Open and shut. We had some great people help us during this process, which really makes the irritating ones stand out.
We have been waiting for weeks on one pantry door and one piece of trim for the cabinets. They were somehow left off the order and our rep had no ability (or interest) in getting them faster. She called last week and said they would be done, and that the shipping people would call with delivery times. Fine.The week goes by, and I call the factory (they're built locally) to check in. Danny calls me back and says yes they're done, but the rep has taken them out of the shop. I waste a couple more days tracking her down and getting her to bring them. You'd think that this would be some sort of customer service call, delivering materials herself, but she drops the boxes at the door and scurries back to her car before i can even say my insincere 'thanks'.
So here it is Monday, and Jovan returns for less than an hour's work. If nothing else, the dog was very happy to see him. I think she might miss the company even if she doesn't miss the banging. Its not a very dramatic finish, but its nice to have all the pieces in place, even though we're still figuring out where everything goes.
We also put the dining room back together on Sunday. There still a few boxes to unpack and (always) more things to buy, but I think we can safely say this process is behind us. It's a shame we can't afford a vacation, because I could really use one about now.
