I've never heard of anyone waiting to stain cabinets after they've been installed. Besides not having the color picked out in time, why didn't they stain them before they installed them?
Doug & I were both "dumbfounded" by this decision as well. DFW Improveds protocol is to stain on site. The cabinet maker is not set up to stain at his facility. And the stain people on work on site. Lots and lots of taping and covering everything. We are having the same issue with getting the ceiling painted. The ceiling was to be painted after the can lighting was installed and ceiling drywall repairs were made. It would have been far easier to paint the ceiling without cabinets installed. Now the cabinets are installed and with them being much higher, there is not a lot of room to paint the ceiling above them.
Stay tuned for more on that saga. So the stain workers were back today to touch up some spots that were missed. It's coming together~but the order seems a little dysfunctional.
why did they have to put plastic outside?? the stain wouldn't get outside, would it??
Yes, they had the window and door open and the fumes/stain overspray had to have a place to go. Luckily it's been nice enough to leave the windows open and air out the place.
Cabinet stain smell is history, today's smell is BONDO - used to attach the granite.
