If anyone has a story to share about how their kitchen contractor handled cabinet problems, I'd like to hear it...
I'm having my kitchen redone and the carpenter is in the midst of hanging the cabinets. We've discovered that the general contractor wrote one thing on the plans and ordered another thing. In particular, one wall cabinet is 6" taller than it should be and one base cabinet, which should be 18" deep, not the usual 24" deep, is, in fact, 24" deep. The order form used by the contractor has these mistakes on it, so it isn't the cabinet makers fault.
The contractor and the carpenter are floating this trial balloon: they'll cut 6" off the top of the one, and 6" off the back of the other, and make them look right. My view is that the wall cabinet will look like someone cut 6" off the top, and the change to the base cabinet won't show, but it will be weaker, which matters since it contains three substantial drawers (which will be "fixed" as well). What's more, I paid a fortune for custom cabinets and I would like custom cabinets made to the specification we agreed on.
Anyone care to predict how this will unfold from here?
Thanks for any thoughts.
