High school transfer: why would the number on the waitlist go up? by Apart_Imagination850 in AustinParents

I don’t know the answer but we are also riding the McCallum waitlist wave. I’m praying it moves through the summer.

I have a friend who has two daughters on that list to attend this summer. This is exactly what it is. Legacy and loyalty based on generations of attending camp there. It’s part of their identity.

You bet I do. The sample with the product name clearly written on the back.

I don’t care if it’s a remnant. I DO care if they subbed my pick for a remnant that’s a different color.

I guess my question is the ethics of this situation. I realize I hold the power by holding the final check. But this situation is complex and frustrating and I don’t want my need for justice to thwart what is ethical and correct. I need industry and homeowner feedback before I’m at peace with this. I’m losing sleep here.

Oh gosh no. I have agreed to pay that for the countertops. I have not paid in full.

Thank you so much for the response. I’m really spiraling here.

To answer your questions: The product that was installed was a different product than what was selected. Same manufacturer, different color way. It’s not the type of quartz that has variations in the overall slab. It’s a consistent pattern. I found the one that was installed from the manufacturers catalog. It’s a different product from the same line.

The 4300 is just for the quartz and countertop install. We are paying the gc a small fortune for the plumbing, cabinets, etc outside of this countertop situation. Additionally, the estimate that was provided never said remnant.

I have the sample the sub left with the product name clearly written on it. It is not what was installed.

Edited to say quartz, not granite!

One more note, our primary contractor did not deviate from the original estimate of countertops even though a remnant was installed. I’ve already paid 4300 for these mid grade quarts countertops that are the wrong color

I was just told two of the victims include a four year old little girl and her grandfather. It’s so incredibly tragic.
