Kitchen nightmare continues

Tweet

Kitchen appliances should be put into the kitchen and installed after all the kitchen cabinetry work is done. That is what I anticipated would happen and so did not postpone our appliance delivery scheduled for August 31st. That is not what happened though. With the kitchen cabinet work still incomplete the appliances were delivered. The fridge and microwave were placed into the dining room and we told the delivery men to place the dishwasher and the stove into the kitchen. I asked them to do that because our contractor works alone and I did not want him dragging those appliances into the kitchen himself. Also, you need the appliances installed when countertop people come to measure things and our contractor is not here to do that. If not connected, I at least wanted them in their spots. Unfortunately, they did not put the appliances into their spaces because those spaces weren't ready. There was stuff that had to be unscrewed to slide the appliances in. The kitchen guys came yesterday (for the 3rd time) to continue working on the kitchen. They had to put the appliances into their spots before starting any work. I had a large sheet on the floor that my contractor uses to cover the floor when working. I didn't want the new tiles exposed. The guys removed it. I thought they would just remove a little bit so they can slide the appliances in but they removed the entire sheet, telling me not to worry, that they will not scratch the floors. While the floors do not look scratched they were all covered in the dust debris (if that's the name) from the saw cutting they had to do. And all that debris also went all over the brand new stove and dishwasher and the bottom cabinets which are exposed as there is no countertop yet. I had to attempt to get rid of all that stuff. I swept the floor many times. I wiped the inside of cabinets. And I had to wipe it all off from the appliances. I didn't even get to wipe the outside of the cabinets yet. I looked at everything today and there was still dust left on the appliances, on the floor, and inside the cabinets. Argh! Have to sweep the floor again and wipe stuff again too. Not even gonna worry about the outside of the cabinets at this point. If they had to saw anything they should have done it outside. At the very least they should've asked me to give them something to cover the appliances and cabinets with. And they should have put the sheet back on the floor. Now they will be coming back to continue installing things. And I bet they will have more sawing to do... To put in the Lazy Susan they will have to take the stove out of its spot because it is not in all the way and it blocks the cabinet door from opening. I am not a fan of them doing that because I already saw a small chip on the oven door. And I want them to slide it back in. I home no more damage will be caused to it. And of course I don't want the cabinets to get banged up in the process. That space is pretty tight.
