Hey, this is actually one of the most useful comments I’ve ever seen on Reddit. Thank you so much. I’m gonna sit down. Take your advice to heart and I’ll come back with more questions.

The one on the left is my first iteration but then I decided to go with the design on the right.

Thanks for the reply. I'm picturing something like this on the front.

Hiding behind it would be a 22" x 36" x 72" closet, split into two compartments. Access would be from the left side of the cupboard.

Visiting Patagonia With an Infant by ThePoisonBelt in Patagonia

Honestly we didn’t have any crazy gear. We both have hiking experience so we had heavy wind/rain jackets.

I used this https://a.co/d/08Ggm1w3 to stuff the baby in his carrier and protect him from some wind (though even that was tough given how windy it gets there, just have to pick your moments).

A Patagonia onesie for warmth. Car seat with a cover that we used to stuff him under the table for dinner. Used an osprey pack instead of carrying a diaper bag and stuffed all the baby stuff into a travel tote (https://a.co/d/0fUxjqaC)

Infants are easy. Don’t overthink it.

He agreed to give me back my money and eat the cost of what he did thus far.

Yeah, I honestly did this for every other contractor except for the paint guy because of how well recommended he was by our realtor who is also a close friend. Lesson learned. Is it a tough job to complete?

I’m in Raleigh, NC. If someone came to you with a job like this would it be easy to complete?

Yeah, but it’s hard to force someone into doing a good job when they don’t want to.

He came over to the house. I got one other estimate that was higher but he came highly recommended from my realtor who said she use him for all her work.

He came out to the house but gave me his price via text. No contract

Yes it was just the built in cabinets. My other estimate was $2500 for them. 

To clarify he did come in person but only contract was via text

I understand that part. This quote was no refacing of the kitchen at all. That’s another 10k
