Oh, I know the pros can also screw up. (Boy do I know it! It's how I
came to remodel my kitchen myself, can't trust them to build a base
cabinet 34 inches wide because stock 36 inches won't fit, so the b*****d
built it 36 inches wide, "because it's standard" which left my very
expensive wood I had bought worthless to me! If a pro cannot get *one*
cabinet right, what would they do to an entire kitchen?!

I think my response to him would have been you did a fantastic job on the 36
inch cabinet, but as I ordered a 34 inch cabinet I need to know when it will
be ready?

If he tried to argue that 36 inches was a standard, then I would have said
but 34 inches is the standard I specified.

If he didn't buy more wood at his own expense and re-do the cabinet promptly
I would perhaps ask him if he had a preference of another cabinet maker that
would deliver the requested product as he will be the one asked to pay the
bill.

What was the final outcome of the dispute?
