Murphy’s Law must govern my life! Not big things going wrong, although there was the potential for something big.
The appliance guys come and start working and right off they notice that the oven isn’t gonna fit in the cabinet. This cabinet was ordered based on the spec of the oven so…WHAT?!?!? Anyway, problem averted by the appliance guys, G.A. Installations, offering to fix it, not free, I wouldn’t have expected it to be free. Thank God the opening was too small and not too big. I told the guy to make sure he measured twice and cut once! Then they go install the downdraft stove and the vent for it (in the floor) is about 6 inches too far…not fixable but not a showstopper, either. The mechanical guys will come back and create a vent in the correct location. THEN, the plumber switched the hot and cold valves under the sink so the dishwasher has to be connected to the cold water, for testing. Mr. Plumber will be coming back anyway to put in the fridge water line, which we forgot about, so its not a big problem. >whew<
The gravel underlayment for the pavers were delivered today…big truck, little street but the driver can really thread a needle. Definitely, I think that guys really love having to do ANYthing involving a bobcat! They are digging up dirt, putting the dirt in a pile, then putting the pile of dirt in a trailer and then spreading the gravel around. The landscaper was by and his guys were marking off where the pipes were going to be laid. Lots of coordination! I am very glad that we hired two companies that are very used to working together. We don’t have to be the go-betweens.
