Kitchen Reno Race 2014: Still anybody's game?

Has anyone "won" yet?  @bluesky?  The loser tile guys were supposed to come grout today, but I got a vague message from George the Granite Guy that sounds like he's backing out, not surprisingly.  He says they're short a driver and "he'll let me know."

I hate George. I hate him so much.

I think I missed a post.  So they put the backsplash up but didn't grout it??!

Yeah, they put it up but (correctly, I think) said it has to dry before they grout it.

LOL.  Honestly, I'm kind of being a dick at this point too.  I could probably grout it myself -- I've done stained glass mosaics and grouted with no problem.  I'm just kind of insisting that he do it since he screwed it up.  Plus, I don't want to do it myself and then have him coming around looking for his $100 in "gas money."  :-P

We are about a week behind because of the wonky ceiling. Contractor worked on it all week and it's a hundred times better. He is going to finish up pianiting the kitchen, DR and den this upcoming week and put in the new tile floors in kitchen and den and new hardwoods in the DR. Can lights are in. Still haven't made a final decision on patio door. Appliances getting ordered this week.

Cabinets are ready, they were going to deliver yesterday but we were heading out of town. I guess I'm still in last place LOL.

George the Granite Guy is officially not coming today. No word on when he will come. I need to find some sort of trophy for the winner. A golden whisk or something.
