I install closet systems in our bedroom closets. Unfortunately, they don’t work as designed. The drawers don’t fully open or close because the wheels on the drawer slides collide with the screws that attach the rails to the cabinets. I’m so angry about the poor quality engineering that I’m thinking about uninstalling the whole thing and returning the entire system.

The flooring company is returning tomorrow to replace the faulty product. This laundry room was completely finished! But today I had to uninstall the appliances, cabinets, baseboards, trim, and doors. This is so depressing.

The flooring company ripped out the failed vinyl flooring today. However, there is no way to get rid of the adhesive underneath it. So they covered it with a thin layer of self-leveling concrete. I told them how self-leveling concrete has failed in the basement in the past. They checked, and rechecked with the product manufacturer and engineers to make sure this concrete won’t fail this time. Fingers crossed.

The flooring installers did a sloppy job around the floor drain and sump pump cover. Why don’t installers show any craftsmanship?
