Screwed up a full set of kitchen cabinet plans last Tuesday

I was drafting up a kitchen remodel in my garage workshop when I realized my measurements were off by 3/4 inch on the upper cabinets... totally my fault for not double checking the ceiling slope. Had to redo the whole elevation drawing from scratch and lost about 2 hours of work. The client's wife already approved the layout too and now I gotta break it to her tomorrow. Has anyone else dealt with a major measurement error like this and found a good way to smooth it over with clients?

Yeah assuming the ceiling is level is a rookie mistake but we've all been there. @sandra146 nailed it though - you gotta check that slope before you even pull out a pencil. I'd just be straight with the client and show her the numbers so she sees it wasn't carelessness.

Did you check the ceiling slope before you started sketching, or did you assume it was level?
