Nice job again. Cheers! You`re probably exhausted and aren`t looking to do it again. Have a beer! :GUINNESS:

Are you joking? This is Rain Man.

no. I`m pretty new to this forum and don`t know anyone here at all. Kitchen looks nice to me. Don`t know if he/she did it all themselves or had a contractor do it(didn`t read all the posts either). sorry for my ignorance.

If I tried to redo a kitchen myself, I'd be posting update pictures like this.

The backsplash is in, and it looks good despite the fact that GRANITE DEPOT ON DAHLIA STREET IN DENVER screwed up the cutting. I'm trying to decide now whether I'm going to continue battling with them to lower the bill or just move on.

In other news, we had the initial punch list meeting today, which was very convenient because last night the breaker to the new master bedroom blew and we lost power all night. That doesn't make me feel good.

And in perhaps the most inspiring news of all, my new computerized doorbell is up and working. I haven't had time to find a really good doorbell noise, so right now whenever anyone rings the doorbell, it's my voice saying, "Hey! There's somebody at the door!" I love this new doorbell.

Cool. The Historical Committee knows all about this, I presume?

I'm also surprised I don't see anything about GRANITE DEPOT ON DAHLIA STREET IN DENVER in your top 10 list.

For about two hours during the inspection, I'll be playing "Westminster Chimes." Then perhaps I'll go with the music from Psycho.

Keep in mind what city my bRainman resides within.

I worked for a contractor outside of Denver, and delt with several businesses like granite, door manufacturers etc.

Oh...and the people.
"You've just blasted 80 ton of rock, poured a foundation, framed and sheeted the house and drywalled the 4000 sq' interior.....Could we just put a small rooooooooom under the foundation for my son to play in"

I"m not BSing...that quote happend.

Same house...lady buys these custom, solid oak double wide front doors....probably 3-4K....then decides they should be "distressed". The custom door company was going to charge the contractor a bazillion dollars to "distress" the wood.....We put bolts/nots on the end of a couple of chains, beat the piss out of it....paid vandalism....and she loved it.

CaliRado......

It sounds like its time for the planet to go to work on the googledom of granite depot of Denver Colorado, and how they treat their customers nearly as poorly and unethically as Eschelon Communications.

I think the Planet should have at least a thread, with the soul intention for customer review of companies, and use our power as a group to punish poor business practices.

The planet could bring the world of a shitty company to its knees.

However, the owner of the business is going to get a politely rude letter from me stating that his salesperson valued $445 more than the reputation of the business, and that I'm reluctantly going to begin my "public information" campaign tomorrow.

I think I saw an ad on TV for www.angieslist dot com

This site was specifically targeted as a location to give good or bad feedback, and search what others have had to say about carpeters, plumbers, companies in your area.

Fillet them there for starters. You've already got the post typed...copy, past, send.

The funny thing is that I just spoke on a conference panel this week about customer service and what constitutes excellent customer service. We talked about how to handle customer complaints and how to prevent customer complaints, and what defines good customer service. In handling complaints, the common theme that I heard was that it's better to not do battle with a customer, even if they're not reasonable, because in the long run you're better off with a happy customer than a mad customer.
