Wrong grout color - need opinions!
Comments (10)I like it but I really like the contrast with subway tiles. If you don't want it to stand out then change it they you want to have it. If you don't like then get it redone because it will bother you. I don't know if you could take the tile down once it is grouted without damaging the tile. I am not at all experienced in this area though. I am experienced in the oops department though and make sure you get it so you love it.

Comments (31)NC Cowgirl, the first Shaw sink we had was a piece of work. You could visually see how "wonky" it was. We sat it in the cab base, put a bucket under it and did some test draining. Cab guy shimmed it the best he could, but it was never gonna drain from the right side. I decided to get another sink and luckily I had purchased from my local plumbing supply store. They took wonky one back and gave me another sink which drains okay. I do recommend having a sprayer with any Shaw sink. But as I mentioned, our near perfect cut out in our sink cabinet was no more. Ajard, I'm sorry but there's no way you can have those gaps on the side of your sink. It's nuts. As I mentioned, mine is certainly not perfect, but it was not the fault of my cabinet guy. We tried caulk to fill the gaps as a first resort. Benjamin Moore made the caulk to match my cream cabinet color. We decided if that did not satisfy me, we would go to Plan B. But, it was fine...not perfect, but fine. If I had a camera, I would take a pic to show you, but hubby has it with him. I feel for you and hope you find an acceptable resolution. Good Luck! pup...See MoreHVAC install gone wrong -help getting out of carpet?
Comments (14)I don't see how that can be PVC primer. I'm no expert, just a DIY, but I've never seen bright blue PVC primer. My first thought was blue RTV sealant. But the way it's apparently run down one wall doesn't suggest RTV. It looks more like some kind of paint. The marks on the carpet also suggest that he set something that had been coated with whatever it is right on the carpet. What was he thinking? Regardless of what it is or what he was thinking, there's no excuse for this kind of sloppy, shoddy work. Serious question - do you think that the installer might have been drunk or high? You don't really say what you've done about this. You probably should have called the HVAC company and raised holy howdy the day after he left. If it's been a few weeks, they can probably argue that something else caused it. Hey, you have a toddler, so they can always blame the kid. :( Still, it can't hurt to have a quick chat with your lawyer. Sometimes a phone call from a suit is all it takes to get a company's attention. The common perception is that the low bidder will usually do a poor job. My experience has been that many factors affect the bid, and that there isn't anything close to 100% inverse correlation between the bid amount and the job quality. Notably, you can get solid gold references and still end up with a crummy job....See MoreJust noticed half of the just installed subway tile are wrong color
