Client: We love the old sleeper steps you built us, but have environmental concerns about the creosote in them. Can you take them out and replace them with new sleepers.
Landscaper: By law the creosote was applied no later than June 2003, they represent no risk. I can replace them if you REALLY want, but new are far less robust and you'll be paying for the same job twice.
Client: That's fine.
Well, that's six days of my life and that of my labourers utterly wasted, but at least we all get paid twice....
