Is that *before* or *after* the concrete has set? g

Thankfully, before.
Last look round the site, to see if there was anything else I needed to
do.

I assume your mixer now needs a new flex.

Lol. Well done!

My last mistake was designing a piece of wood to go where there was
already another bit, and no neither could be removed or omitted. Quite
tame.

When you've cut out a particularly intricate piece of lining paper
to go around an obstruction, apply paste to the correct side.

Or when you've designed and etched a printed circuit board with the IC
pins the wrong way round, so that you have to bend all the pins the
other way up.

Or years ago, built a ZX81 on the wrong side of the pcb !!

Actually the thing that gets me is the recursive installation problem.

I need to install the tiles to put in the basin to establish the vanity
unit height in order to be able to accurately cut the piece of MDF that
sits behind the basin covering the pipes and which has to go in before
the tiles are laid...

Ah,,thats like the classic mistake in model aircraft construction..two
left wings...

My last mistake was in not realising that on a mains pressurised water
system, although turning the mains off stops the water...flushing a
toilet and allowing the ball valve to open will result in a loss of
vaccuum and scalding hot water gushing out of the hot water pipe you
have just cut off to add a new bit onto..until the tank drains down a
bit too..

I always put a name on the original art work so it's obvious if you've
forgotten to flip at any stage in the process.

Could you not have fitted the IC on the track side?

Write 'PASTE' in big letters on the appropriate side :-)
Likewise mark the scrap side when you're marking a cut in sheet material
so you don't forget which side of the line you're supposed to be cutting
to.

Or when you carefully cut a tile to fix around an awkward part of the
sink discover you've cut it from the wrong side.

Or...in the days before they invented 'Tile edging strip '; set up your
circular-
saw bench with a stone cutting disc, mitre ALL of your external corner
tiles so as to provide a neat edge. THEN realise you have mitred for an
internal corner not an external one. AND ...since they were all cut to
size they were no use for anywhere else....Whoops

Easily done. And it's always the last one you have. ;-(

Thats easy. Cut the flex and leave it for 'time team 3000' and fit new flex.

After accidentally vacuuming up a vital and unique screw, do not put
it in your holed shorts pocket after carefully going through the
dustbag in the garden.

Then having found the screw after ages spent on hands and knees in the
dirt, remember to put a new bag in the vacuum ready for use next time.

Also when throwing out the old bag and not replacing it with a new
one, remember to retain the bag holder for when it's needed a few
weeks later....

cheers,
Pete.
