Getting some more headway in the remodel. We’ve got a ceiling and have the walls painted. It looks nice and sharp if I do say so myself. Props to my wife for picking the color.

I spent the past … well I think almost a week getting things prepped, waiting for installation, and finishing the hookup of everything, but my parents’ new counter tops are in and the plumbing is hooked up. I don’t have pictures of the island, since all my tools and supplies were stacked up there, and the cabinets need to be finished, but here is a sneak peak at what I’ve been up to.

We have been without counters or a sink since Sunday after church. The counters were supposed to be installed on Monday, but there was a pretty big mix-up, so they didn’t get installed till Tuesday, then we had to wait 24 hours to install the plumbing. I have completed most of it, but the drains don’t match with the old sink, so I’m off to the store, hopefully for the last time on this project, to get supplies to get’er done.

I really hate remodeling.

The installers didn’t come at the earliest part of their time span, which is fine because we had some extra things to get prepped like getting a new dishwasher in place. All the extra work to get things prepped for after the installation was done, but the counter top hadn’t arrived. The end of the “we’ll be there” window slipped away, so we called. Bad news, counter top wasn’t coming. The installers said there was a price increase due to a few things being larger than the original estimate (That’s What She Said) and the approval for the increase hadn’t been sent in. Of course no one called about this, so how could anything have been approved?

So now there is no sink, no counter, no dishwasher, well it’s there but without the plumbing it isn’t very useful. I’ll have to spend all day tomorrow on this again, and I’m frustrated, but my dad is down right angry. I have to say, I’ve been on the receiving end of that, so I’m pretty happy that I could walk away when he was talking to the people on the phone.

Every have a remodeling disaster like this? What happened?
