The kitchen saga continues

End of week 2. Where shall I begin?

The cooker that should have been delivered next Wednesday won't be coming until the week after. Thus its fitting and that of the hood is delayed. (Will we have it for Christmas do you think?)

The new fridge didn't fit in the gap. Slav, our Ukrainian fitter, has had to remove skirting tiles.

The glass doors that were missing from the original order have been fitted - but now we've discovered they're the wrong colour. New replacements will be fitted the same time as the cooker.

We won't be able to open the dishwasher if we have the proper handle i.e. the same as all the rest, on the cupboard next to it. Slav is going to try to find an alternative handle as similar as possible. (And we paid 180 'beeping' pounds for those handles!)

Aren't these the sort of things kitchen designers are supposed to think about?!!

Claim compensation ;-)

But apart from that, how disappointing. I hope they sort it out soon.

Oh dear what a saga. Kitchen renovation is bad enough when all goes well but this is all too much.
