Hell’s Kitchen!

Nope I’m not going to talk about Chef Ramsay and how bad he is, ‘cause I don’t think he’s all that bad. I actually like him. I enjoy watching those morons being yelled at because they don’t do their jobs right. Oh how I wish!! Once, only once! To let a real dumbass know how deep in shit he/she is! Joy, pure and simple joy. But it’s not for me.

If you’ve been reading my blog you know by now that we are having some fucked up, issues with our builder re. our kitchen. That is/was actually the major pain in our butts. Thursday, as promised, the cabinetmaker showed up and fixed our fridge hole. They had to cut some cabinets, take off the counter top, etc. but in the end we had a 1.5” wider hole! Woohoo!

See here, the little white gap, that’s how much space we needed to get our fridge in! And for those of you who think an inch doesn’t make that much of a difference, I beg to differ!

Friday morning a carpenter showed up for fix the baseboard, followed by a painter to “touch up” the repairs. Friday night, Hubby and I decided to wait until Saturday to move the fridge back in place. To move it out of the kitchen wasn’t an easy task. We had to remove the doors, the drawer and slide it to the dinning room. Our fridge is fucking big, that’s all I have to say about that!

Saturday morning we decide to do our errands first and before putting away the groceries we would move the fridge. Finally, after 51 days we would have the kitchen we designed! Hum, not quite!

Hubby touched the pipe coming out of the wall to feed the water to the fridge, when we started hearing “pschhhhh”. WTF? Where is this coming from? Hubby ran down to the garage and turned the water main off. The noise stopped. Damn it! Could we have a leak?! That can’t be! This is fucking unreal! Let’s just say that Hubby was beyond himself. We tried to call the contractor, their plumber, no answer. Of course not, it’s Saturday after all! So we left them a message saying that we were calling a plumber because we couldn’t be without water for the weekend.

We did call a plumber. In order to find the cause of the sound he had to make a hole in our freshly painted wall. FUCK!!!

He cut the wall and this is what he saw…

Do you see the two long nails? Well they were in the fucking pipe! Do you see the water dripping? The space between the two walls is soaking wet! The carpenter stapled through our water pipe for the fridge when he re-installed the baseboard!

The plumber fixed it and $251.82 later we were leakless and still not able to put our mutha fuckin’ fridge in its place!

This is one big fuckin’ nightmare! And I’m starting to be really fed up… can you tell?!

I can't believe the moron nailed through the pipe! GAH! How stupid. You should send him the bill. I hope you someday get to enjoy your kitchen.

Oh man, oh man, oh man. Stories like this are the reason I have no desire to build a house. Hang in there. You're going to have a fabulous kitchen, hopefully sooner rather than later. :)

Holy crap, what an idiot to nail through the pipe! I feel your pain especially now that I'm having problems with the Crapmobile. Again. I hope you're finally able to enjoy your kitchen very soon.
