Extra? - 11/19/01 04:58 AM
I had hung a Kichler brand chandelier in the foyer of the house I'm trimming out, found a note from the home-owner:
"Please remove this fixture, it is the wrong one and we'll return it to the store for the right one"...
I've bid waaaaay too low on this job months ago (verbal contract), and this job just "won't go away". It took 1.5 hours to decipher the instuctions, fit the pieces together (including a complete dismantle of one section to tap threads that were apparently missed on the assembly line) and hang the "luminaire", and another 1/2 hour to remove, disassemble and package said luminaire... Including wrenching my back (again) when the final screw finally let go...
Should I (can I) charge this as an extra in some way? How much? Set price or hourly?
What would you do?
