Setbacks

The new sink we ordered had a dent in one of the edges. It looked fine when we got it out of the box and glanced it over. When we went to install, it wouldn't lay flat against the counter because of the dent. It's taken almost a week for the replacement sink to come in. We're eating a healthy diet of take-out and frozen dinners and I'm getting tired of doing dishes in the bathroom sink.



I started priming the cabinets with Kilz. I had a bad feeling about it, so I tested it by scraping it a little with my fingernail. It came right off. After talking with the folks at the paint store, I learned that I have to use the oil based Kilz to go over the old polyurethane based finish on the cabinets. So, I'm scraping off all of the latex Kilz, sanding everything again, and dreading working with the oil based Kilz.

Jason went to hook up the dishwasher again and discovered that one of the previous homeowner's many, many rodents had chewed through the electric cord. Hot wires were exposed. Fanfreakintastic. So, more crap to replace because stupid, lazy people couldn't take care of their house. It's amazing that I haven't caught the house on fire.
