Almighty cock-up averted in fitting kitchen!!!
30. Mar 2011 at 20:35
 
Nearly finished fitting a brand new kitchen to our modest little abode. Whilst wifey measures the worktop I get ready preping the jig-saw, goggles etc. 5 mins later after wife measured & drawed the line where I was to cut, I commenced cutting. Just after I had finished cutting I heard wifey say the immortal words "Jay, I think you cut the wrong end"  Angry Angry Angry
Me!!! I cut the wrong end!!!!! Angry Angry Angry Who flipping measured it in the first place & told me to cut it???? Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Nah, my first mistake was lettin her measure it in the first bloomin place!!!  Grin Grin Grin
By some absolute fluke the piece that was cut fits perfectly into the breakfast bar area that I've created. To be honest I couldn't have measured it more accurately. (not tellin her that though Thumbs Up!

Once cut a hole for a round sink, sink fitted perfectly, about 0.5mm all the way round.  Cool

Sink went straight to the bottom of the cupboard. Doh. Roll Eyes
