The butcher block counter for the kitchen was ordered about a month ago and delivered with the laminate that P installed a few weeks ago. Sadly, though, the monkeys at RONA proved a piece that was 12 inches too short. We called them and was promised delivery the following week ... but that didn't happen. In spite of phone call after phone call, RONA couldn't explain why the counter wasn't available. Two weeks later, they said that it was held up at their warehouse because shipments will not go out to stores until they read a certain dollar value. Hmm. Funny that the people at our local RONA didn't know that. Trying to keep frustration at bay, we agreed to return the too-short piece ourselves and pick up the new one at the same time. Delivery would have taken another week. To their credit, they did not charge us extra for the longer length ... however it doesn't come in the length we needed, so they sent one 12 inches too long. ARGHH.
It took forever to cut it with the skill saw (or some other type of saw? I don't know which) and there was great billows of sawdust and the smell of wood smoke, which normally is lovely but in my kitchen is quite alarming. Finally, VOILA! My amazing husband comes through again and provides a perfect finished product.
Ya wood ant have it any other way!! Great job, check it off the bucket list.
