Most of you know that no matter what you undertake, you’ll step back afterwards and think “I could have done that better”. I always look back at a job and figure out how it could have been faster, cheaper, neater, etc. That said, every so often we’ll do a job that is perfect from start to finish. Where I can step back, admire the work and be content that NOBODY (and I mean NOBODY) could have done it better!
Last week we started a simple, straighforward job of dividing a room, 10 metres across and installing a single 32 inch door in the middle of it. From the very start we were on fire, the stud partition and door frame was completed by 3pm on day one, it was slabbed and skimmed on day 2, second fix carpentry on day 3 and days 4 & 5 were spent FULLY redorating both of the new rooms.
The last brush stroke was applied at 4pm on Friday and we finish hoovering and washing floors at 5.30pm! On saturday morning I went back to see the finished work and with an objective eye I just knew that it really was the perfect job!
PS. 99.5% perfect, I forgot to photograph it!
