Another day, another hour on hold with IKEA (actually, I logged in about 3 hours today and killed my cell phone battery!).
Managed to accomplish keeping one person on the line for more than a minute and may have accomplished getting our missing cabinet delivered on Sunday (we'll see...)
Also, finally got a "case number." Now I really exist and my problems are real and valid! I'm starting to understand the system now!
On the flip side, the elves were busy while I was at work--much was accomplished today in apartment no. 5F. Several more cabinets were assembled, the kitchen ceiling (and where the soffits were removed) were dry-walled and spackled. A tile-like floor piece was installed to even out the floor (I had no idea we had a 3" slope from one side to the other!). Every chair I own is piled in the living room, but space is opening up in the second bedroom where the IKEA boxes have been stored. As usual, dust and dirt is almost non-existent. Our contractor is extra careful to leave our apartment clean and organized at the end of the day. (He is here with his guys from 9am-5pm; These are the co-op rules).
Tomorrow, Ben and I are off to Lowes for backsplash subway tiles and Porcelain floor tiles as well as to IKEA to return a defective wall cabinet and pick up missing screws. Hopefully the looming "snow storm" won't keep us from our mission!!! I might need one of those IKEA cinnamon rolls!
