Hey, I'm Still Here

How about a little update.

Haven't been fishing since March 11th.

The tile floor (installed by real tile people) is in and they did a great job.

Just a peek

A closer peek
The kitchen cabinets are in, but they did them all wrong. Should have been 3/4 adjustable shelves and they put in full, not adjustable shelves. We took them anyway because waiting for them to be redone would probably be another 6 months.

Discovered last Friday that the color they painted the walls (and the master bedroom) was a couple shades darker than the rest of the house. We released them from any more painting and we will repaint the kitchen.

Because of the cabinet screw-up the counter installation has been put off a month. Now scheduled for April 25th. Once the counters are in, the appliances can be installed. We have a new oven, dishwasher, new garbage disposal, and new range top.

When it's done, it'll be a new kitchen.

Nothing being done yesterday, I could have gone fishing, but it was pouring. Today and tomorrow they'll be back so no fishing until maybe Thursday.

Stay tuned.

  1. Hope you got a credit for the cabinet screw up! And no kidding about yesterday's rain. (I'm hoping for more...)

    1. They offered a measly amount. It was take it or wait another month or more to remake the cabinets. I think 6 months without a kitchen was long enough.

  2. All I can say is pour a cup of coffee and watch the rain out the window. It's supposed to relax you.

    2. Hi John. See my response to Pat's comment above. Typical contractor bullshit.

    I wonder when will this nightmare actually end--really feel bad for you guys----I guess the rain could be counted as a plus.

  7. I sure do wish the headaches you and your wife are experiencing will be coming to an end soon, and you two can enjoy 2016. On a positive note, the tile looks great!

  8. No fishing since the 11th, oh my.
    The tiles are so similar to the ones we had put in our kitchen.
