Ugh! It's the worst!
Okay, it's not the worst, but it's not the best.
We're so close to having it finished, but the builder is playing funny buggers. Instead of paying for a tiler to install a proper backsplash, they paid a dude to do a tiny strip of backsplash and then told us anything bigger was out of scope. It looked crazy so we insisted, which means they wouldn't re-install our appliances... so we've gotten a plumber to re-install the dishwasher, but this guy said that our pipes are 'dangerous' and is insisting we either pay $1000 to temporarily fix things up, or $10,000 to replace all our plumbing. This isn't a huge surprise, the original inspection 2 years ago suggested that the plumbing needed re-doing but we've been putting it off because we would like to actually knock this house down and build in a couple of years. So, we were hoping to do the final kitchen inspection tomorrow, but I'm not sure if that's possible now.

Holy crap. That sounds crazy, and very hectic haha. If you're planning on knocking it down, why are you redoing stuff now?
Ha, not quite as hectic as trying to fit two teenagers and an old guy in our half-house for a week... so much fighting...
We're only redoing stuff because we had a flood in Jan. This is just the insurance fix.
Aah, got it. That sounds like a blast! Haha. Too bad that money can't go to your new place
