My wife had not forgiven me for not specifying brushed chrome sockets and
switches in the kinchen when it was extended'

She even said she would accept some as a Xmas present - fine by me and I
would enjoy fitting them.

Not the case. They were a very tight fit into the back boxes - making final
alignment improssible without moving the back box. The boxes were flush to
the wall face.

The space for the wires was very restricted - especially where there was a
spur off the ring.

2 hours and 6 sockets later and I now need some polyfilla and paint.

I have not forgiven the electricial for not fitting deeper boxes.
