Cabinets - Some Miscommunication

I got the opportunity to compare the installed cabinets against my Notice To Proceed submission. Most cabinets were fine, with some minor dimensional variances, but the kitchen island was not. We had planned a 48" x 33" island, with the cabinet fronts on the long, or 48" faces. To accomplish that I'd specified one row of cabinets that was reduced depth to 12" and had full height doors and no drawers. We planned to use this for glassware and it was right across from the dishwasher / sink for easy access. The cabinets on the other side of the island were both to be reduced depth to 21". One was to be 18" wide to use as a small sink base, while the other was to be 24" with three pot drawers. There was a 6" filler.

I found that four 18" deep by 21" wide cabinets had been installed, with drawers. This also meant that the plumbing was in the wrong position for the sink. I talked briefly to the cabinet installer who called my builder. After review of my NTP plans he agreed that the cabinets were wrong and would be changed out. There was no issue with fixing it. We caught it before the measurements for the counter tops were made. Pringle will have to sort out where the miscommunication occurred, and it might even be with me, but we'll get the cabinet configuration for the island that we wanted.

The bathroom cabinets were installed in the Master Bath and the Guest Bath. The Powder Room cabinet came in 3" too short, so will also have to be reordered.

We'll have to see what the impact is on closing date. The cabinets have a three week lead time, so should be in on October 15th or 16th. If the other trades will work around the missing cabinets, then we could end up with no slippage.

The window labels were all removed and the windows were given a first cleaning. They'll have to be cleaned again before closing, but do look much better.

They started locking the house up on Friday evening, so we'll not have as easy access to check on progress. However, it's good timing, as we are going away to visit Judi's Dad and "vacation" for the next week or so. I have had some comments that I'm retired and thus on vacation all the time now, but it will mean a change of pace / scenery. My builder said that he would email to me with progress next week.
