Rainy days and Thursdays always get me down...

Yeah, I know it's supposed to be "Mondays" but these days it's every day that gets me down.

The stove and fridge were delivered this morning. No word on if they are damaged or not (like the dishwasher is). Flooring contractors are still working, rumour is they have most of the bedroom area done.

The cabinet installers, yes, METRIC CONSTRUCTION, idiots that they are, have installed doors that open in the WRONG DIRECTION. Ah yes, just when you think people can't get any more idiotic, Metric comes along and just wipes that thought out of your mind. There was a filler strip added to the right of the pantry cabinet door, because if the door opened, the kitchen designer was concerned that with the depth of the handle, there wouldn't be enough clearance between the door and the wall for the shelves inside the cabinet to pull out. Did you read that? Between the DOOR and the WALL. Metric decided that it was going to go the other way. I guess they are taking artisic license now. Now, you may not think that it's a big deal, however the only reason that filler strip was put in was for the door opening toward the wall. Now, if you want to get into that cabinet, you have to a) walk AROUND the door to get into it and b) wedge yourself in the 18" space between the door and the wall to get into the cabinet. Below are pictures of the way it should be, and the way METRIC CONSTRUCTION managed to again screw up the most basic of tasks.
