Fun Talmud Hypo (From Are Country IRL) - Prole Goy Damaged Entryway
Poast new message in this thread
Date: April 18th, 2024 12:08 PM Author: Duck-like primrose boiling water we had some flooring replaced, and hired a demo company with a big machine to do the demo of the tile. in getting their big machine into our house, they cracked the front row of tiles on our entryway.
demo company was super proactive and nice about it, and owner without me even asking apologized and told me they'd make it right. owner told me that there's no way to match those tiles and they'll have to give me me an entirely new entryway.
owner told me to go to the flooring store and pick out tiles we want and he'd install it, and he'd pay for something in the normal range of tiles but if we wanted something fancy we could pay the difference. owner said to hold off on paying the $1000 bill for the demo, and we'll settle up everything at the end once the repair is done.
wife and i went to the flooring store, and decided we wanted to do mini bricks on the entryway, which are $12/SF. normal tiles equivalent to what we had seemed to be ~$3/SF.
i went with the owner to the flooring store and we figured out how much material we needed (bricks, "thinset" [still dont know wtf that is these goy terms mean], grout, "sealant" [ibid.]). i paid for the materials on my card.
owner has been really nice about it, but did note that it's a lot more labor to install the bricks than tiles. the install job has been taking a ton of labor time, and his guy doing the install is really, really good and it's going to turn out great.
question is how much do i owe the owner, under talmud law and prole goy fairness law?
i think i owe him $1000 less ~3/SF * the size of our entryway less the what thinset/grout would have cost to do this kind of job with tile (i have no idea how much that is).
i think a prole goy fairness answer would be to be happy we got a brand new entryway that looks awesome and just be happy covering ALL the materials myself with no deductions, and pay him the original $1000. |

Date: April 18th, 2024 1:27 PM Author: flesh fear-inspiring jewess mediation you owe him $1,000 + whatever the cost of additional labor for installing the faggy bricks instead of prole tile is - $3/sq ft (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5519051&forum_id=2#47592958) |

Date: April 18th, 2024 1:35 PM Author: Duck-like primrose boiling water we can't be responsible for the additional labor bc he didnt say we would be, and relied on the labor being covered.
he even acknowledged that nobody would want crappy tile and all the women want faggy bricks now |

Date: April 18th, 2024 1:45 PM Author: Duck-like primrose boiling water that we used his guy for the labor shows he's agreed to cover the labor.
if the labor was on us and the materials are on us less $3/SF, why would we use his guy for labor? |

Date: April 18th, 2024 1:48 PM Author: flesh fear-inspiring jewess mediation idk youre letting him do it, he didnt hold a gun to your head. you agreed that "if you want something fancy youll pay the difference", that means difference in material and labor to any reasonable person (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5519051&forum_id=2#47592999) |

he clearly meant pay the difference in materials. at best, he meant materials. at worst, he didn't contemplate the possibility of a different material resulting in a significantly higher labor cost.
and if he didn't contemplate that, once i informed him that i wanted the "faggy bricks" and he realize the labor cost would be significantly higher, his failure to say that he'd expect me to cover more of the labor -- and my reliance on his silence -- results in an agreement that he's coverign the increased labor. |

|
Date: April 18th, 2024 1:56 PM Author: Duck-like primrose boiling water that's why i said in ARE country, the way to go might me be just paying the $1000 bill, i cover the materials costs myself (that i've already paid for), and he covers the labor (that he's already paid for) -- no deductions or credits. any deductions and credits is very tel aviv, and your suggesting that i get a $3/SF credit for the tile but pay extra for some increased marginal labor cost is VERY tel aviv.

Date: April 18th, 2024 1:56 PM Author: Alcoholic orchestra pit He contemplated that. He gave you the option for "good" and you chose best, which you agreed to pay the difference for. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5519051&forum_id=2#47593025) |

Date: April 18th, 2024 1:58 PM Author: Duck-like primrose boiling water i agreed to pay the difference in materials for best.
there couldn't have possibly been a meeting of the minds for me to pay the difference in the labor for best. i obviously didn't expect to pay the difference in labor, and at worst he didn't even contemplate it. |

Date: April 18th, 2024 2:02 PM Author: Alcoholic orchestra pit You seem dumb. You're getting the whole package of materials and labor. Why would you expect to only pay the difference in materials and not labor? Did you expect to install the new flooring yourself?

Date: April 18th, 2024 2:14 PM Author: Duck-like primrose boiling water no, i'd never hire a jew to do blue collar work. i've got estimates from israelis before -- i know to run the fuck away. i'd never trust a single one of them. they don't even hide that they're gonna rip you off. it's amazing the goyim ever hire them.

Date: April 18th, 2024 2:27 PM Author: glittery at-the-ready house I did not. There was a great standard warranty. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5519051&forum_id=2#47593134) |
|
Date: April 18th, 2024 2:00 PM Author: glittery at-the-ready house Agreed. If it is much more labor intensive why would DBG expect him to do it for free? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5519051&forum_id=2#47593040) |

Date: April 18th, 2024 2:04 PM Author: Duck-like primrose boiling water because 1) he agreed to cover the additional labor, and 2) it's his responsibility to make me whole and nobody would want shitty tile anymore. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5519051&forum_id=2#47593061) |

Date: April 18th, 2024 2:09 PM Author: glittery at-the-ready house I would see what he even asks for. If he asks for $1000 or $1100 then just pay him that. Don't mess with the stupid deductions. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5519051&forum_id=2#47593086) |
|
Date: April 18th, 2024 2:15 PM Author: Duck-like primrose boiling water i don't think he's gonna ask for MORE than $100. i bet he'll just ask for $1000 minus $3/SF. i could ask for a deduction for the other materials too, but maybe i wont if he's nice about it.
