Last two days I've been fitting laminate flooring; bathroom, downstairs
cloak & kitchen. Key job, customer at work in London all day.

Started on the bathroom on Thursday, removed old wood effect laminate,
removed skirting, installed new tile effect laminate, replaced skirting.

Tricky fitting this tile effect stuff, you have to match up the 'grout'
lines & make sure they are parallel. Cutting around the toilet & wash
basin took a while to get spot on. Had to remove the door & architraves
to get the new floor down, then replace them.

I have to say I did a really good job, well pleased with it. Lovely cream
coloured tile effect.

Ripped out skirting in downstairs cloak, removed old wood effect laminate.

A good days work. Whilst sorting out the packs of laminate I suddenly
find several packs of grey slate tile effect laminate, which I assume is
for the kitchen - since they have grey worktops. First time I've heard
there are two colours involved.

Arrived this morning to find a note from punter "Sorry, forgot to tell
you, the grey stuff is for the bathroom & downstairs cloak, the cream is
for the kitchen".

I had to take the skirting off again, remove all the carefully laid
laminate & start again - at least I could use the boards laid yesterday as
templates.

To say I was a little miffed is an understatement :-(

******s. Most customers are not ******s (99.9%are fine). Having fitted a
load of ****e brass B&Q fittings the customer now says I have fitted the
wrong lights in each room. The rules were they left the light in the room
they wanted light fitting in.

Heh, I get that on an all too regular basis.

Also, somehow it's your fault that the light, that you said looked
like a bag of ****, actually does look like a bag of **** now it's up.
