But our carpenter had installed the wall-hung cabinet and shelving the wrong way round. It&#8217;s done correctly on the opposing side of the room, but I suspect the carpenter had thought we&#8217;d been asking for mirror images. Our designer quickly spotted the mistake when he did his rounds this morning, and alerted us immediately of it and assured us he&#8217;ll have the carpenter rectify it if we want. We&#8217;ll have to make a choice; go with this (I&#8217;m actually alright with the cabinets and shelves being mirror opposites, but Ling isn&#8217;t LOL), or get it corrected but that might potentially mean some delays to our carpentry installation completion.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Something to think about for sure very soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day 32 of our home renovation project @ Minton, and Day 3 of carpentry installation.
