Can we talk about the week I had to build a kitchen with no right angles

Last month in this old Boston house, every wall was off by at least half an inch. I spent three full days just scribing filler pieces and cutting custom shims, not building cabinets. The client kept saying 'just make it work' but wouldn't pay for the extra time. Has anyone else had a job where the prep work took longer than the actual install?

Half an inch? That's basically square in some of these places. Sounds like a normal Tuesday.

Did the client ever admit they knew the walls were that bad before you started?
