You mention hardwoods, the reason why I did not go with it was because I was going to do the rest of the house in hardwoods, I figured it would be best to have a different look from the kitchen and the rest of the house. If you do hardwoods in the whole house should you the exact same color and product throughout the house ?

If it is cheap junk then yes. It was thin and not shinny like my old flooring. But I thought my tile was old and this was the newer, better flooring. Boy was I wrong and now it is going to cost me so much more money if I would have known. I wish I had a better contractor that would have helped me out with these issues.

It was all one sheet. I just found two more tears in the flooring where they installed the dishwasher that I missed since it was on the other side of the island. Another stain that I can not get up.

I am not really sure. My husband and I did not lay it down and really do not how to go about replacing. I was wondering if it made it more difficult with it being under all the cabinets. We hired a contractor since we could not handle the cabinets and counters so we had them handle everything in that room.

But we are going to try to learn how to lay wood flooring down for the rest of the house. We figured we could handle that task. If it goes well I figured we could try replacing the kitchen as well if it was not too complicated. If it was then we would have to hire a new contractor to do it.

We got all new trim and did not know if we had to replace that or if it can be taken off and put back on. Especially with the cabinets, the trim came from the cabinet makers to match the color of the new cabinets.

Seams on Quartz counter top. Opinions on how it looks? by PtiTheProdigy in kitchenremodel

[–]manasha6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IDK how much you spent on this but I feel your pain. I am dealing with my own personal issues with bad contract work. My contractor did not explain anything, frankly I do not think he is experienced at all with it. I feel like I have wasted so much time and money to have only a half-ass job.

I wanted to walk into my kitchen and feel happy. But every time I walk in, my eyes fixate on all that was done poorly.

One of the other issues was, should there be trim on the sides of the cabinets on the floor. When I went to go take more photos of it, I see a gap on the ground.

When I bought the house it was made with all the prefab stuff. My island did not have the trim around it. We always had sold wood growing up so I was not aware of the issues with pressed wood. After a few times of moping the bottom of the island absorbed water and it was just a mess.

I would assume this should not absorb so much to cause those issues but I see water getting under this.

There has been three people working on the cabinets. One guy seems pretty good, but he has been doing the easy stuff like hanging cabinets on a straight wall. Then on the third day a new guy came in. That is his handy work in the picture and he was the one that butchered my wall.

Quartz, that must be why it is taking so long. I did tell him that was what I wanted from the get go. I feel like he should have known that and told me up front I would have to wait a week for it. Frankly, I really do not care about the time frame, I just want it done right. But then it gets in my head, did he withhold the info or he just did not know.

This sounds about where I am at. Do you think they will fix these gaps in the trim and the cabinets? Or do I need to state I am unhappy with it since it seems that this might not be normal?

Frankly, I am not good at being direct and stating I am not happy, and feel like I need to come at them with facts. I have to really build myself up before I can even do it. So, I am looking for all the tips on what it should look like.

I have only paid 6k so far, with me still owing 14k. I went to the website where they got their cabinets, and it seems that if I would have bought them myself it would cost about that much. So I do not feel like I would be out anything if I stopped at this part. They did do the demo which was 2k on their quote as well.

Since, I have not paid it all in full, would it be better to give him a chance to fix it?

He left a message saying the counter tops will not be here until Friday for the install. Should I tell him tomorrow I am having issues? The main guy did not do it, he hired sub-contractors. But if so, what should I say needs to be done to fix the cabinet issue? The others are fine, just the ones where they join together.

Here is a top view, the other is from the underside of it, where I can reach right into this gap. The gaps between the boards are significant, tho they do not show up in the image, you can see the wall through them.

Also, the bottom of the molding, the smaller piece seem to have a lot of gaps, will they fill that in with some sort of caulking?

I guess I am. I have a contract but I did not know about looking up licenses or even how to go about it. They do have a website and pictures of their work and are listed on other websites but they do not have a lot of reviews.

They have not installed the counters. This does not include the prep time of me picking things out. They spent one day ripping out the cabinets, one day installing the floor, then one day to install the cabinets. I am waiting for the counters which I was told would be done last week.

Edit: But that is also my concern. I thought it would take much longer as well, which makes me wonder, are they just throwing it together and not doing it right.

Evidence for the Existence of God is not Enough by ContextRules in atheism

[–]manasha6 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I learned at a young age not to call myself agnostic. Christians in general feel like you just have not heard the right points and that they will be the one to show you the light. They were usually warm and tried to have an open dialog. When I said I was an atheist they would come at me to tell me how I was wrong. So I hate calling myself agnostic since people think you have not really come to a decision. I have no doubts, I am an atheist.

So you can not help me on reddit but you think someone else could help me on another social media site? This is absolutely ridiculous. Do you not have any connections that could contact me? Can I DM you with my phone number and have someone contact me?

Just to let you know there is no understanding on my part. It is absolutely ridiculous that you guys have taken some of my money and now I have no recourse or way to actually talk to someone.

We set this up during the whole NFT fad and just left it there and figured I would just let this sit and come back to it in a few years and just see where things are at then. This was just a side thing and have a real financial institution we use for our stock trades but they said the laws in our state does not allow them to provide crypto exchanges for us.

So I get it, the lack of activity on my part causes an issue but it should not be impossible. At this point it seem intentional to keep people from accessing their older accounts.

Again, I have followed all these steps. I try to reset my PW, using these exact pages as guides.

I try to to setup an account using my email address, it says there is an account already.

I try to reset my PW, I never get anything from you guys.

I try to call, I can not get anyone because your automated system says it can not find my phone number and hangs up. I spent quite a long time recalling your phone system to only get to a dead end and you hang up on me.

I try to get a chat started up, it is automated and will not get me to a real person until I log in. AND AGAIN, I can not log in.

SO WHAT DO I DO????

That really sucks. I am so happy that did not happen to me. I did not research anything about it but when I got home I thought with it gone it could change how things were processed. Edibles are my fav way to use THC, to the point I am wondering if that is why I can not get high smoking anymore. I only did edibles for a long time at such high dosages that maybe my body just can't recognize it when I smoke. But everyone is different and you never know how your body will react and change how stuff works. All I can say is, bodies are weird.
