I had a cxxx day too, turn up to strip discoloured granite steps.
No new granite so i'm left to drive 20 miles to get it( i'm charging for it).
Get the new stuff loaded into van, all bullnosed etc.
Get to job where my labourer had the steps stripped, we unload granite and prime steps.
Ate lunch, begin laying out and notice a rust mark on the main double bullnosed corner piece !!! oops.
Then another one, customer not happy and shop had no more !
I had to pull out at 12.30. another day up the left.
