Cabinotch damage

I emailed Matt at Cabinotch today about the damaged parts. He was very understanding and assured me that they would get the parts remade and sent out ASAP.

I still need to go over all the parts this weekend to make sure there is no other damage that won't be hidden

Permit

Sally called the county trying to find out if we needed a permit to have the stove electricity/gas supply moved.  After being forward to someone (she did not get a name), he told her that if we were hiring a professional to handle the work, they would be responsible for getting a permit.....We will have to see what the contractors we get to quote the work say about it.

Inspection


We opened up the pallets and checked out the cabinet parts.

I was surprised that all the parts were just in one big box all mixed up. There was no protection around any of them. They were free to bump and bounce around into each other. I have seen several videos that show the parts for a cabinet coming together wrapped up and protected.

So it looks like there is some damage to a couple parts.

It is hard to see in the images, but this is the worst problem.   The face frame is damaged deep enough that it can not be sanded out.  It is going to need to be replaced.


This the one side (bottom) of our tall pantry cabinet.  I think it has the most damage and looks the worst, but it might not effect us much since it will be covered by the refrigerator.  

Here are a few other images of the damage to different parts.  I will have to give the sales rep a call in the morning to see what can be done about the worst damage.





Lumber delivered


Lumber came in from The Hardwood Store of N.C. today.   They were not kidding,  this is some really nice Alder.   22 -10 foot pieces with widths ranging from 6-8 inches.





It fit into the minivan perfectly. Thanks to the guys at work for helping unload it all.

The wood will have get acclimated to the house for a few weeks before I start working the wood.  That will give me time to planer sled built.

Cabinotch delivered

Delivery went pretty well.  Two packages arrived on a full size 18-wheeler.  They were able to get it unloaded and used a jack to move it into the garage.

I need Sheldon's duplicator

So i need to be in two place at the same time tomorrow....I guess I should not have crossed my fingers.

FedEx just called and the 755 lbs. Cabinotch order will be delivered at home between 11 and 3 tomorrow.

Old Diminion Freight will be delivering 355 lbs to work at about the same tomorrow.


Where is my wood?

Looks like the Alder from The Hardwood Store of N.C. did not ship on Monday as promised (Tuesday either).    We checked this morning and there has been no charge on the discover card yet either.

I called Cheryl this morning and she said the order was ready to go and will go out today.   Fingers crossed that we will get it tomorrow (Thursday).
