Failed ProjectsYou start off with the best of intentions, but through raging incompetence, ineptitude or the plain fact that you're working in IT, things go terribly wrong and there's hell to pay. Tell us about the epic failures that have brought big ideas to their knees. Or just blame someone else.

Is it a failed project if it just takes a long time to get finished?I've been in this house for 15 years and the kitchen still hasn't been wallpapered/tiled properly and there's never been any floor covering in the dining-room. We bought a new kitchen in May 2007 and it was finally fitted 2 years later. Apart from the splashbacks, along with the pelmets, cornice and plinths for the cabinets to be fitted. Oh, and a cooker hood needs hanging.
The bathroom still needs the bath panel attaching and in the living room, the skirting boards still need fitting along with part of the doorframe.
I will get around to it, honest.

HmmI think you are one of us are you not Mr SLVA? Yes, this all sounds eerily familiar to me.. trying to save a few quid getting jobs half done on the cheap but with no one in mind to actually do all the final fit and finish that completes the job! Nothing EVER gets completed in our house.

that does pretty much sum it upI've got a shit load of power tools too, but I daren't use them in case I fuck something up. It took me 6 months to lay the wooden floor in the living room, and that was only a hacksaw and a rubber mallet.
