She Said Today is the day we’re supposed to get our slate backsplash. Alas, it was only at 6:20 p.m. yesterday that I realize I’ve never had a tile delivery!!  I call Home Depot – the same one that’s been having all the computer glitches since having their system replaced.  It takes them a bit [...]

She Said The Latitude installers return to put in our Silestone backsplash.  Again.  Hopefully, the fabricators got it right, this time…. The window given to me was 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.  They arrive right in the middle, at 1:00.  One installer is the same as two weeks ago; the other is new.  I try [...]

She Said Didi didn’t manage to get back to me yesterday.  It’s entirely possible she didn’t get the message….  At 8:02 a.m., I call Home Depot to speak to Joanne. I explain the situation and that I was told I’d have ½ inch of “play”, but I don’t. Fortunately, they’ve recently developed and filled the [...]

She Said So, as I’m talking on the phone, at the opposite end of the room to the spot where my 36” Viking range needs to fit, I start looking and wondering about that space.  Is the counter overhang larger on the left side than on the right??  Call me paranoid (and believe me, you [...]

She Said It’s been two weeks since my Silestone measure (Why Silestone?  Check out the FAQs!) and the day has finally come…. Actually, it’s come and gone; the installation was supposed to be yesterday, but I received a call from Latitude (the installation company) last week; they send their installers from Toronto and it seems [...]
