Just enough?

[IvegotsTILE]

Went to do a splashback in the middle of no-where today,I'd already been there to do the quote and was looking forward to a nice easy job.
I'd told the lady she'd need about 4 boxes of tiles and two lengths of trim when I did the quote,got there and there was only 3 boxes and 1 length of trim

I told her that we'd be a bit short of both and she started to She said that it'll take a week to get the tiles in and that she had a big party at the weekend and that she desperately wanted it to look great.
I told her to sit down and I'll be mother,get you a cuppa and you'll be right as rain.I said after counting where each tile would go there was a possibility that if I didn't break ONE tile or cut ONE short and I could use NEARLY ALL of the waste cuts then there might be EXACTLY enough.

I MANAGED IT,I MANAGED IT PRAISE BE TO JESUS!EXACTLY THE RIGHT AMOUNT AND BARELY ANY WASTAGE WHATSOEVER.

Come to put the last few bits of trim on and I'm 30cm short (BIT LIKE RAJA)NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !

I wasn't going to be beaten,this lady will have her kitchen!I cleared out my entire car an t here at the bottom was a single piece of white trim,it looked a bit short(also like Raja)I daren't measure it,or dare I?

34CM COOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!

Job done,looked amazing(no surprize,obviously)got a descent tip for a and even got a

So ends another adventure in the life of Simon,saviour of splashbacks!

WARNING:This will only happen once every 5 years,normally you will be just 2 tiles short and theres nothing you can do about it.
