Building a house as a novice I expect to make a few mistakes. Ive over-ordered door handles (having forgotten I already had them), the dimmable bulbs Ive ordered wont fit my light fittings etc. But today I discovered my best mistake of all.
As the glazing company dropped off my latest order there just didnt seem to be as many pieces as I was expecting.
"How many are there?"
"Seven"
"ummm, there should be fourteen"
As I realised all seven were different sizes it dawned on me...when ringing through the order dimensions for glass for french windows, dont forget to ask for "Two of"...
