    my worst day was grouting an Indian restaurant floor, two painters, one sparky, one joiner, one fitting bar pumps, two fitting window signs, two fitting wall mirrors, two fitting bench seats on tiles I only laid three hours earlier and half of Calcutta getting ready for the grand opening, that night!
