I think you may need to reduce your quotes a little to get work but you have still got to live. I would imagine the last quote will not finish the job and that client will pay twice.

You get what you pay for and they'll all pay in the end.

My prices are going up... ask me again in Feb!!

Recession... MY AR5E

You probably couldn't get the materials for that price. He'll pay for it all in the end and regret it forever more. Let's hope he doesn't start ****ging off all tradesmen on the back of this one.
