Should I be concerned about these cabinets?
Our contractor has started building the base cabinets for our new kitchen! We're super excited, but very worn down at the whole process that it's been this far. So, I would like some advice...
I realize that the cabinets are not completed yet, but I wasn't sure if I should be concerned about the gaps that I see between the doors, on the side of the cabinet between the door and the cabinet wall, and also on the cabinet for the super Susan. I'm one that notices these small details, and I didn't notice any gaps at the showroom when I was looking at the cabinets.
I'm hoping that since this is still a work-in-progress that these gaps will be corrected. But I'm not sure if it's something that I should mention to the contractor now. The contractor has listened to my concerns before, but usually he reminds me that nothing has been finalized yet and not to worry.
(orry that the last two pictures have reoriented themselves. I'm not quite sure why, but hopefully you can still see what I am referring to.)
So, I just wanted to know if I am worrying over nothing? I will ask him when see him, but wanted your advice to reinforce or lessen my concern.

Should I be concerned about this?
Comments (5)I am using an organic potting mix that was stored outside. It starts out looking like a residue and then it clumps up. It rubs off fairly easily and it feels granular...like sand or salt. I cleaned up all the affected plants with a baking soda solution and that seems to have stopped it except for the one I moved outside and the white substance came back. I also noticed the tips of some leaves turning soft and browning. Is this botrytis?...See MoreShould I be concerned about AC leaking refrigerant & oil?
Comments (277)I'm not a big fan of oversizing the coil to increase SEER (that's why they do it) as it actually impairs dehumidification. It's not necessarily done to increase SEER, but to reach the rating that AHRI matches the equipment to. Ironically, this rating is just a number that if you use a certain set of equipment parts and pieces you 'should' hit the SEER number. It doesn't mean you 'will' hit the number, because proper installation is always the elusive variant. No matter how much or how little you want to realize this fact. A nice pretty install picture doesn't mean the system was 'installed properly'. But people, God bless them, don't look at things this way. They say 'company A' uses xyz brand and 'company B' uses xyz brand so it's the same brand so the outcome will be the same as in a 'properly installed HVAC system'. However, it doesn't work this way in the real world. You're not buying a toaster. Having a larger coil does not necessarily hurt dehumidification either. The whole purpose of dehumidification is removal of water from the air. A larger coil has more surface area in which to ring moisture from the air. BUT, the difference is proper to improper. As if there are condensate draining problems with the said coil, it can reintroduce the condensate (humidity) from the air that was removed back into the air from whence it came. So if this thread is good for anything, it's to show that what I mention repeatedly about 'proper' versus 'improper' goes much farther than most people understand. ---------------------------------------------- Deb, hopefully this time you get what you paid for.

Comments (8)And even within one species, there can be quite a bit of variation, just like the way kids from the same parents (or people in general ) may have different hair color, face shape, heights, etc. For instance, there are three red maples/Acer rubrum in my yard, and they turn different colors and drop leaves at different times: one dropped its leaves 4weeks ago, one 3 weeks ago, and one didn’t even turn color until two weeks ago, and it lost its leaves in the last few days. Similarly, even within the same species of oaks on my property, some ar bare, and some still have clinging leaves. It’s called genetic variability. So unless there are other problems you see, you can stop worrying....See MoreShould I be concerned about this black coloration and root girdling?

But keep in mind, the there will always be a small gap between the face frame and the door and the face frame and the drawer front. Typically they sit off the face from 3/16" to 1/4". You'll notice that the doors and drawers are fitted with silicone stem bumpers. They lesson the sound of a closing door or drawer. But they also keep the doors and drawer fronts proud of the cabinet face frame.
Look along the edge of the drawers in the picture below. You'll see that there's a gap. That's there by design and is normal.
