I HATE THEM I HATE THEM I HATE THEM

I hate them. METRIC CONSTRUCION f's up again.

This time it's the fireplace. I think I noted before that Metric Construction was going to enlclose the fireplace at no cost to me. My father called Krispy and informed him he didn't have any faith in METRIC CONSTRUCTION'S ability to get it right--since they are complete incompetents, but if Krispy felt they could do it to the specs of the plan, to go ahead and close it in.

No surprise this morning when dad got there and it was COMPLETY FREAKIN WRONG. COMPLETELY! It was supposed to be 3'5" wide and go all the way to the ceiling. Instead, it's 3'10" wide and about 4' high. What's even better is that the fireplace in the unit next door looks how mine is supposed to.

EVEN better is that now that the frame has been built around the fireplace, the floor has been damaged. So when the frame/fireplace is fixed, the floor has to be repaired. The maple floor I had to fight for. Damaged by morons who work for METRIC CONSTRUCION.

I just can't handle it. Something must be done.

i was dissmayed to hear of your recent metric construction troubles and hope that all has been righted with correct measurementary adjustations. it is regretable that said measurements were not "done the right way" as bob villa might say.

Thanks for the kind thoughts, superflywebpimp. It's sad that it has been such a horrible experience. Whats worse, I feel that Metric Construction Corporation is by sheer semantics, giving construction, using metric measuring, a bad name, when in reality, they use English measurements, and apparently, aren't so great at it.

Bob Vila (as well as Norm Abram) also say to 'measure twice and cut once.' Metric uses 'guess, maybe no one will notice it's wrong.'
