I had thought this initially a joke. However, I now ponder and find myself in mental turmoil as to the feelings of the original poster. Maybe due to the lack of a deliberate indication of jest in the original post, this is - God forbid - a real installation. Should this be the case I offer my sympathy to said poster. I do find it difficult to believe that any individual could produce such workmanship and expect a customer to be satisfied with it but as pointed out by @Harvest Fields, that belief could well be misplaced.
Looking back I think I took the 'He was cheap' comment to mean, you get what you pay for, thus indicating that the customer is seeing the installation in the same light as we do.
Perhaps @abvi could enlighten us? Is it the completed article or is it a temporary job whilst the the bathroom is done?

When the customer supply’s the materials and wants a cheap job?

You lot think this is real then?

Up to about 10 or 15 years ago, yes I would have assumed it was a joke.
Nowadays it's impossible to tell one way or the other.

@Last Plumber

Calm yourself mate, this guy wasn't completely naive as for every concern mentioned he knew what the correct method to be used was. It's not like he turned up and asked is this ok or satisfactory...he knew it wasn't.

Is it leaking?

No...then jobs a good'un.

Oh yeah leaking like hell........changed the configuration of the kitchen ceiling downstairs.

I believe there is still a debate as to whether it was Israeli slaves or Egyptian labourers. Looking at that basin, my money is on the Israelis 😀

There is no way they traveled all the way to earth to fit a basin

I like the packer between basin and pedal stool

Thats no packer its the fitters lunch wrap, egyptians like hummous wraps, the cat went for it and got a smack
in my opinion...its an animal cruelty issue feeding hummous to a cat
is that overflow used as a waste.

Yes I do. There is no other explanation. The only other place a sight like that exists is area 51.
That's why it's been top secret for so long, they cannot work out how to recreate it.

1000 years but came back recently in his 2cv rocket landed on the beach at Formby and came in the Kings Arms he was the
fella that told me all about Sqube years ago, off now to change the spark plugs with him.

You know, what truly depresses me is that the op has the front to post this in some form of, 'OMG I was ripped off' way.

Does anyone with even a modicum of intelligence expect a great job for the price of peanut shells?
