You can't get the customers these days.......
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 :-( -- Dave The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk 01634 717930 07850 597257 |
