Am I Captain Slow or does anyone else think this is possible. He says he 'set his router up' - fair enough - but they still need fitting and we all know what they weigh. What does anyone think?
Cheers
It's not impossible, but it depends on what tolerances of fit the customer deems acceptable. I don't believe for a second that he fitted 17 fire doors in two eight-hour days, especially if they had to have a 3mm all-round fit with an intumescent strip. He is talking bollocks in the extreme. Some fitted doors I've seen you could limbo-dance under or sidle through the gaps. It's bull****, plain and simple.
