Another Snafu

This week we went to Hampton's. We went here 11 years ago when we remodeled the kitchen, and got great service. Steve was off Wed., and I had already researched online which Merrilat cabinet I wanted. Dan had dropped off a kitchen layout for the salesperson to work w/. She was very helpful and is designing the kitchen on the computer for us to see. I have a hard time visualizing. I'm hoping she'll call today and email it to me. I spent a lot of time yesterday comparing what we will have to what we have now. We will probably also get the bathroom vanities here. Steve was oogling the garage stuff Hampton's has now. I had to tell him that was well off in the future.

Sooo, I stopped by the house yesterday, while Dan was shoveling off the roof, to drop off some LS invoices. Tar paper today maybe, shingles? - we have no idea. The big Snafu is the garage door. He had called me around noon to say that the company had come to install the garage door and it is the wrong size. What did you order - he says to me. Uhhhh - a garage door. I know we specified an 18 ft width, but I do not remember being asked about the height. It is framed for an 8ft, and a 7ft was ordered. Of course, it was a special order, because we had windows added. Restocking fee is 50%. We can reframe for a 7ft, pay the restocking fee, or buy both and hope Fleming can sell the other one. Steve was livid last night. This is not our fault, he grumbled. So he is calling this morning, to complain. The salesperson should have checked w/ Dan for the dimensions. I await the call from Steve to see how it went.

Mantra - "It will be okay." I nearly had a panic attack yesterday afternoon thinking about it, and I had to talk myself down. Everything always works out. Stay tuned for the next episode!
