Hi all, Has anyone had this problem before? I have had floors which drop off a few cms from left to right or from right to left, BUT I recently went to hang some curtains that the client wanted skimming the carpet, and the floor was 2cm higher next to the wall than it was 10cm out from the wall. This meant that when they were open the folds of the curtain skimmed the floor at the back of the fold, but were off the ground where the fabric came forward. I spent ages fiddling with them and re-measuring the drop, slightly panicking that I had made an error in my measurements but no it was the floor. I explained the dilemma, i.e they were either going to look too long or too short but I didn;t want to sound like I was making excuses about them not sitting right.
I think that there must have been a very thick underlay down that had flattened over the years, but the edges of the carpet were still a nice plump pile bringing them up.
The man of the house seemed ok with them, and the designer I was working with was ok about them, but I am still waiting to hear from the lady of the house...
I came away with a really sick feeling in my stomach that I usually only get on the way in to a fitting, the relief usually comes on the way home.
This job is really not good for your nerves is it?
