Yay! Update on the counters!

They brought it back this morning. it 99% fit...lol.

The contractor and BIL (who works at the lumberyard) said screw the factory and just sanded the edge down again themselves. It now fits. They're now screwing it together!

And my new faucet is pretty sweet too. :) Very classy actually.

And I love the undermount sink. Classes up the kitchen for sure.

The lumberyard is still working on my discount but BIL said it'd be worth my while. :)

I'll post some pics later when it's all together.

  • Hooray!  FINALLY some good news!  Is it butcher block?

  • I was reading yesterday mobile (and it's a pain to post) so .. Wahoo! Can't wait to see. I hope the discount is substantial. What a mess.

    What color did you end up going with?

    Count this as one reason I'm glad that my FIL is handy and he does stuff like this. I might have lost my shizz if Lowes had messed ours up. My FIL measured it, I sketched it and they ordered it. The only thing they did was add the cut for the sink and my FIL installed it all himself.

  • Thank goodness, I was worried about your sanity yesterday!

    Remember when they messed our countertop 2 times?? They had to remake and reship it. I was about to hurt someone.

    LOL. BIL and our contractor are really quite handy..so they figured it out on their own..thank God!

    The ridiculous part of this was the lumberyard estimator (who works with BIL) and the factory rep. were out here 3xs and each measured..so that's six measurements..it should've been right for the love! I would think for the money I spend two middle aged guys in the profession should've been able to use a tape measure effectively!
