The Super Official Homeowners Thread

[Sully]

Make them fix it. Getting any non-standard appliance down the road is a pain in the ass. The previous owners of my house had the same problem - baseboard and countertop in the way and they sent it and shoved that motherfucker in anyways, when it came out it was twisted in every direction and dented AF. Fortunately you couldnt see it with it in place. With my kitchen remodel we didnt put baseboard or trim on the wall and I cut the countertop 1/4" shorter on the other side, and it juuuuust barely squeeked in place without damaging anything.

Also relevant is adventures in home selling - my house is on the market and earlier today this eastern euro couple in their 50’s just came to the house asking if they could come in and see it, I have no idea where they came from - didnt see a car pull up. i told them to come back with their agent, i didnt want them in the house... i didnt know if they were real buyers or con artists/thieves. fucking bizarre. It was about 3pm so I have no idea how they would have known anyone was home.

Yeah our agent has been staying on top of them and dealing with most of that for us. Went by tonight and measured with counter tops on. Front edge of counter is just over 35.75. Back edge is 36". To wall. So the baseboard would still have to come off.

In other news, this was a spec house but because they wanted to get it off their books before end of the year, they allowed us to make a few changes to lower the price even more. One of the things was we selected a lower tier granite to save a pretty good chunk of change. Went over today and they had installed the original high tier granite. I thought it looked really cool and interesting over the one we picked (only had like 3 choices and this was what we settled on, not loved). So I was like score but told wife and she was unsure. We drive out and look in person. She absolutely hates it...so looks like they'll be ripping out all these counters and putting in what we ordered. From what my agent understands, the last section reserved for this style of house may be getting changed so there may be no more of our model built. So even if they could get the counter off unbroken, they'll have no use for it anymore. So I'm sure they'll be super thrilled with is going forward.
