Problems

We've run into some problems. When the plumbers were here to hook the appliances up we discovered that the space for the stove/range is too narrow, AND the upper cabinets and vent do not line up with the stove below! This is a huge problem, and we failed the plumbing inspection.

The design company is responsible for the problems so they sent someone out to rearrange the cabinets so they line up with the stove below. Now we are waiting for the counter tops to be fixed, they need to make the space larger for the range to fit, and also repair damage done to the backsplash when the upper cabinets were moved.

We have lost a week from this debacle and there has been lots of communication challenges when trying to get tradesmen to take responsibility for their mistakes.

On a positive note out carpenter is very close to finishing up all of the final touch details and they look great. We are hoping to be 'done' in 2 weeks

Pictured Below:

The range and cabinet above, you can see that they do not line up

Curtains

The curtains are up. We went with a rod and curtain to keep things easy and simple.

Countertops

After a few issues the countertops are installed. As seen in one of the pictures, they templated it wrong (if templated is a word) and there was a gap. They went back and completely redid that piece of stone and now it is finished.

Electrical Final

No pictures for this post, but today the electrical passed final inspection. 2 more inspections left to go; plumbing and building final.

Counter-top template

The counter top people came out and took a template to manufacture the stone. Now there will be a 2 week down period where we wait for them to make the stone. No new updates expected for 2 weeks.

Appliances have arrived

They are not hooked up yet, but here is the oven and dishwasher.
