Re: Wiring install. How Much ?

[ian@xxxxxxx]

Hi Keith

When I origonally spoke to them I asked if I could have access to the=20
site just to get the cables in but they said not. There is no way I=20
will pay that amount just to have the cables put in. I'll speak to=20
them tommorrow to see what (If any) options I have. I'll also ask=20
them to break down the cost so I can see what they want to try and=20
charge me for. Not sure what pressure I can put on them as swmbo must=20
have the house ! What do you think a fair price would be just for=20
cable install ?

Ian

PS If they give in and let me have site access I'll have to search=20
the archives to see what bribes to use, I seem to remember a mention=20
of cheesy chips !, but I am rather new to the group !
