So a customer calls me....
Customer: "We have this desk at the office, it's Oak or something, do you think you could cut 2" off the legs?"
Me: Shorten some desk legs, yeah, should be possible....
Customer: Yeah the desk is kind of too high for the person using it, a couple of inches off the legs should solve the problem.
Me: "Do you have a picture?"
Customer: Sure do, sending them now....
Me: ........
I've expressed my reluctance to butcher this fine looking desk, and I've taken a meeting tomorrow, going to have a look, at least it is close by.
Other solutions.... like a cushion, or a taller chair?
Could be a customer worth a bit of work, so I'll have to be diplomatic, but in the end if they will pay me and they want it done..... I feel dirty already.... LOL
Yikes!
