Ok so this story starts with an ending, well sort of. The granite is in.



That said, they showed up about 6 hours after they said they would, start tossing the granite in, none of the edges are polished very well, there's no backsplash so I ask about that, "oh there's no backsplash on this order". HA HA, bullshit says 4 inch right on this ******* workorder. "oh, oh ok i'll call them".



4 hours goes by, tops are in and they say they are almost done, they are ******* around in one corner, another 2 hours goes by, still ******* around in the corner. They say ok, pack up their **** and leave. I get to looking and they ******* chipped the corner, about a 1 inch long chip and glued the ********** back in and sanded on it.... not only does the chip look like **** but the unpolished area around it looks just as bad.



Other then that they look good, but chips and headaches included not near a $3500 job.



Oh yea, so one of the guatamalens asks my dad if he can have a red bull and he says ok, THEY TOOK 7 of them, two dudes drank 7 redbulls. First off it's pretty rude to ask if you can drink something that expensive when you are working in their home, but wutever, 7 is way over the limit. They stole our ******* broom and the worst damn part is I can't properly mount the sink because they lost the mounting clips, when I asked the dude about it he just says he didn't see any clips.



For wutever reason, they took my sink when they measure the granite, i assumed it would be installed when they got here, they cut the ******* hole in our kitchen and got dust all over, looks like a sand storm blew through here. They also managed to cut the hole a little too big, so the sink BARELY covers the hole.

i helped a neighbor remodel his kitchen. they decided to go with a 8 ft or so island and of course marble tops. the island section was one whole 500lb slab. took us a while to get it in the house and very thankful we didn't chip or shatter it.... good times, and you should have poisoned the rebull.

damn homie, you need to start getting firm with those guys. I'd call the company/contractor/whoever was responsible for it and tell them you want it redone correctly.

Yea well on a side note my captains license that I spent thousands of dollars and hours of studying for was declined by the coast guard because of my high blood pressure.



So I'm about ready to run through traffic and hope a big bus comes along.

You got denied because of high blood pressure? Whats the max pressure? you need to take like 4 aspirin, then get your blood pressure tests. That will work! also what kind of captains license (weight)?

knowing your luck phins, you won't get hit by traffic. how can so much **** happen to one person?

Ive been thinking about going through all the training to get my certs and licenses since I've had so much sea time in the past 3 years. But I'm still not a big fan of boats... I hate them but I love them at the same time. lol... I am however going to learn how to sail this summer. Thats something I really want to learn how to do.
