    It's annoying when you prepare to fit something and you end up with something totally different.
    At least it's only a little bit of patch work no harm done. Cracking work as always.

      Thanks for the support as always mate, I was annoyed with myself on this job to be honest, In hindsight I probably rushed the first fix and wasn't as careful as I should have been, I was late getting in as all the walls had already been boarded so the whole job was a bit of a struggle, the hard work is done now though

    That's my Friday evening started properly again, thanks Tom. I got flat faced bent isolators from Screwfix a couple of weeks ago, might be worth checking if you need them again. The flooring guys love if when you leave the pan out for them, always gets a smile.
