Caveat Emptor.......*
Just when we thought it was
safe to go back in the kitchen, and just when I thought I could put this blogging episode to bed.......
Was that a bit of an
acrimonious telephonic discussion to be heard between client and owner of the
kitchen supplier, where there rather strong words flung from both sides ... yes
I dare say STRONG WORDS (read rather bad loud language).
And was it heard that said
client must now accept that the supplier while giving a product that is to say
sub-standard and we must accept it....... correct ..... indeed yes!
The fridge does not fit
because the kitchen supplier measured wrong will the kitchen supplier give at least the amount
in the form of a discount to the effect of at least the difference between full
list price and their cost of the new fridge that has to be purchased due to the
significant fault on behalf of the kitchen supplier ..... HELL NO!!!
His solution is to cut down
the size of the existing drawers and cupboards to almost dwarf size so that the
current fridge can be accommodated, now let me back track a bit at this stage,
during a face to face discussion the kitchen supplier agreed that cutting down the size
of the drawers and cupboards would look rather ridiculous, however when in the
safety of his office and over a telephone call suddenly he takes an about turn
and says that the cut down is the only real option or we can purchase a new
fridge THROUGH HIM ( I think not, wouldn’t trust him to boil me an egg out of
it) and he would give it to us at cost - now excuse me, maybe I am not being
very bright - but at cost means it is still going to COST me something....... I
have to cough up more money ..... does he suffer NOOO!!!!!!
It was then agreed that we
would meet on site, Saturday Morning 9 o'clock, does he turn up ....NO the
gutless wimp / owner sends the designer who screwed up in the first place to
face the music, or rather the wrath of the client.
Anyhow to cut a rather long
now boring story down, there was a great weeping and gnashing of teeth over
much of the kitchen - over the rest of the house it was however fine and mild.

There were numerous other
faults with the work carried out, makes one want to go all medieval; build a
pyre with the wood from the kitchen, tie the suppliers to a stake in the center
of the pyre coat them in tar and sulphur and set them on fire, then I could
distribute marshmallows on sticks to the by now cheering crowd (there is always
a cheering crowd...... with marshmallows).
So the saga continues with
four doors and two drawer fronts back at the factory to be repaired /remade - haven’t
a clue which wouldn’t trust a word they tell me, the number of times the various
doors have been returned beggars belief, last time five went back, this time
six.

| Abracadabra *POOF* Doors gone |
It has also been brought to my attention that during our absence; Mr. Goat
on doing a small reconnaissance was horrified and perplexed as to the continuing
incompetence of a so-called kitchen designer, a situation I am sure will
continue for a while to come.

| "WT% ....where have the doors gone: |
 |
| "Lets see the Scullery" |
 |
| "OMG Here too!!!" |
 |
| "Shoo they put the freezer where the fridge was.....where I nearly was!!" |
