Well if you don't look to close our kitchen is done LOL. The cabinets are finished, new floors are done and the countertops are on. But if you look close you might notice that the corners of the counter tops don't actually meet!
The counter tops were put in last friday. W and I (mostly W of course) took out the sink and removed the old countertops thursday night and the installers came in and "did their job." We weren't thrilled with the corners but were told it was the best they could do on a bar top. Then W went to reattach the plumbing to the sink and discovered that the sink wasn't installed correctly and the counter top wasn't actaully attached to much. In fact I could lift the counter top and one of the seams wasn't even glued.
Monday I called Home Depot to complain. The owner of the installation company came out and inspected on tuesday. He said he would have the guys come back out on wednesday and fix the sink and caulk the corners to make it look nicer. The guys came and did their thing. The corners looked better and presumably the sink was in correctly. W came home from work and the sink still wasn't in correctly. At this point we decided it was the best we were going to get.
Thursday Home Depot called to ask us how the installation went. W answered the phone. He told them we weren't thrilled but it was livable. The installers had said they would leave us a tube of the caulk they used but they forgot. We were hoping another layer of caulk would make the corners appear more flush. W asked the woman at Home Depot about getting some caulk and she decided she needed to come check out the job fer herself. She came yesterday afternoon and wasn't happy with the job either.
SO.... next thursday the installers are coming back to remove the countertops, and do whatever theh have to do to get them to fit right. And, hopefully, put the sink back in correctly. FUN!
