Hardwood nightmare continues, cabinets, etc.
I spent the whole day at the job site today.
The plumber looked for the leak over the garage ceiling, but couldn't even find plumbing. We suspect that it may have been a roof leak, although it would have had to come down the attic, between walls and down to the garage which would be odd. It was after a very raining night, though.
The hardwood is as I was worried, turning out to be a huge stress. Everywhere that they sanded the scratches out (just about 2' of the perimeter of every room) was a darker stain. I was assured that it would blend in 2-3 weeks. I questioned why they didn't just sand the whole floor down because I didn't want any delays later. No problem I was assured. Now they put the final top coat on and sure enough the blotching unmatched color is still there. Now they're saying 2-3 months it will blend "guaranteed". Why should I have to wait 2-3 months for my floors to (maybe) look good when it is a brand new house?
The cabinet situation isn't much better. We love the look of the cabinets, but are waiting for them to come paint them AGAIN since they just can't seem to get the color right (the doors don't even match each other). They replaced the backspalsh a second time because they scratched it last time after replacing it.
The shutters and corbels went up today, though, and they look awesome. Pete and Todd finishe dthe stair railing which looks great, the door hardware (Emtek) which we love. So things are coming to gether with the exception of the floor.
