More cabinet delays

I didn't see an email the cabinet lady sent Friday afternoon until Saturday. I had stopped working at 1pm and didn't get back on my computer. The "replacement cabinet will be here in 2 weeks" now is changing to 3 weeks. There goes our schedule for the countertops to get installed. We are so mad and disgusted. How about, since this is the 3rd cabinet to try and get right, the mfg ship it overnight?!

The other evening, Dh had gone over to that wood working guys place to talk and then didn't get to stay but a few minutes, since the refrigerator was being delivered. So, we both went back over there after dinner last night. What a nice little place he has. His house sets in the woods on the edge of a clearing. His nice lawn and trees, all looks like a little park in the woods. And his little house is so tidy and decorated so cute. I was so surprised for a 72 year old guy, haha. All his cabinets and table, etc he made himself. Rustic but very nice stuff. He does really good work. So, we ended up spending 2 hours there, visiting with him. And he showed me his chickens :) While we were in his living room, the next thing you know he's got 5 does out in his front yard eating from plates of corn he leaves out for them. He says the come just about every evening. Then a wild turkey showed up, like he owned the place. The does didn't like him much, LOL. So, neat.

This guy also does wood burning pictures/scenes in wood. He had a whole bunch that he had done up and framed, that he sells. He's very talented and that's how he supplements his small social security income, along with building tables and such. His ears must have been ringing because as I'm typing this out, DH's phone he left on the desk, rang, and it was this guy.

We/I decided to use our lumber for the table....cracks be damned! I'm sure it will turn out great and I like rustic, so if it cracks, it cracks. Plus, just about everyone, from those of you who commented on my post, to a couple of my friends I texted with, said to use our wood and have the cracks.

This morning I've just been vacuuming our little carpet area for our "bedroom/office" in the shop and cleaned the bathroom. It stopped raining and the sun is starting to come out.  Of course, after our neighbors did an Easter egg hunt with their grandkids.

It seems I can do nothing right for DH, of late. On our way grocery shopping he's telling me a story of a conversation with the two guys installing our staircase railing (the framers). One is coming back to finish it up on Monday. He was the one who last Fall, missed out when we bbq'd steaks for the framers and roofers, so DH told me he told him he's taking him out to lunch on Monday, for steak. LOL. So, I buy our usual groceries and steak for 2....as I'm putting them away in our little fridge he says didn't you get enough so I can do steak on Monday? No...you said you were going out to eat..?! Then he's complaining because I don't have any cash in my wallet. I should always have $20...I said I did just have $20...I gave it to YOU a couple of days ago to rent the hammer drill! I just haven't had time to get more cash, already. Geez. It's not like there's a bank/ATM down the road. Then he's mad because I didn't see the email about the cabinets until Saturday. Like, what was going to be done about it with 3 business hours left in the day Friday? It's not like the cabinet lady every answers her phone or returns calls timely, anyway.
