Kitchen Renovation: a snafu

I worked from home today. Not sure that was a good thing. Turns out when you're home and there are contractors in your house you hear every under-the-breath mutter and expletive. It might be better to get from Point A to Point C, and not be privy to the detours it took to get past Point B.

However, today I was along for the ride around Point B. Our lovely 30-inch pantry cabinet is slightly too big. Someone mis-measured. It appears to have been the designer from the distributor, though I think a zillion different people measured and re-measured. We are talking about being off by less than 1/2". At first they were talking about replacing the drywall that the pantry is against with thinner drywall. But the owner of the company doing the remodel wasn't comfortable with that. He thought it would still be too tight. As it stands now, he is going to try to get the company to custom manufacture a 28.5" pantry cabinet for us. If they won't, I guess we'll get a new one that's a standard 27" size. Either way, we won't need to pay for it. It'll be disappointing if we have to go down to 27" though I guess in the grand scheme of things, 3" won't make that much of a difference...

Stay tuned...

In the meantime, there's some cabinets in our kitchen!!
