I am having custom cabinets built in my kitchen of my 1934 home. The cabinet maker also agreed to install crown molding and beadbord wainscoting. There is one very noticeable section of crown molding that is about 3/8" off over a window between two cabinets. When I pointed it out to him he said that my walls are not square and the ceiling is off...short of floating a section of ceiling there is nothing that can be done; I'll just have to learn to live with it.

I was in the breakfast room today and there is a place where the cap molding on the beadbord is not level; it is off by 1/4". It, too, is very noticeable.

He is coming back today and I'm going to bring this to his attention. Am I being too picky? Is that just what I have to expect living in an old house? I paid good money for this job and I don't want to forever be looking at things that aren't right. Aren't there ways these can be fixed?
