The Kitchen's Finished? I think not.

We were told on Friday morning that the worker bees would be done that day, and the kitchen was essentially finished, and we could start moving back in over the weekend. Well, their version of "finished" and mine are a bit different. What's not finished? Well, let's start with missing handles.






The shelves are missing from the appliance garages...



The front panel of the fridge is missing, apparently 3 weeks away...



The tile guy is missing; he was supposed to be here last Thursday but is AWOL...



The hood fan won't be here for a while, but no one can tell us how long...



The toe kick in front of the dishwasher is notably absent...



Then there's the electrical, whether it be switches or lights (which only got ordered last week)...






The venting for the fridge is a funny colour...



Then there's the back door...



So I'm not of the opinion that they're "finished." Still, we migrated out of the basement, and started to experience life in our new space. Some things work well; some don't (a depressingly long list). We also noticed some pretty serious problems. For instance, compare the way the grain of the cabinets lines up in the upper cabinets with the lack of alignment of the lower:



We hope the doors are just on in the wrong order, but part of me worries that some are drilled on the wrong side.

Finished? I think not. In addition to the above, the pantries are all filled with tools and stuff, meaning we couldn't really move any food in. We thought about unpacking, but think it prudent to remain patient, and do nothing more until they are ACTUALLY finished.
