About a month and a half ago, our countertop guy finally showed up with the finished tops to install on our new kitchen cabinets.
He calls my wife and tells here that the cabinets are far from level, and it's the worst install he's ever seen. She calls our contractor and screams at him he basically hasn't done a thing or called us since. Mind you, in a 240 year old house there's no such thing as level.
So the countertop guy tells us he'll fix the cabinets, since the counter was already cut they had to match perfectly otherwise it'd be a waste of a slab of granite $$$
FINALLY the counter is in when we show up this past weekend and it looks great, the upper cabinets still need some work which we'll have to do ourselves. We discover that our contractor broke in and took a couple of his tools that he had left, despite the fact that he still has some of OURS that he stole
Try to re-install the stove, and discover that he'd thrown away some parts as well as the manuals.
Then the best part - I turn the heat on (forced hot water) for the first time, and one zone is completely dead and the other leaks like a seive! The fucker didn't even do the first thing he was supposed to fix right. I guess I'll be doing a crash course in heating system repair, since I no longer trust any half-wit who claims to be a service professional of any sort in that area.
So, how're y'alls remodeling projects going?
