Prodding

Yesterday the counter install was scheduled to happen. When I confirmed the appointment I emphasized I needed it done by that day as I was leaving town the following day (not exactly true). When 11am arrived and I had not seen any activity in my driveway from the Ring camera I got concerned and called.

The woman on the phone said I was on the schedule for Tuesday not Monday. I told her that was not what I confirmed and that I really needed them to be completed today as discussed. She put me on hold while she tried to see where the issue was. After a few minutes of holding the owner hopped on and apologized for the miscommunication. He said he could get a crew there between 3 and 5PM. I said that was fine.

I got the Ring notification shortly before 4PM. I opened the garage and headed home. By the time I got there they already had the big slabs in the kitchen in place, they worked fast. They were finished up by 6:30. I was instructed to let the main counters set for at least an hour and the raised bar for at least a day. The only thing that did not get done is reconnecting all the plumbing which is supposed to be happening this morning.

I think the new surface looks fantastic. Having the same cabinets and counter style in the bathrooms are a smart move as well. Even though I spent a bunch of money on this I think the appreciation in home value should meet or exceed it.

I am hoping to come home tonight to a fully functional kitchen and master bathroom. I don’t have much time to get things back in order as I need to run Elsa up to Babcock since Ali and Shugs are watching her while I head up to an IT conference the last 3 days of the week.
