I have a kitchen being fitted, and he is doing it wrong in the most petty, pathetic ways possible. Example: We have a coffee machine that needs a certain level of clearance around it to keep it clean and refill it. He built a space, fucked up the measurement because he forgot to add in the depth of the worksurface underneath, put in a way too big cabinet above, and made the gap for the machine too small. The coffee machine fits, but can't be refilled or cleaned without pulling it out. I tell him to switch the cabinet for the smaller kind or remove it entirely.

I come home today, and he's threaded an extension cord underneath the unit, plugged the coffee machine in via a hole drilled in the unit's floor and the worksurface which was NOT the plan, and left it there like a "fuck you, it fits".

I told him to put a shelf between the microwave and oven (big, built in things). The prat puts a shelf ON TOP of the microwave and the microwave on top of the oven, which us showing signs of strain already.

Then he asks for the next £5k payment. He can wait until that cabinet is down, and the microwave and oven are fixed, or he can send me the final, itemised bill and fuck off.

Dude, fuck's sake, FIRE this guy! Who knows what other shite he's doing, on purpose or out of sheer lack of proficiency? He could be seriously putting your house at risk.

I really, really would, but unfortunately I'm not the only one in the house and that's not a decision I can unilaterally make. He would have been gone day 2 if I had my way.

Thank you :)

Luckily, it turns out the rest of the builders on the project are appalled and will be having a word, and while it grieves me to have to rely on a man there's a massive part of me that's just relieved.
