Install gone wrong ?
Comments (36)Update, Stopped in and talked with Cabinet shop owner about imperfections and how things have went. Even he said " I don't know why the installed can't get it right ? Also he offered new doors and drawer fronts to resolve imperfection. + he offered 30% off, Or he'd come and get his Cabinets and 100% refund. There already installed, though I'll have to wait and see if they can actually straighten up the bases. If not, I'll go with the EZ Level system W Laser Level for the base's and Do it myself ! For all the inconvenience and problems, I'll accept the discount as I like the look of the cabinets. As for the Granite guy he could make the piece on the L of the stove work by bringing the corner out towards the stove a little, as I will do a ceramic back splash later. However he may prefer to come and get his Granite and 100% refund. We'll see....See MoreNeed help - wallpaper removal gone wrong!
Comments (22)Last night I finished removing all the wallpaper. I scored it, sprayed with water and a little dish detergent, scraped, and pulled. I don't think that this stuff would ever have disintegrated. If I sprayed and came back 5 minutes later, it was dry. I could not see any way to saturate it, but I kept spraying as I worked on it. Most of it came off OK, but there are a lot of places where the top layer of drywall came with it. The drywall guy is coming tomorrow and I'm hopeful that he can fix it. I am glad that I removed it, especially since I found a small spot of mold. I also took a ceiling sample for asbestos testing even though the guys working on my house didn't think it was necessary. I hope they are right, but $95.00 is a small price for peace of mind. I'll give another update after the next step. Thanks for all the suggestions!...See MoreWhat has gone wrong?
Comments (20)Everyone, I just wanted to give you an update on the dwarf alberta spruce you had given me advice about. We blasted them with water and kept them well watered all summer. Here they are this spring! They look happy and green again! The brown patches are almost all gone. We will continue to water them this season. Thank you so much for having responded to my question. I wanted to share with you the fruits of sharing your gardening knowledge! It was so helpful. Thank you again:)!...See MoreHELP! Corian install gone wrong!
Comments (60)Joseph: I enjoy reading your well informed comments. I have white Corian countertops in a kitchen that was nicely remodeled by prior owners. I have a 10 and 1/2 foot run of countertop on the longest side. No visible-not even mildly visible- seaming. It has a sink plopped down in the middle and no visible seams. The little strip that runs vertically for 1 inch under the countertop and has to make some angles/turns does have visible seams. But they are quite neat and snug. I also have Corian in the main bath with an integrated Corian sink. It has a 6 foot run with mitered edges and an integrated sink of Corian. Very pretty , seemingly very durable and again, no seams. Maybe we are just lucky in our contractors in OKLA. I hope so as I am getting ready to have serious masonry and concrete work done -storm damage-what a mess.... Anyway the Corian is great and has stood up to teenagers cutting things sans cutting board-lectures followed but it buffed out. Handymen also had to trim it a bit to install a new range which theoretically had the same dimensions exactly as the prior range. Ha ! The deliverymen just left it in the middle of the room . The guys I called are friends and not the highest end professionals but they cut the Corian and wrestled with the range for me. I love the stuff. Heaven knows what I would have had to endure with a tight granite or quartz opening. I don't even want to think about it ! It does not permanently stain either. Easter egg dyeing with a 6 year old just last week. It all comes out. Wine, tomatoes, oils ditto. Cannot recommend it highly enough....See Morenskeca
