• You don't have enough time to stay on top of everything

    A lot of this - we're still working through the snagging and even with what I think have been excellent team I am seeing things which are slightly off and which if I'd spent the time going over at the time would probably have been easily remedied. But that would have meant taking time out of work or with my family so not really worth it.

    I also think that speaking as a not particularly practical/DIY person I want to walk through the options and try to understand things from first principles, so that we get it right first time and understand the tradeoffs we might need to make. Which is how I'd do things in work. It isn't quite as easy as that with trades from my experience but when it has been possible I've found the results are better for both parties.

  • Ready to cry with frustration. Was just starting to feel like the home stretch of new kitchen, and worktop fitters have just wiped a layer of paint off a drawer front whilst cleaning the edges of new worktops. I know it’s not the biggest problem in the world to resolve, but along with other like/work/not having a kitchen stresses it’s just tipped the scale for me. Annoyingly I signed off when they left earlier as all happy, as it wasn’t really visible, it’s only become (very) obvious with the light change.

    edit not a direct reply - but tangential to the conversation either way I suppose.
