Sort of. The Corian people are coming this afternoon with a 37" piece of countertop, and that's the last piece to install. Well, besides the shelves for the upper part of the pantry that somehow didn't get ordered. However, there are still a few things that need fixing. Our installer told us he's been doing this work for 34 years, and we've decided he's apparently been doing it poorly for just as long. We had to point out crooked cabinet doors, pantry drawers that wouldn't pull out, and a few other small things. After he left we realized there were a lot more completely unacceptable mistakes. Screws that went through the edge of the wood, an entire cabinet that isn't level, a random piece of plywood visible behind the refrigerator. They'll just have to keep coming back until it's right.
Another fun mistake they made has left us without power to our computers, home phone, and washer all weekend. They had to install a new outlet for the refrigerator, and in the process cut off power to those other outlets. We don't blame them, we blame the completely random wiring of this house. Why would outlets in the kitchen, office, and utility room all be on the same circuit? Because the electrician was high, that's all I can think of. I suppose our installer might have noticed that the line he was tapping into wasn't just a single line, but he didn't. Of course not. A funny coincidence - the guy who was here to help with the install, who did the wiring, used to work for the company who installed our HVAC system when we moved here 4 years ago. Andy started to tell him how to get to the crawlspace, and he said, "I already know, I've been down there." Crazy.
On a side note, it's hard to believe we've been here 4 years this month! Happy Anniversary, house! I'll post pictures of the kitchen after it's closer to satisfactory for us.
