Finally it was installation day for our round concrete table. Since the piece was large and heavy we took an extra guy to make sure we could do it safely. It dropped right into place over the base the client provided and looked fantastic. Smiles all around and we walked out with our check.
As we were driving back I got a call from the designer saying we were going to have to build him another one – Great News!, until he told me why. The one we had delivered was too small, it was 60” instead of 69”. I couldn’t believe it but it was totally my fault, I had worked off memory and built it based on our initial conversation. Back to the shop to rebuild, repour, and reinstall, we finally got it right the second time. Hard lesson learned – write everything down, don’t go off memory.
