Back in the 4th floor flat again today, one of the jobs was to fit a bath
panel.

Lady had the bath installed 2 years ago by an installer suggested by MFI
(where she ordered the bath).

Panel was 2" too short. Not surprising as the bath 'feet' were on 2"

thick
timbers.

Conversation with the lady revealed that the installer had promised

several
times to return & fit the panel.

Turned out that the tiles above the bath were already in place & the
installer had raised the bath by 2" so it met the tiles, obviously not
considering the size of the bath panel.

The mind boggles.

Since the tiles were already in place it was hardly the previous guys fault
ie he had to raise the bath on 2" noggins to bring it level with the tiles.
Who knows what the excuse was about the panel being short and lets face it
certainly wouldn't have been left undone if the woman had the bill to pay
when the job was completed?
