You can always take unopened tins back to the shop for a refund.
I was supposed to be painting all night into the early hours (so we had a free day tomorrow) - had to give up about midnight when I ran out of paint.
Double socket in lounge with intermittent connection. I pulled off the socket face and shuddered. The twin and earth didn’t come far enough down the wall cavity so it’d been extended with what looked like lamp flex and some spare for the earth. No connectors, just twisted and taped. Pattress box held in (barely) with two different screws and sorry-looking wooden rawlplugs.
So muggins here had to chase out a new recess in the blockwork 100mm higher up the wall, install a new pattress box, mortar the old hole and install a new socket on the end of the twin and earth. Five minute job turned into three-day epic. If I’d have got my hands on him etc.
Not a disaster as such, but I was totally flummoxed by trying to install a landing light that I could switch on or off from either the hall or the landing - I could get it to work from one end, or the other end, but not from both.
Bloody frustrating 2 days that was.
