The Mistake

These men are waiting demolish the entrance to the children centre. About two months ago a fine, swish, expensive door made in Italy was delivered. It was too big.
The measurements sent to the manufacturer had included the current door frame, so out comes the door and frame, refashion the the wall, build a new door frame and fit the Italian Door. A lot of work, but as the door cost £10,000 it was cheaper to rebuild the entrance than discard it.
So it is true,
Measure once, Measure twice, Measure three times - then cut. Or in this case - order!
