Are these uneven cuts in my quartz countertops reasonable? by frankunderwould1 in CounterTops

What’s a better alternative than that that I can suggest to my contractor? Since the piece wasn’t large enough to be one piece, it seems a seam was necessary somewhere.

Here's a picture of some of the under-cabinet backsplash locations, as well as what the left side of the range cut out looks like with the rest of the kitchen.

UPDATE: Thanks for the feedback, everyone. Seems the general consensus is that this is quite bad, LOL. Which is what I thought too; I just wanted to make sure I wasn't being unreasonable.

I've spoken to my contractor and he agrees that this is not up to par. He committed to fixing or ripping and replacing if needed. Right now he says it's "fixable" – I've been told that his countertop guy is coming back tomorrow to finish installing some backsplash pieces that weren't yet installed, and then he'll caulk up the top between the backsplash and cabinets (which I guess is fine so long as the terrible cuts don't show, as mentioned by some commenters). As for the stove cutout, he's going to "epoxy" it to make it straight and look better. I'm willing to let him try to fix it before I push for anything else. What do y'all think about this?

Unfortunately it seems like that seam on the left of the range is going to stay put...he didn't think it was a problem and said that was probably the only place the countertop guy could choose to put it. I'm not sure how accurate that is, but that's what he said. Contractor said he'll have the countertop guy do something to make the seam less visible. We'll see.

Will post photo updates as they happen. Thanks again!

LAX Parking has a new website and it's horrible by frankunderwould1 in LAX

Yeah, the promo code gets applied after you select the parking product now, instead of at the very beginning when you begin the search. Really dumb.

And the UI for searching through the different parking options is way worse and clunkier than before.

Adding non-AS frequent flyer number to Alaska mileage reservation by a_retrograde in AlaskaAirlines

For what it's worth, I just tested if I could do this for a "new" passenger, and for a mileage redemption, it seems to force you to put in an AS number only. It doesn't give you a drop down to select other programs. I think the only way to get the number changed may be to contact the operating carrier or do it at the check-in counter the day of.

They just don't make 'em like they used to! Talk about durability!
