First let me start off by sayin that the remodoling process stinks. We decided last fall that we where going to remodle our kitchen , well that was the easiest decesion of the whole thing. We had four contractors come out and give us a bid now mind you this kitchen isnt the size of the white house infact its on the smaller side , so anyway we decide on one find out that he does wonderful work , and can do the job for a decent price so we give him a down payment of 5,000.00 that was on nov 1st 2010 and let me tell you it is now may and we still have no kitchen. They told us on jan 20th that we had to order our hardware and doors and what not and pick out a color, so we do this we also needed to order our sink and space saver microwave, said this should all be done before we go on vacation in feb so they can start when we get back, well we come back and no communication on their part what so ever.
Then we find out that my mother was ill and had to have heart surgery , that was at the very end of feb. Her surgery was done the first part of march it didn't go well ad she almost died , but dh ws still at home tearing apart our kitchen. Finally they call me when mom was in the hospital and tell me they are finally doing a walk through. They do the walk through and tell dh work will start the middle of april, so we get to that point, we meet with them to firm up that they will be comming all systems are go tell them that we are going to take out bottom cabinets along with existing stove and sink
we need an electrician and plumber to do this , so on good friday we round up both and spend easter weekend not with family but taking the rest of the kitchen apart as they are supposed to show up the monday after easter and guess what we are still waiting.
they say that maybe they would show up this week well... no such luck. Meanwhile my mom is home a heart patient on a speciasl heart diet and guess what we have no kitchen We are now going to tell them that if they don't come and do this we will be suing them.
There are days i just want to cry we have nothing to make anything with so we eat out alot i dread mealtime because i don't know what to make all we have is a microwave. We cant use our grill because we can't wash the untensils and dont want to clog up the bathroom sinks
Like i said its a long vent thanks for taking the time read it if you did.

Our contractor handled it all for us and the granite shop offered us a more expensive replacement slab that was similar (ok actually it was prettier than what we had selected) and they ate the cost difference.
