Our kitchen remodel was scheduled to be done around November 1st. It's now December 8th and we do have cabinets, but with no drawers or doors. Yesterday the contractor brought over the granite tile which we selected on August 28th. To our dismay it was polished absolute black, and not the honed finish we selected. The polished look doesn't go well with the backsplash tile we ordered.

We have an email record of the tile number we chose. He ordered the tile on the telephone and has no proof that the correct tile was ordered. He said that the tile dealer won't take back all the tile which he has edged. He has been telling us about all the hours he spent in polishing the edges. He apologized and said that he will "eat the cost".

We didn't make Thanksgiving , but maybe our kitchen will be ready for Easter. Time to get more propane cylinders for the Coleman stove.
