Some people, EH? I've had several rows for refusing to put other peoples c$*p work right,
I try and keep away from problems and silly people.
I see you have a very nice drill/driver with you! I love mine.

I started up on my own 11 years ago because of stuff like that, all be it furniture based.
I remember a guy making a corner cabinet, should have been a left hand blank/void, he made it a right. I told him he was wrong, the drawings showed he was wrong but he couldn't be pineappled to redo it, so he wrapped it up and shipped it to surrey, next day it was returned by the fitters................. you just can't reason with some people. Lazy arseeed shizters
 
That is terrible, it's surprising how many people wouldn't even question that though.

And look at the gunk on the piece in the background lol.

Agreed.

"Professional" merely means you're paid. "Skilled" and "craftsman" are rather more.

They keep getting away with it because people keep paying them who obviously don't know any better or who give as little sh.. as the fitter they've employed.

Then other potential customers complain when a skilled worker quotes more money and usually more time for a similar task.

Having said that, that is a p... poor job and no mistake - and I can't stand how decorators caulk always seems to be applied in the same manner a 5yr old ices a muffin cake. I'ts water soluble people.... at least smooth it off!
