Measure twice / Cut once
Bless their hearts. They're really trying, but they're suffering from lack of measure twice, cut once. Some of the new countertops are over an inch off, and I feel bad about bringing it up, but unless it gets fixed, it's going to look pretty ugly. There's also a few broken/chipped corners, but the installers seem to be taking it all in stride. Just a few fix-it items as far as they're concerned. I keep bringing items to their attention, and they keep pulling slabs off the particle board and glue combination and recutting/sanding/etc.
They've decided to cut the hole for the sink inside. It's going to be VERY dusty by the time they're finished. I've put up a sheet in the hallway entrance at a futile attempt to hold the dust in the kitchen/living room.
It's unfortunate that they're over measurement will not allow enough material for a backsplash over the sink. I know they're going to try to charge me $50 for a new piece of 4" backsplash. We'll see.
Otherwise, the granite color is really nice against the cabinets and appliances. Pictures to follow.
