Two Words....Yet another UPDATE!!!

Podcast had some problems and should be up Thursday
Oooooo. Was thinking that but hadn't seen any posts about it on the board. Hmmm, another thing to make thursday afternoon great.

I can stop stalking iTunes now..... and I might even get some revision done for my exam on thursday morning....
 
Your kitchen is absolutely beautiful!!

Thanks so much! We were in the kitchen hell that John and Kevin are going through about a year and a half ago. In this pic, the kitchen isn't quite done...but I had been waiting SO long, I took this as my "after" picture. The crown molding isn't done in this pic and the glass isn't in the corner cabinet, etc...a few little details. But it was functional, so that was all that mattered at that time! I know John and Kevin can relate.

I love this cake, it's so pretty! I think I might attempt this for DD's next Birthday. ::yes::

I am litterally drooling. I need to go get me some cake now! :rotfl:

It was really easy to do! I am not good at cakes at all and even I managed this one. I didn't like the Tink candle topper, (she looks kind of pissed off), but it was all I could find. It was for my daughter's 5th birthday.
 

Gee Kevin,

tell me how you truly feel.....excited maybe...just a tinsy weensy bit...
 
I just read the blog. What a nightmare. do you think they will make you pay for the broken counter (& the second identically broken but reapaired one)?

Hallejuhah!!!!!!!! :dancer: :party: :dancer:

If it isn't too much trouble, I would LOVE to see a picture of the granite.
I am so curious to see what chocolate chip, mini-marshmellow, rice krispy granite looks like!
 
Kevin that kitchen sounds fantastic. Pretty please post some pics of it!!!! I will keep praying to the granite gods that it doesnt break and is in today!!
 
We share the kitchen responsibilities.

I cook and John eats what I cook. :rotfl2:

Kitchen Remodel Update
The granite is 90% done.

There is one piece that seems to have been mis-measured. It is the piece that goes behind the sink.

Above our sink is a pass through to the dining room. There is a counter on this pass through that is going to be the same granite as the counter tops.

The piece behind the sink is supposed to meet the pass through counter and currently it does not. There is a 1/2 to 1/4 inch gap.

Their solution was to cut down part of the wall in order to cover their mis-measurement. I was told that they can "spackle and stucco and then place a piece of baseboard molding to cover where they cut the wall."

We dont want spackle, stucco or baseboard molding on the wall in the dining room...so.....

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Kevin went carnival ape crazy on the granite guys, yet again. (it's to the point where I'm talking about myself in the third person)

I explained that I would not accept this soultion to THEIR mis-measuring. It was explained to me that this meant that they had to cut another piece.

I think they understood when I told them that I didnt give a (delete delete delete) what they had to do. THEY WERE NOT CUTTTING THE WALL.

The granite guys are coming back tomorrow.....maybe.

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unbelieveable, do they not do this for a living???? Did you guys go out and hire unemployed Disney valets for this or what?

I hope all these "issues" are coming out of their pocket.

Keep us posted! I'm going to be dying to see if they come back tomorrow!
 
Is this the part where the granite people start to pay you to go away? :rotfl2:

The university I work has a lot of construction going on right now. While it doesn't rival UCF (under construction forever...) we've got a good bit happening. There is a woman in our office in charge of facilities and the things she deals with on a daily basis are amazing. My favorite was in a computer lab the contractor installed the wrong windows. The windows were supposed to be clear. They were not, they had some kind of privacy glaze on them. The contractor then ordered special blinds put up to cover the windows. The Princess of Darkness, as we refer to her, buried several contractors in the crater her explosion created.

Good luck!

Does this mean they aren't getting tipped? :rotfl2:

I have to tell ya, John's blog was even funnier when I read it out loud to my husband. The best part was envisioning your expression when the granite guy suggested uba tuba. :rotfl2: So sorry for your misfortune but it was hilarious to read!
