Now I got to sort their mess out or otherwise the customer will think I can't even cut straight.

Above the sink the trim is touching the ceiling and a meter to the left and I can fit my fingers between them.

Looks the ceiling sagged a bit once they did the lighting. Probably started straight but poor quality drywall or incorrect install.

And why can't you caulk? Trim would be more durable, but caulk should also be fine. But you are expecting to remove these cabinets without demoing in the future? Why does it matter if there's some demoed trim with caulk on it?

    There's electrical wiring above the cabinets behind the trim that needs to be left so that it can be accessed later.

    Holy shit, I wish most contractors were like you. My house is a total mess of completely unmaintainable pipes and wiring.

    I have internal pipes against an outside wall that I'd need to remove plumbing and sleeves to get to, and they're not lagged. I also have a shower drain with an upward angle (and pressure on the join) that drips slowly, and I'll need to rip out half the shower to fix it.
