Home Repairs & Construction

I called George to see about having some pavers cut. He was a nice guy and said he had a wet saw. Couldn’t give me an estimate so I thought it probably wouldn’t be too much.
He came and got me and my 7 pavers from the Toyota dealership since they were replacing the recalled airbags. That was nice. He made seven cuts. Six were with 2 inch thick 12 in square pavers. One was a 4x8 inch pavers he cut in half.
I asked how much. He said $45. Ok. I had no idea it would be so much as I only paid $0.90 to purchase each of these pavers. I know that has NOTHING to do with his charge. But when I went to pay him, I only had a $50 bill. He only had $4 in change. So he says,”You should be paying me a $4 tip for coming to get you and carrying these. But a $1 tip isn’t too much for what I’ve done. Oooookay.
He’d complained he was waiting around for me. I messaged him last night that it would at least an hour & a 1/2 at Carter’s. I thought he only came to get me so he could get on with whatever else he needed to do.
Never again. I will get an estimate. Live and learn.
