After having spent the last couple of weeks getting everything ready for moving our kitchen into our living room, and having fitted all the base units in a mad rush to be ready in time for the 'joiner' to come and fit our worktops, I was devastated to come home from work this evening and see the job that he's done.
Amongst the mistakes I've noticed so far are a really poor mitre, a massively uneven overhang on the breakfast bar making it difficult to open the handleless draw and reducing the overhang on the seating side, a chipped edge and not only is the sink the wrong way around (he convinced my Mrs to do it that way as 'there won't be enough room above the dishwasher for the draining board") but the draining board is now beneath a plug socket and the cut out is in the wrong place for the sink to fit in the 600 base unit and the adjoining unit has been notched inside, even that doesn't give enough clearance to slide the worktop over far enough to cover the awful gap at the end.
I'm gutted, the situation is made worse by the fact the guy isn't just someone we called up but someone we're likely to see often.
Just needed to vent my anger at this. Mrs is gutted too as she thought work was fine and actually overpaid.
