One other point - if the conditions that encouraged the moss growth don't change, it will grow back. I'm guessing the area it's growing in is shady. The shade combined with humidity/dampness are prime conditions for it to do well.

A cabinet maker might go to all of the trouble to sand and restain dinged pieces if he's the one who built the cabinets, but there is no way your average cabinet installer would ever do that. No one is as careful as a homeowner who has all the time in the world to be very careful with their own stuff. A paid installer who has another job to move onto quickly will remove the moldings, yes, but if you want the dings to end up on the molding rather than the cabinets, you'd better plan on reordering all of the molding. Cabinets are not like off the rack clothing that you can take back to Macy's and return if you don't like it. If you change your mind after you sign off on the design, purchase and install the cabinets, then anything different will cost you. Installation is the last step in the chain and it constitutes complete acceptance of the already approved design. This is yet another reason why it's very important to be there when your cabinets are installed. If the OP had been there when the first piece of crown went up and didn't like it, it would have been an easy matter to put that on hold, order the solid stock, pay a bit extra to the installer, and reschedule him for just the crown. In a cheap cabinet line and a cheap labor market, the changes discussed would be $1100-$1200. In a medium high cabinet line in an expensive labor market, you could be talking 4-5K. So, I'd say that 2K is on the low side for the changes. A good compromise for all concerns would be Kompy's suggestion that the OP pay the actual costs. However, don't think that it will magically save you hundreds of dollars. Cabinet markups aren't as high as most people seem to think!

It's most likely a very common physiological condition called 'oedema', and plants in containers in the Bay Area would be rather prone to the condition because of the weather. From one of my other posts: Oedema is a physiological disorder that can affect all plants. It occurs when the plant takes up more water than it can rid itself of via the process of transpiration. In afflicted plants, internal water pressure (turgidity) can become so high that some leaf cells rupture or the contents of cells leak into inter-cellular spaces in leaf tissue. Oedema is most often driven by excessive water retention in the soil, but cool temperatures, high humidity levels, low light conditions, soil compaction, or partial defoliation can individually or collectively be additional contributors, as can anything else that slows transpiration. As well, nutritional deficiencies of Ca and Mg are known contributors to the malady. Symptoms vary by plant, but can include wet or weepy areas on the foliage, blisters that turn from white or tan to dark brown or black, then gradually turn corky/ scaly/ ridged, and wart-like or gall-like bumpy growth.

Thanks guys. Found something else.. on the bottom of the slatted frame, I found black spots that I can wipe of with some water. Unfortunately the steel frame that is attached to the bed and on which the slatted frame lays, also has some black spots.. My first impression is that it's mold. But wouldn't it be easy to wipe off the black spots from the steel frame? Unfortunately not the case.. Anybody got an idea? https://www.dropbox.com/s/pp7nck2d58g8wfh/IMG_4589.PNG?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/qylghrfir3316am/IMG_4590.PNG?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/fb3szmi78c5nent/IMG_4591.PNG?dl=0
