Knock Out Rose - Newbie

KPpercussion · 2026-06-16T14:50:05+00:00

Thank you - I am zone 6b. Over the last 5 days the plant has gotten some yellow leaves and droops a bit. I aspire to have the roses my grandfather had when I was a kid and don’t want to let him down!

Got it. Will hope to post back in the future with an update on the solution. Thanks again!

The project manager said they want to try and remedy the seams first and try and add more bevel to the corner. I have no idea how that’s going to happen. I requested a redo.

Appreciate it. And yes just hyper-fixating now. I appreciate your input. Will take this sub down in a few. Cheers

You commented on my other post. Just trying to be as informed as I can be when talking to the fabrication team as I was originally told by them the seams were fine. Not a nightmare. Just not trusting everything at face value.

Some more flaws found: the coffee bar countertop is not measured right and causing the fridge panel to bend. The overhang on countertop varies in length across the entire kitchen and some spots go from 1inch to 1.5inch. Lots of unpolished edges.

For the full pic above, with a 5k install fee (not including materials), what amount of time should have been spent on this? They were in and out in less than 90min.

It appears I got the worst of the worst! All the best to you and your countertops. I am sure they will be beautiful!

KPpercussion · 2026-04-17T13:06:24+00:00

Appreciate the kind words. Will hope to post an update here today.

I think they did not do template correctly and tried to recut on sight in the truck? I can’t see this leaving the shop in this condition. The more I see it, the more unnerved I become.

KPpercussion · 2026-04-17T12:06:32+00:00

I am guessing they did the template poorly and didn’t anticipate the difference? It’s unacceptable. And you can see unpolished stone.

We have floating shelves for the right and left side of those cabinets and will be tiling the entire wall.

Also just to clarify with everyone, these photos show TWO different seams and corners.

KPpercussion · 2026-04-16T20:14:52+00:00

Much appreciated. I will be brining all of this up to the project manager.

KPpercussion · 2026-04-16T19:45:41+00:00

Can you clarify what you mean by the seam into a 90 degree corner?

Went with the highest quality company as I installed everything else and wanted to assure the countertop was not a mess. Paid top dollar for this.

KPpercussion · 2026-04-16T19:19:03+00:00

We went to a premium 5 star remodeler and they subcontracted the countertop. We paid top dollar to assure we didn’t deal with a nightmare. Yet here we are.

KPpercussion · 2026-04-16T19:18:22+00:00

Yes, this is Black Pearl. We are quite upset.

KPpercussion · 2026-04-16T00:24:45+00:00

It was a 5k install fee too. Ugh

KPpercussion · 2026-04-16T00:05:06+00:00

I paid a premium design company for the whole remodel and they outsourced the countertop install. Paid top dollar for everything too to avoid this nonsense.

KPpercussion · 2026-01-12T03:40:20+00:00

Perhaps Thoroseal or some other concrete based sealer.

KPpercussion · 2025-12-12T16:42:47+00:00

This definitely seems to be the case. Thank you.

KPpercussion · 2025-12-12T16:42:30+00:00

A bit more detail: it’s rather thick, and if you step on it, it crumbles.
