I do kitchen stuff for a living. It's OK most of the time. I've been working on a kitchen where most everything hasn't gone according to plan. It's taken a lot of extra time and therefore has turned what should have been a profitable job into the other kind.
Anyway, today we are just about finished, and it's all looking good at last. I'm talking to the owner and am just about to ask for the final payment. As I do this I am leaning on the worktop we have just finished installing and as I do so I can feel a dent in the leading edge. B*ll*cks. There must have been a void behind the laminate and it's simply caved in. No choice but to replace it. Wouldn't be so bad if it didn't mean having to order (and pay for) another worktop, and spend several hours cutting a male butt and scribed joint in each end, plus the sink cut out, plus the mileage etc etc.

Just starting to feel a bit better about it now, but there are times when I wish I didn't have to do worktops
