The cabinet guy was out late yesterday and agreed there was a few screw-ups that need to be fixed. Apparently while “tweaking” the design, someone forgot to move the upper cabinets to match the lower, but that will all be fixed.

The uppers are being redone to align the microwave directly above the stove. At the moment it’s about 3 inches off being centered correctly.

They also agreed the granite is totally wrong and it WILL be fixed to our satisfaction. There is a strong possibility that new granite will be brought in because of the damage to the current counter.

Naturally that meant I needed to move another light switch. We are getting to know the electrician VERY well!

But I just keep repeating that it WILL be worth it in the end. And I know it will (I’m not really complaining, just getting tired of living in chaos).

One last image - this is my faucet. I love it, it was way too expensive (but I got a good discount). I consider it to be “bling” for the kitchen.

I found similar designs, but they either looked cheap or were way too large.

This one is just perfect. If you are either (a) into reading about faucets or (b) wanting this for your own kitchen, read the specs - Ladylux Faucets specs.
