Kitchen Reno: Lists of Do-Overs

Here's a list of everything we've had to "do-over" so far:

  1. ordering kitchen cabinets [see previous post: 2 cabinets were six inches too short!]
  2. placing electrical runs for under cabinet lights: electrician will be here next week to RE-install since he installed where this is an open shelf
  3. vent for range hood: Jamey moved the vent two weekends ago, before dry wall crew came to dry wall the big hole behind the range. Then last week our contractor got a set of revised plans from cabinet people and the measurements for that wall were 9 inches off. Now Jamey has to move the vent pipe nine inches to the left. He's not a happy camper.
  4. drywall x2
  5. painting. This isn't a complete do-over, but my estimates about where paint would show and would not show were off...in some locations rather drastically. Remembered the side wall under the desk area, but completely forgot the back wall. A small area behind the fridge is unpainted. Shoulda just painted the whole dang thing.
