Contractor Speak " It will be done in 7 days, no matter how long it takes"??
So we've had a couple of set backs but are still making progress.
Our quartz order had a minor snafu and half of our order arrived a week later than planned. That snafu delayed the installation of the master bath sink. We've used the guest bathroom/guest bedroom/office since we've moved in on April 1st.
Once the quartz was installed, we were able to get the tile sub-contractor out for installation of the backsplash. In my opinion the backsplash looks better than I imagined it would.
Then I received my shipment of door handles and drawer pulls - all 3 of them! I thought I'd gotten 75 pieces for a great deal but in reality the web site was mis-leading and the $60+ cost was only for 3 pulls!! Mike and I went on-line and he found a very nice alternative which goes very well with our rustic theme. The pulls are cast iron, bronze in color and really bring attention to the knots and imperfections in the birch wood. I am much happier with them than I would have been with the stainless originally ordered.
Now we are waiting for some re-work on the backsplash. Stan, our tile expert extraordinaire, says the original grout was too "soupy" and it needs to be re-grouted and then sealed. So that is to come.
We were able, after about 4 trips back to the glass company, to get the seeded glass in the kitchen cabinets.
They have framed the sunroom and the carpenters framed the walls with about sixty
2 by 6 studs. I can now see where my 3 huge picture windows will be going and I am VERY happy with the sunroom.
