Well, it has been a LONG time since I have done a blog update, so I have a lot of catching up to do. This is what I would call the storm before the calm. The kitchen cabinets are all torn apart for refinishing, and primed ready to go. This was a couple of steps before the "last laugh" for laminate post below. I don't miss having the kitchen torn apart, or the dust, and dirt.
Sadly, we would not use the company that did our refinishing again. Too much mess--at least as much as replacement cabinets. The only real benefit was cost.
Issue 1: They brought their 10 year old daughter AND her friend to our house with them. This creates a liability issue for us. We have a 12 foot deep pond at our house and rescue horses. We can't be responsible for someones child that is just hanging around while they are working. Joel likes to have on Sports Center during the day. The unexpected guest child wanted to watch Disney--Disney it was.
Issue 2: LOUD LOUD, did I say LOUD preachers. I work for a company that owns a radio station in Mississippi that makes a living off of Southern Gospel Preachers, but I don't want to walk in the house to hear that blaring, and scaring the dogs. It makes it worse when it is not turned down when you get home, and they just EXPECT you to be ok with it.
Issue 3: Not done on schedule. Before our final trim was done they had to go on vacation. Then, since our last few pieces were small a bunch of other jobs got in the way. 2 months later we finally got our last cabinet door and trim back, but not before things got awful in email.
Issue 4: Quality of work. We had to fix several things that should have been done during the job. The Lazy Susan ended up out of balance, a pull out drawer was out of track. Primer ended up places it shouldn't be--like on my new appliances and our newly refinished hardwood floors.
So, if that is not enough, I'm sure there were more issues. Thankfully the kitchen looks good now, but MojoFaux really messed up my Mojo.
