds Of Jobs
If you hire someone for a job and they do what you told them to, pay them and thank them for a well-done job. Never complain about trivial things or things that were your fault. Never be quick to find a spot with anyone, as we all try to do our best for others.
