Well, he came out to finish putting in the kitchen and 5 hours later when he left there was less kitchen than when he came. He started by putting the remade cabinet above the fridge but when he got it in I realized that it was at least an inch too shallow to accomodate a cookie sheet and was not deep enough for me to reach from over top of the fridge. I would have needed a ladder to even open the door, never mind put something in or remove it. He then had to take it out and is going to add 4 inches to the back of it to make it useable. It looked lovely as you can see but was not functional.
Then I pointed out that the doors on the uppers were very red compared with the lowers, particularily at night under the lights. This problem is a result of them building it a few pieces at a time. They swear that they use the exact same stain but the reality is that the stain that they use is a concoction and I am sure that they eyeball the measurements because when push comes to shove they can make it all the same color. He therefore had to take the doors home along with a door that he is trying to match and strip them and make them the same color. Poor guy, I really did feel sorry for him but hey, I don't want to build a lovely house and have is spoiled by the cabinets being wierd. Maybe next week. The good news is that he needs some money so he has incentive to finish pronto.
