I've got it, now what should I do with it?
Comments (3)The decision has been made. Hubby called and although he didn't admit that getting the box was a good idea (he would never give me the satisfaction) he said he had been thinking about using it to store the kindling. Since it has a lid on it the kindling would stay dry and it would also keep it more tidy. I think I can live with that. Although I was kinda thinking of how to make the coffin idea work .......See MoreWANTED: I've got something -- but I don't know what it is!
Comments (20)Oh Alison....you must be getting off work soon....but then again, I know election coverage must be exciting today and probably taking longer hours at work. I'm covering my eyes I don't want to know the results! Of the election, that is. Not the box!...See MoreI'm sorry, but I'm too upset to wait
Comments (18)Thanks so much, all of you. You know, my carpenter said several times, "I'm sure there's a solution to this. I just don't know what it is. Why don't you call a cabinet shop - they must have seen this before." I think I couldn't hear it because I was too upset. The cabinet company won't work - it's Ikea. (That's another reason why I've been upset about this. I see money flying out the window, and my budget is very tight already.) But there is a custom cabinet shop nearby that does gorgeous work. (I would have gone with them had I been able to afford it.) Maybe someone there will be willing to take the job. Bmorepanic, I agree with you - they shouldn't have installed the counter. Unfortunately, the installers relied on their templater's measurements, and had the counter installed before they discovered the problem. It was my own fault that I ordered a cooktop that's too large for the cabinet, but if the cooktop cutout had been made correctly, I would have discovered the issue during dry-fitting, when there was time for my carpenter to fix it. Boxerpups, I discovered that Microtrim site, but it specifically says that the trim is just aesthetic - it supplies no support. Footballmom, I had the same idea. If I can't find a finish carpenter who will try to remove the excess cabinet, I will ask the granite people if they'll glue some strips on to make the opening smaller. I'm feeling so much better after reading the posts by people who think it can be done. (And after sleeping, of course!) I just wish I didn't have to go to work, so I could start calling around right now!...See Morehey kt, i've got something to say (pic)
