Is installing a broken granite countertop without the client’s previous knowledge or approval common practice.
By on September 13th, 2011
I am having my kitchen remodeled, no new appliances supplied by the contractor, except for a microwave hood. It is costing just under $30,000, so I was really expecting a beautiful and functional kitchen. And I don’t have a dishwasher, so my sink will be very important to me. My contractor broke my granite counter top in two, right through the hole for my drop in sink, but installed it anyway while I was at work. No warning or discussion before he did this. The two pieces are misaligned by 1/16 of an inch in front and the crack itself is 1/8 inch wide with a large, unevenly filled chipped out area in front . He says it will look great, once he polishes it, but he had already installed the sink and plumbing without polishing it. There is already a prominent joint in the counter top, but unlike the joint, the crack is in a highly visible, very high use area. My contractor says all granite breaks like that and he absolutely refuses to replace it. He claims this is standard practice, that broken granite is no big deal. Is this really true. Is it really common practice to install broken counter tops without even telling the client you are going to do so before you do. I would never have agreed to a granite counter top if I had known granite was so fragile. The crack looks ugly and I worry that as time goes by, it will get wider and that the glue will wear down faster than the granite itself.
Why was my question about european kitchens reported.
By on September 12th, 2011
I asked why some people in European Countries like Germany take their kitchens with them when they move. And how did this custom get started. How could that offend anyone. Does yahoo delete anything that gets reported or do they actually read the question.

Have fun with this. I want something unusual, but not DISGUSTING. And please don’t suggest something you either 1.) wouldn’t eat yourself or 2.) haven’t tried it. I know the mind goes towards stir fry, but we had that tonight for dinner.so no stir fry please. Maybe something romantic. Maybe something I could put candles on the table & stuff.
Any help is appreciated. 
**Maybe something ethnic. I’m Puerto Rican, Dominican, Sicilian & Japanese & he is Haitian. Neither of us are picky.

What should I groceries should I buy for apartment.
By on September 8th, 2011
Okay, So I live in a 4 bedroom and 2 bathroom house with 6 other people. So there is limited space. I have one shelf in the kitchen pantry and very little space for cold items in the fridge. I don’t really know what I should buy because of the little space offered.
So far, on my grocery list, I have:
Bread
peanut butter
grape jelly
pepsi (12 pack)
chips
milk
cheese (for sandwiches)
and lunch meat
I can’t really think of anything else to buy. I’m afraid this is all I can buy. Any other suggestions.
With apartment limitations, what colors should I go with for my kitchen.
By on September 7th, 2011
I’ve just signed a new lease on my apartment for another year. It wasn’t my plan to live there that long, but now that I am I’m determined to make my apartment more my style so I don’t have to stare at white walls.
My first project is the kitchen and already I’m stuck. My cabinets are oak (I can’t stand oak), and my countertops are white/speckled and my appliances are white as well. I’m allowed to paint, but I can’t do anything to the cabinets, and with the oak I don’t want my kitchen to look country.
Can anyone recommend a good color scheme. I love retro styles and/or modern.Thanks.
How to Refinance someone elses property with POD.
By on September 6th, 2011
My mother has become disabled due to an AVM eruption in her brain since April 2011. We’ve been living with her since last year. I cannot afford to pay her mortgage payments, I’m only paying the Condo Fee which is roughly $600 alone. I have gotten a Power of Attorney from my mother since she can write for now. I forwarded the POD to her Mortgage Lender so they can speak to me about refinancing options. Is there anything else I can do . I had remodeled her home while we’ve been staying with her. Brand new kitchen & Bath and would hate to let it go.
She owes $30,000 more than the value on the condo which is about $150,000 now per her last yearly statement in January of this year. I am not sure what is worth now or if the value has come down more.
I am clueless as to what to do now. I need some help. Has anyone been in the same situation or similar.
My cats randomly started fighting.
By on September 5th, 2011
When I got home yesterday I sat down on the couch and after about half an hour I heard growling from behind the couch. My cat was trapped in a plastic bag, me and my mom started freaking out. We moved the couch and he just shot to the other side and freed himself from the plastic. He’s always been super skittish so it was nothing new to me. But then my other cat went after the one in the plastic bag. They were hissing and growling at each other. The cat that was stuck ran into the kitchen and hid on top of the cabinets. He didn’t come down all night so me and my mom tried to get him down, he finally came down in the middle of the night but he was scared. He is potty trained but he went to the bathroom on the floor because he was too scared to go to the bathroom. He hasn’t eaten and drank anything. They are both boys, neutered. We’ve had them both for about 5 years and they’ve been best buds.
What happened to make them so mad. What can I do to help, and how can I make the other one eat, drink, and use the bathroom.
