Yes, I have taken it too far at times, that's when I shut up for a week then I start up kind of in reverse.....for instance, I hate the red mat that the dog keeps peeing on with or without the pee I still hate it, cos I don't like red. He didn't give two hoots about me not liking red, he wanted a red rug. The other day I just casually say.....you know if you put a nice silver/taupe rug on the floor the artwork would blend in much nicer, so he says ...yeah, we'll put the one upstairs down here and get a new one for up there that doesn't shed so much I have only been trying to get him to do this for the past 2 months so in this case I had to leave it for several weeks, but knew eventually I would win patience my friend is the answer Re: How can I balance this 44Aug 17, 2009 2:40 pm I think you may be right. . . we have had some 'discussions' in the past regarding the colour of the caesarstone benchtops. . . he wanted white, I wanted the minky brown colour. . . PROBLEM. . . I've just decided that I now want white and he wants the minky brown colour! AAAARRRGGGGGHHHHHH! I work with owner, he/she is my man on the ground and I instruct them when to visit the site and take photos and I have other tools in the bag. 4 15284 |
