I'm Floored!

They laid the linoleum today. The kitchen wasn't as bad as we thought it would be, but still not as nice as the hardwood will be when we get it.

There are two bubbles in the kitchen part, they'll have to be fixed.

The linoleum in the master bath, spare bath and laundry room look nice. I'm glad we got the brown diamonds instead of the plain squares... it draws on the color of the cabinets.

They also put the wonderboard up on the tub and shower in the master bath. They did a crummy job where it meets the top of the shower wall... there's a good 3" gap.

The tile was in also. Pretty much what we remembered, but we did expect them to be a bit bigger. We must have been thinking of 8x8 instead of 6x6, but 6x6 was the biggest we could get. It will be hard to tell how it will look until they put it all up.

Oven Cabinet Update:

The builder told my realtor that the cabinet installed is a UNIVERSAL cabinet and can be modified to fit a double oven. Basically, they're using the word "universal" to mean... yes we installed a single cabinet, but if you remove the two bottom drawers and cut the pieces of wood around them out... the double ovens will fit. Wouldn't it have made more sense to just install the double oven cabinet? So they said my installers should be able to do it, and they can contact the forino installers if they need help. Great.... so basically, rather than paying the $50 for installation, I'll be paying $150. When we bought the ovens, Queens Appliances told us to install would be $50, but if they had to do a lot of cutting and fitting it would cost $150. The deal kinda sucks, but at least we got $750 worth of crown moulding.

We also stopped at the Sears going out of business down the road. I wish we had stopped in a few days earlier... everything was 50-70% off. I was hoping they had some garage door openers in stock. Unfortunately they didn't. But we did pick up a sweet faucet for either the powder room or spare bathroom. Retail $150, bought for $50.
