peter richards Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 howdens matt, the fitter that gave me a quote to get the kitchen from there told me he could get 50% off for me , sounded good but when we went to view the kitchens got talking to the girl that works there and opened my own account as im a sole trader with my business and got 70% discount + the sale started yesterday , so should save at least 30% off the fitters price st thomas school just fell down , council are looking for brick layers who cant read a tape measure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 just a quick update. decided to cut the worktop this afternoon and measured the gap its going in, then measured again. marked it on the worktop then got some masking tape and put that where the worktop was gona be cut (apparently it stops the top from splintering). when the tape was in place i measured and marked on the tape this time. cut it no probs. went to put it in place and holy shizzle it was too small!!!! when measuring i had the tape upside down so instead of me cutting at 2910mm i cut it at 2610mm (it had been a long day!). bearing in mind ive worked with measuring tapes for 11 years i was a bit embarrassed for myself:D but not to worry as the 2610mm cut will now be used as a breakfast bar the other side of the kitchen which i was planning on doing in the first place but decided against it as i didnt want the cost of another worktop which now looks like il have anyway:D so after that episode i have decided to get someone in to fit the kitchen as i dont wanna be ruining anymore worktops let alone everything else Lesson learned, me thinks!! It's a horrible feeling when you cut something too small. I love the way people try to fit it again in the hope that the piece had got bigger....... H.
