Dave and the plumber were here today. I have a faucet with running water! They got a lot of little things done. I'm happy for progress. Dave put in a temporary door to the deck, and that is huge!! It is so nice, and I know I am going to be very happy to be able to step out to the back. The cabinet for over the microwave came in, and they installed that, and they did a lot of little things like putting the shelves in the cabinets.
The bad:
They put my door hardware on, and they put the wrong pulls on the pull out cabinets - and they put them in the wrong place. I am very depressed about this. It is not only the fact that it's not how I wanted it, but it's not as functional either. I don't think it can be fixed either - the cup pulls and the strap pulls do not have the same distance between the screws. I could have them change them, though, because the strap pulls will hide the holes. But, they will still be on the inset, not the frame, and it will probably look weird. So much for my poll - all that obsessing about the preferred hardware, and look what I got.
The ugly:
Well, I can't say it's ugly, that's too strong a word. But, taken more liberally than literally, I'd say the ugly includes the fact that the electrician didn't come (2nd day in a row that Dave said he was coming), and the floor guys still haven't said when they are coming, and the temporary door to the back - practical, but not pretty - and it lets the bugs in. The faucet, our original one, is looking rather sad and has putty around it so that it doesn't leak. And, of course, the cup/strap pull fiasco. That definitely is added to my issues list as #5.
Today is my 21st anniversary!
