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.

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

      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.

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

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

    Yikes! At least the tile is good.
    Hope the headaches come to an end soon!

    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!

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