That looks like a complete nightmare. Nobody is managing the clients expectations.

TV, books, CDs all stacked up in recesses before the decoration is done or the skirts fitted. Kitchen completely filled before that's even finished. Sofa and furniture on the tiles before it's grouted. I'm all up for accommodating the client when they are trying to live in the property whilst the works are going on but that's taking it too far.

If I had quoted for that job and that is what I was faced with I would have had a word with them by now.

Sorry sir/madam I know you want everybody out of the house so you can get back on with your life but the fact is you're only extending it but slowing us down.

It's been a mare!
Got an entire bathroom suite piled in the hallway now. Massive fridge freezer that is apparently going on ebay (put it on ebay then and get rid ffs)
Kitchen fitter's held up 'cos he spends 1/2 his time emptying cupboards, fridges etc... only to have to put it all back later. Though it's me suffering the most - God knows how I'm going to grout it all in one day. :mad2:
