It's not just temp idiots in the furniture industry, or gen x'ers. :lol
I swear to God my head is literally going to pop off at my jackass moron builder. I appreciate that the shit is really design oriented, but what difference does it make if you CAN'T STOP ****ING EVERYTHING UP :bang I closed early on this loft knowing it'd screw me, but they are paying me every day not to live there. Not my primary concern.
First we had to wait until the Berloni kitchen came in from Italy. Fine. It came, looked good, so they could cut the counter. But two doors opened improperly banging the range and stainless hood. One was put in wrong so you can't open the corner swinging door. Fine, easy fix.
Floor is screwed up so I tell them to redo it (it was already redone once). It's polished concrete that gets sandblasted and then clearcoated, but the clearcoat was sealing improperly. They redo it. It's equally screwed up. I tell them to do it again. Needs 48 hours to cure properly. Kitchen doors are fixed at least.
Counter comes in, it's got some kind of stains on it that won't come of with stone cleaner that was put there by the builders. Arg. Expensive ass Caeserstone(engineered quartz) that comes from Israel.
We go to inspect it and THANK GOD the floor is finally right, but they dinged the shit out of the walls and any number of other surfaces. Oh well, at least the floor is right. After three tries, it looked awesome. Oh yeah, the kitchen doors are back to banging and are screwed up from hitting the stainless. New chip in the cabinet above the fridge.
Go back to see if they fixed the counter today, it's got more shit all over it, (looks like someone spilled some kind of sealant meant for the floor on the counter). This includes portions of the counter affixed with caulking to stainless steel structural components. This means to take the counter off, they'll be screwing up a several hundred pound 9 foot tall 3" piece of stainless steel from Italy.
Best of all, after taking 3 tries to fix the floor, they tried to use some orbital polisher on it and completely ****ed it up. Like RUINED. It looks like swirl marks from a brillo pad. Let's go for number 4 so I still can't move in and I have to be out by the 30th. And oh yeah, they put several scratches in the engineered Bamboo floor I paid for upstairs.
:rolleyes
That's just the cliffnotes. But whatever. They've got about 48 hours to fix most of this before I go Bruce Banner, turn green, and rip someones head off. I just don't get it. It's like everytime they fix one problem, they create 6 more. I guess nobody gives a shit anymore though, eh?
I understand this is a part of having a structure built but these are NOT hard things. You should be able to assemble kitchen cabinets. You should be able to make appliances level. I've spent a month listening to excuses, being patient, and saying "no problem, just get it done and get it done right before the 30th". Well time is up...
