At least,he didn't play a trick on ya and tell you to flip the breaker...turning off ALL the power to the kitchen (and in my house, most of the first floor as wel).

Thanks for the smile today. :)

Hey, at least you have something to blame it on. ;)

And the GC said nothing else? No smart remark, no little laugh, or perhaps a smile in his reply?
Hopefully that's the only little glitch you have. if it can be called that.

I can so relate to that!

Oh, no bpathome! No, thank goodness they didn't do that to me!

Hey, now, LL, don't go raining on my excuse! lol

I'm sure he had a good ol' chuckle over it, blfenton. And that's quite okay. He has a great sense of humor, which is one of the many reasons why we're so glad to be working with him.

There have been a few "this is what's planned but it can't be done that way because of..." moments but so far, they have been relatively few (thank goodness!) and I seem to be managing the on-the-spot decisions well enough. Or at least none of them have come back to haunt me yet. I'm a horrible second guesser of myself so that's bound to happen. DH has no qualms. He said he has absolute faith in my decisions. Foolish, foolish man. = )

Always happy to pass along giggles. I didn't want to be the only one laughing at myself.

LOL! Yep same thing happened to me. My husband (my GC) had just connected my new kitchen light switches a little different then I was used to.

That evening, I started cooking dinner. It was getting dark, so I tried the switch. Nothing happens. I say to myself...Hmmm, that's weird. Something must have tripped the breaker. Tried them again.... Yes I really did flip em all on, off, on, off....like that was going to work!

Now understand, I had been living in construction zone for like a year at that point. I think, oh well DH will be home any minute. I will just wait for him to deal with it.

Hubby gets home, walks in, and just as I was about to say...hey something is wrong with the electrical, he flips the switches. Boom, all the lights come on.

Yeah, I felt pretty stupid.... I forgot I had him switch the kitchen and living room switches. Duh! We laughed pretty hard on that one! :-D

Wait until you're in your new kitchen and reach for something in a cabinet that's no longer there!

What about remodel planning? I fretted and fretted over what we were going to do for drinking water. I thought we had an old Brita pitcher, but I couldn't find it. I didn't want to buy another just for the remodel... my sil was planning on buying a new one and I was coordinating with her to get one she liked etc... Demo day comes before I pick up the new pitcher... and my ds walks into the mudroom and gets water from the fridge in there. DUH! (I never use that water, so I had completely forgotten we had water in our extra fridge.)

LOL, rebunky and lawjedi (love your screen name)! Glad to know that my bonehead move has me in good company.

My GC and I had a good laugh about it today.

mimipadv, I think I'm going to draw up a "road map" for DH and DS2 (DS1 no longer at home) so that they can find things but also so that when they empty the DW, things go back where they're supposed to go.
