In our village we have a group of friends and within the group, one of them is a carpenter. He is always complaining that locals don't give him work and prefer to buy "ready-made" stuff, so I decided that I was going to get another bun to bond with Buzz and would have something specially made and painted for them by him to give him some work.
He is making me a 6ftx2ftx2ft hutch with a 6ftx6ft run underneath. When we first discussed it, he said "how much can you afford?" and I said max £300. He agreed that £300 would be fine (verbally :? )
Anyway, I get an email from him yesterday saying he's nowhere near finished it and has only made the frame and a bit of the hutch part and has spent 9 hours on it already. I said I could stretch to £350 if he was going to have trouble completing it in time and he hasn't replied.
First of all, if you commissioned someone to make you a hutch/run combo, would you expect it to cost £350? And do you think he's ripping me off?
