Younger folk & DIY mentality
Another example.
We're fashioning a kitchen at work. Gave my eldest son (recently turned 30) the tools and basic instruction necessary to make a hole for a sink. Much ****ing about later there's a sink in the worktop, on the wonk slightly, too close to the back so that the worktop can't quite reach the wall unless we severely *******ise the rear of the base unit. But it will certainly do. Positively I suggested that he had learned some pitfalls and gotchas so that if he was to fit a sink again it would be easier and he'd do a better job. His retort was that he'd learned that if he needed to fit a sink again and wanted a better job doing he'd get someone in. And i'm pretty sure he was serious! Keeps folk in work I suppose. |
