How many drinking vouchers to core drill a tumble dryer exhaust
I have a team of builders currently on site demolishing a chimney and
doing some fairly major bathroom alterations. This is all formally priced up and contracted through the parent firm. Whist they are here I have thought it would be really handy if they could use the tools they already have been using for the main job in the bathroom alterations (ie a big core drill) to drill me a suitable hole for a tumble dryer exhaust. This is undoubtedly "out of scope" so I was hoping to offer one of them a few drinking vouchers to do a bit of overtime for me. If I have to DIY I will have to buy or hire kit or "chain drill" the hole. Can anybody suggest a sum that would be reasonable for this job as a "little extra" for someone who is already on site with all of the right kit? It is on the first floor so if it cant all be done from inside work will have to be done from a ladder. Thanks in advance for any pointers. -- Chris B (News) |

Seems to be about 30 to 45 minutes Beer vouchers to the value of 45 minutes of your time, plus a bit because they've got the gear. |

I think you need to make the deal "irresistible" not "equal" to the above cost of you doing it? Nothing wrong with starting a bit low in negotiations but you want a "done deal" with smiles all round, not a begrudged half arsed attempt... -- Jim K ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- http://usenet.sinaapp.com/ |

Mine is Victorian hand made bricks and 3 bricks thick and with almost round flint pebbles in. It took the guy who put in my vent for the wood burning stove about 3 hours and 2 core drills. It was incredibly difficult to get through because of the little pebbles jamming up the saw teeth and the bigger ones rotating in the matrix. -- Regards, Martin Brown |

Seems to be about 30 to 45 minutes I'd offer him 50 quid. In that i've drilled a fair number of these now and if I hadn't already got a set of cores i'd happily pay that to not have to do the job myself. But then I am a lazy snowflake. |

I think I might try asking "how much for cash after the rest have gone home". --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus |

It leaves a messy hole that needs tidying with mortar or a collar. Core drilling takes anything from moderately quick to forever. It's quicker than chain drilling though. NT |

This is undoubtedly "out of scope" so I was hoping to offer one of them a few drinking vouchers to do a bit of overtime for me. If I have to DIY I will have to buy or hire kit or "chain drill" the hole. Can anybody suggest a sum that would be reasonable for this job as a "little extra" for someone who is already on site with all of the right kit? It is on the first floor so if it cant all be done from inside work will have to be done from a ladder. Thanks in advance for any pointers. What size of hole? 110 shurely? In which case this would do the job. I know the arbour is extra but I would be temped. It does help having an SDS drill of course. Think I'd rather pay the cash that tit about up a ladder with one... even with a clutch! Personally I would ditch the tumble drier for a condensing one. Free heat and no messy hoses. Worth doing the sums... Not just the sums, but the convenience. They can be sited on landings and in bedrooms if kitchen space is an issue. Next to the washing machine would be my choice :-) Would you really want a tumble drier *and* a washing machine in your bedroom? ;) |

Can you not ask them to give you a price for cash (nudge nudge wink wink) when they are next having a brew? Based on what you are paying for your priced up job you will know whether it's good or not. Apparently, the taxman loses tax revenue of £5bn a year in cash in hand building work. That's the prostitutes not paying their taxes on hand jobs for builders. Nice. You've gone up in my estimation for that! |
