What kind of cabinets?

Same color... It's an average sized kitchen so I only had to spend about $1800 on cabinets

Take some pix, bro.

Really. I'd like to see the progress.

Will do. My buddy does work during the day while I'm at work and I help him as soon as I'm off from work. We're looking at two weeks to finish everything.


I'll tackle the outside once I'm through with the inside. Bought a 3 bedroom townhouse in neshaminy valley (Bensalem). My daughter is in the Neshaminy school district so schools aren't a big deal.

Good looking color...I like it and also prefer the raised panel door look versus flat panel and others

Home Depot is a disorganized mess

Call ahead and tell them exactly what you want.  They'll get it and have it waiting for you at the contractor's entrance.

Sure...then they only have half the stuff at one store and half at another...then the cabinets I ordered are scratched and they don't have anymore...so I have to head back to the other store. My buddy is s contractor. He knows his shtein, he asks them a question and they sit there dumbfounded. They should all carry inventory wands so they know what's in stock. Everything we needed was of course on a top shelf and it takes a half hour to get someone to get it down.

Spent over $3k last night on materials. Get 10% off for being a Veteran, then I opened up a Home Depot card. 0% financing for two years on your first order.

I've never had a problem with them on projects I've worked on.  My buddy was the GM of the Daytona store for years, and when I did my replacement windows, I simply got all the sizes I needed, called ahead (gave them a day's notice) and when I went there the next morning, they were there ready to load.   I get what you're saying, though.  Big box stores are absolutely horrendous because the help they have is untrained, underpaid and couldn't give less of a shtein if you're satisfied with what they've sold you.

Worst part I forgot to mention was last night the guy assured me my buddy's name would be on the pick up list. He goes there today and it's not on the list. So I had to go sign for it after work costing a half day of getting the house done.

Oh my god, a whole half a day and it's all their fault.

Says the guy buying the cheapest shtein he can find from a faceless corporate giant, and counting on that to work out great.

Get a grip dude.

Oh I'm sorry master contractor why don't you enlighten me.

I have to finance because I don't have endless amounts of money. Unfortunately not all material supply centers offer 0% financing for two years.

Quit crying.
