Default Double wall sockets... grrrrrrrr.....

Man I hate double wall sockets.

Been doing a splashback today, 4 sockets, with 3 of them doublers, 10x10 tiles, eight to 10 bloody cuts per socket.
Feels like all I've been doing is cutting round them sockets all day today.

Wireless power, yeah that's what we need to invent, wireless power to rid ourselves of kitchen wall sockets, lol

Vent over

Did similar the other week - then customer (tooooo much money) came back from holiday and "didn't like the overall effect(?)" - had to rip the lot off and re-do different shade!! Nearly bit hole in my tongue.

Hey you've done it now - get out and have a bevvy!
