Celebrating One Month Since Stone Solutions Was Called

Why does any one think it is appropriate to leave a customer's home like this for a month?

 

Today: Operation "Get Stone Services Attention"

Still No Call From Stone Solutions

Day 15 after measuring and confirming the template.

We are at the end of the second day after I was told that the counter top  after
people would be calling me right away.

Someone is Lying. The Question is who?

1. Stone Solutions?
2. Lowe's Installation Co-ordination Team?

It does not matter, they both already have my money. Why should they give a flying roll on a fucking donut?

No call last night from Stone Solutions

Day 14 after measuring and confirming the template.

Who is surprised?

AND no call today.

Lowe's Called About Concerns

The Lowe's Installation Coordinator called and reported:

• Yes, they will supply the glass shelves.
• Yes, they will re-order the correct drawer piece.
• Yes, they have spoken to Stone Solutions who should call me any minute to give me the update on scheduling the counter top installation

Only the second season after this unit froze...  lets put this puzzle together

The problem s i bought the parts a year ago, and forget how I was planning on doing this.

Some Day's It's Hard to Get Good Help

The designer for Lowe's today called to apologize that she had been out of touch as she had family in the hospital. Should caught up with the emails and discovered that I've been told are going to be two weeks by the stone company. She said she'd look into that and call me back.

The next call I got was The Stone company calling to return my call wish I had not made. They explained to me that they were waiting on confirmation from Lowe's about the order and was surprised that I hadn't heard from Lowe's.

It turns out that I have an additional three Square feet of countertop to what was previously quoted and to what I have previously paid for. Lowe's had to get my credit card number to deal with this.

Now Lowe's has settled that and is going to call the countertop people and approve the new and improved size and thanks I'll be called within 48 hours to schedule the installation.

This all took a week for Lowe's and the stone company to get together and get more money from me.

Templates for the Counter Top

This morning the counter top company sent there electronic measuring equipment to make templates for the counter tops.

The party line is two weeks to make the counter tops.

Customizing the Pet Work Station

Today we customize a semi-custom cabinet.

The plan today is that the contractor will call me when his carpenter is on his way.  We want to lower the pet station cabinet so the bottom drawer will be a good feeding station.  Here is what it looks like now:

My plan is to cut about 3" from the bottom at the toe gap and then add some unused molding that is left from the cabinet install to regain the height.

7:55 am : The carpenter is on the way!  He will be there in half an hour!

8:51 am : The carpenter was rear-ended in a multi car accident on Rte 3 by Met Life Stadium.  He and his truck are okay, but will be delayed.

10:00 am : Text came in:  Carpenter is at the house waiting.  Gotta Run!

Meet with carpenter and discuss plan.   He used to work for some pet supply company, and knows exactly what i am looking for.  He has a better plan.  I need to run to Home Depot and get some 16" full extension, soft close drawer slides.

Here is the wonderful perfect result:
