BACK TO SQUARE ONE...

So, I finally got the calls this week that the wood flooring is in- it's being delivered today. Two days later, as I was standing in Lowe's buying the plywood for the floors, and baseboard for all the rooms, I got a call saying the cabinets are in- they're being delivered today too! OK, can I just say that I don't really like Lowe's services. I went there on Wednesday to return some stuff I had gotten- (medicine cabinet, curtain rod, cabinet handles, light etc) since I didn't have my receipts for all of that stuff, I had to have the refund put on a Lowe's card. Well, I rarely go to Lowe's so I decided to shop around and see what else I needed for the house while I was there so I could use the card and be done with it... Long story short... I ended up in the wood department and decided that I might as well get the plywood and baseboard there and have them deliver it instead of going to Home Depot to get it since I had the Lowe's refund card. At the store it worked out well. I set up the appointment for the wood to be delivered on Thursday. Too bad that didn't happen. I had also arranged to pick up my nephew Jordan on Thursday to come and help me take out the carpet in the front room & hallway. Lowe's told me the delivery would be here between 9 and noon so I came over here at 8:00 to cut out the carpet in the area I was going to have them put the wood. I went back home to watch a little TV and wait for Dad to get up to see if he would be at the house, or at least watch out for the delivery so I could go pick Jordan up- I told him I'd be there @ 10:00. Dad, who usually gets up by 8:30, didn't get up until 10:45. Anyway- it took Jordan and me about 3 hours to get the carpet up, the tacking up, sweep everything, put some of the smaller furniture in other rooms so we wouldn't have to keep moving it and haul the carpet out to the carport. Below are the pictures of what it looks like now.. (of course the office is now a mess because it became a "holding" room for the bench, coffee table etc..)I already miss it being all put together. I can hardly wait until it's all done! It won't be long now and I'll be moved in! YIPPEE!!!! So, on with the Lowe's DRAMA. So, I called there at 2:00 to let them know I hadn't gotten my delivery yet.. The guy I bought the stuff from said he saw them load it on the truck that morning, I would have it by the end of the day. I called back @ 4:30- still no delivery. The store manager said the truck still had 3 more deliveries to make so I waited... @ 6:00 when still no delivery was made.. I called back and talked to the store manager who then FINALLY looked up my information on the computer and said.. "Oh, it never ended up on the truck. I see it right here. the order was done right.. I'm not sure why it didn't get delivered." Are you kidding me? after 3 calls and making sure someone was at the house or it was being watched for the delivery ALL day!!!!!!! aGGGGGGGGGHhhhhhh What a joke. Needless to say- I will NOT ever have Lowe's do anything for me again.
