You Know Who's In The Details

The cabinets are going in and I'm trying very hard not to freak out completely about the things which just aren't right. In general, they are beautiful, gorgeous really. However, the recycling unit is not what we were shown and we cannot find the components of the composting portion to make it right. I think we're going to have to stick with the top open basket (perhaps use it for the plastic bags for the cans below) and put a separate compost pail under the sink. Just what I was trying to avoid and why we ordered what we did in the first place. Sigh.

Then there are the missing things. Skins, corbuls, molding. Some ordered, some not, not sure, but all on the way one way or another. Sigh.

Then there's the inexplicably unfinished bookcase. The only completely open cabinet and this is the one they somehow forget to finish completely. Our contractor will fix it (and our expense, I'm sure) and I'm going to have to complain bitterly in order to collect on the warranty, I'm sure. They'll want to take the cabinet back and I'm not willing to delay the project for weeks or more in order for them to do that. Sigh.

Tile is going in the bathrooms and boy does it look great. Very pleased with our choices. Unfortunately that means we're down to zero bathrooms, so we've been at the Embassy Suites all week. Much as I love ES (especially those made-to-order breakfasts, yum!), it's hard on the kids to be away, and the parking situation is tough. We should have semi-functional bathrooms next week, so we'll be moving back in on Monday.
