I knew this was going to be a headache before we even started. It has been about what I expected.
The contractor has been great but:
The shower doors didn't fit - 6 to 8 weeks to get a new one in.
It took forever to find the right fixtures, and I'm still looking for a longer hose for the shower.
The cabinets are not right. They have the right finish, but it was supposed to be clear maple, not distressed maple. One of the doors has a knothole clear through it.
The fronts for the closet were not made right.
The the box of the cabinet sitting on the vanity was supposed to be 12 inches shorter and the sides were supposed to extend down 12 inches below the box, so it rested on the counter top and had a cubby hole at the bottom.
The contractor estimated the job would take 3 weeks. We are 3 weeks in and still no floor, no shower door, and all the cabinet doors need to be changed out once they arrive - in 6 to 8 weeks.

We thought that the drywall work was finished and the torrent of drywall dust we've been living with was over. But - the on-line instructions for the floor show the thermostat requiring a 4"x4" box, which he installed. But the thermostat that came with the kit takes a single gang box - more sawing and sanding of drywall.








The good news is MrsWD and I took down the IKEA-like modular closet fixtures and rearranged them, painted the walls and ceiling, installed a new light fixture, and got it back together in one long weekend.
