Great finished job Adam, you should be super proud. On the worktop problem, I totally agree with you. Signing off the template, you are not signing for the accuracy of fit! Had the templating/survey been carried out using a digital scan, then you would have never known! Great video..

It's looking great mate 👍 I would have put the "urn" at the back of the cupboard. You could still install a removable shelf above it and even on the waste side - they're handy to store small things.

Absolutely fab, issues are all relative to the owner/user. I can live with the groove issue because I probably like the randomness versus geometric precision. Agree with the gap issue, firms do themselves harm in the customer service element when they want to brush things aside. We all make mistakes it’s how companies deal with these things that make them the best versus worst. Love the spray work and again and again your attention to detail is mind blowing. Our good news is we’ve sold our house and bought our bungalow but we’ve been here before so for the next 4 months it will be nail biting time and your work I can only dream of aspiring to. The floor is great I’m just doing similar in my lads salon basement in Brum and we’ve had 2 coats of DPC prior to the latex covering. And the company dealing with the floor is one of those we will sort it don’t worry outfits versus the sort 😂that suck air through their teeth and don’t come back. Hopefully finished next weekend 100 metres square. At my age so much going on. I wish you will be well sorted for Christmas. All the best to all of you. Mike 😜👍🏻

The house is looking great. The LVT floor really does suit the space. You definitely need to get the worktop 'specialist' to rectify their mistakes. Personally, I wouldn't have gone with sharp corners on the island. It won't be fun if anyone walks into them.

Nicely timed video. I've got the same doors in pre primed white so great to see your take on spraying them. With regards to your runs in paint you could sand the runs with wet and dry paper then just roller the paint over the effected area. The best roller to use which gives an almost flat finish similar to spray is the 'rota concave mini roller' they're grey and less than a tenner for a pack.

My worktop was measured by a guy with a LASER and it was still 100mm out(!) The fact they had to resupply that piece of quartz again, then fucked the grooves up... Id have sent that back mate :)

I would absolutely have sent the sink bit back because I wouldn't ever get used to seeing misaligned groove edges (I spotted it well before you mentioned it in the video) -- definitely a first world problem, but a first world problem every. single. time it comes into view? For that money? No way. But then, I wouldn't have the grooves at all because I'd rather have the countertop be more flexible with use rather than force that part to always be a drainer, so I guess it wouldn't stop me ordering!

can't remember who did our countertops but they looks almost the same and they fitted perfectly because the chap came out with one of them nasa space measuring gadgets from the future of sci-fi however, like you, we had a small issue in that one of the smaller panels was cut the wrong size not an issue at all though as it's made a nice cutting board now

Im with you on the drainer grooves. They just aren’t grooovey, are they? I don't think you're being picky. I think you should be able to run a straight edge along the ends of the grooves. It would look right then. Having said that, your worktops look amazing. So does the rest of the kitchen.

Kitchen is looking mint Adam and I agree, customer service is the key to a successful business. No matter how big or small the issue maybe. Just look at how Apple operate. My Mac is 6 years old and I still get free technical help from them. The thing that would have won you over as a walking advert for them, would have been them owning the mistake. Mistakes happen! Many moons ago I paid 1.2k for an oak wardrobe from M&S, they delivered the wrong colour and after literally calling me a fibber. 4 months later and after they sent the correct colour, but the wrong size… I received the correct item and after refunds and compensation, I paid little more the. £200.

You're correct though, he was hopeful you were someone he could walk over with bullshit. The amount of fking about in trying to save the piece would've been more costly anyway. Its a 20mm square edge job in quartz, not a bookmatched 40mm+ marble job with slabs that are $10k each. Template bloke should of had +7mm on the back edge corner and 0mm on the opposite corner. Its all on the template guy because the sawyer cant start randomly guessing shit and the fabricators would've put templates on the pieces to check before loading it on a frame to go out.
