Its One Room Challenge Week 7 and there is no reason why I should not be done with this remodel. Sometimes in remodels you just cant get a win. I am finding that in this crazy covid time if you want anything custom the time frames are just, well…. forever. Custom tile… forever. Brass shower door hardware…. forever. Custom hinges for a custom cabinet…. forever. Here is the frustrating thing. There is nothing you can do.
Last week the shower door I ordered three months ago with 6-8 week timelines came in. Perfect timing to finish this project. Until the installer found out (as he was installing) that the company sent the wrong hinge. Everything else was correct except the door hinge. I use a glass company that comes out to , template and install. You tell them the finish and style you want and they order the parts. Well, wrong part ordered. The fix? Order the right part and overnight it. Well, the part is now not available until September.
The door hardware we ordered for the laundry cabinet keeps sending my emails that shipping has been backordered. Is a custom type of hinge that will be perfect for the space but its not something we can get locally.
I am feeling defeated today but that is often a reality in renovations they don’t fit perfectly into 8 week timelines. At least they don’t these days. My business partner (and hubby) is working hard to make it work. My glass company has come up with a temporary solution so we are pushing forward. Just know that I am doing everything I can to get it done. Until next week….
