So How Was Your Day?

[John Benton]

Not a good 2 days. Started off great for the first hour yeasterday, tiles removed almost wall by wall (tubbed addy on emulsion paint) and thought we were on for a bonus, recent new build hmmmm....

Find out the customer had all their stuff delivered on Friday from Porcelanosa and they have then disappeared off to Greece for a week. The stuff is not what we discussed they were having. We now have to build a stud wall out losing 160mm to accommodate the frame on a 1.8m long wall. The wall hung vanity unit has drawers that fully open so they hit the towel rail. The rail in turn has to moved to another wall. So me and plumber rip up all the floor to move rad pipes to new location, as we measure out the shower trays new location because of the new stud wall the waste falls directly on top of the heating pipes that run through the bathroom, and so it goes on. One thing has just had a knock on effect on the next stage, whilst the customer is sunning themselves and knocking back the ouzo......

The text messages have been flying backwards and forwards, the last one with her saying "I'm sure you'll make it looks nice"

Met builder at job this am about en suite door stuck with screed. He was telling me door is worth £1700 so cutting bottom in situ not an option and he couldn't figure out how else we were going to open. I took off facings and skirting blocks, used my fien saw to cut all fixings holding door set to framing and eased out entire door and frame in one! Right enough screed up about 30mm onto door! Builder and client happy, well they will be until they get my pull a numpty out of the brown stuff bill
