One thing that as always annoyed me about a lot of Turkish craftsmen builders etc. Instead of doing a job properly in the first place they will happily come back to put things right.

You want flat and level?

Ask for something to be laid to a fall, flat and level every time  :)

what's funny is that when we viewed one of the apartments which was all but completed the switches were straight.  Ours?.....................Not likely!  All wonky!
