October 11: Good news - the corner cabinet has arrived.
October 15: Since the kitchen company Thys doesn't want to send someone to install the corner cabinet, our contractor decided to install it himself. So he arrives at night with the cabinet, which is TOO SMALL.
It should have been 60 cm deep, instead it is only 20 cm deep. How on earth are we going to put in a mac mini and all other equipment that we had planned (and not to mention all the lost space in that corner).
Our contractor installs it anyway so that the granite guys can install the granite.
Half an hour later the granite company calls, THEY DROPPED OUR SLAB! What else can go wrong.
But hey - they will make a new one and will come on the same day, just a little later.
October 16: The granite guys came late but we don't care at this point, they made it!
They told us they have never seen a kitchen like this, where the owners (we) don't have any appliances installed. The kitchen installers (Thys) should have done that, even without a countertop. The granite guys can not install the equipment so we have to wait till October 26th for Thys to come out and do it.
However - it looks great right now with granite in place, I really like it.
BUT HEY WAIT - WHAT IS THAT??
Oh no, they cut out a regular square for the cooktop, which is not what our cooktop needs it's a built-in cooktop, not one to put on top (Thys didn't check the type of cooktop we have before passing the info to the granite guys). GRRRR...
The granite installers call the granite company and they say that someone can come over to our place and fix it here - only disadvantage is HUGE dust problem, so we will need to tape off the work area, tape off all the slides in the drawers because if not, it will make it impossible for drawers to slide ever again...
SCARY - especially since this is probably going to be done while I am in the States, meaning my mom needs to do all the clean up...
