It is always something--

We are waiting on the company that manufactured the glass doors to send us replacement parts. That is the major hold up on completing this bathroom project. Estimated completion time was one week- by contractor. However, we were more realistic and expected it to be 2-3 weeks. Today is day 39 :{

The shower doors really are our fault. When we picked out the doors at Lowe's, they only had one set of the doors we wanted in stock. The box was a mess when they pulled it out and it had "20% off" scribbled on it. We looked into the box and it was then determined that the only thing that was wrong was that the blister pack, that had the installation hardware, was missing. The man explained that we could call their 800 number and get a replacement one and his manager said that he would give us a 40% discount. I quickly did the calculations and then we checked over the doors once again before we agreed to the proposal. I saw that the top header  had a scratch from where the employee had cut into the box to inspect it. I realized that the scratched side faced the ceiling so no one would ever see it anyway. But I decided to ask for 50% off to see if they would go for it. They did.
We went away thinking that we got a great deal. Well, we actually did. I called the company and they told me the hardware pack was back-ordered for 28 days. It came in 7 days. Whoo hoo we were so happy. However, when we went to have the contractor put them in, he found that the top and bottom header were both twisted and did not lay flat. I was going to return the doors and get a new one but it seemed that they said the parts were expected in 7 days. Since the other parts came so quickly, I expected these to be Fed-Exed just as quickly. OK- that has not been the case.

The new toilet was taller so we needed a different length "thingy" to attach it to the water supply. The new vanity was a different size so  the water supply was not attaching properly. The new door hinges were brass and our whole house was silver- so that was changed out with the old door- however one of the hinges has gone AWOL. I bought the wrong threshold.  I originally was going to paint our old vanity and we would reuse it. But the paint that was recommended to be quicker (had primer in it already)- took so long to dry and it was still tacky 5 days later when I returned it. I sanded it down to do it over and then realizing we had 50 other things to get done- we bought a new vanity instead.

We just wanted it done!!
