Ok. Months ago I ordered a recessed wall niche from invitinghome.com. They took forever to ship, and when it arrived it wasn't a recessed niche. Jeff and I thought it might be our mistake in ordering, so we decided to just keep it to use elsewhere in the house and ordered a recessed one. And we waited. And waited.
And waited a long time. This company doens't even send confirmation emails so that you can track your order. I wouldn't buy anything from them again. I've said it before, but sometimes the least expensive option isn't necessarily the best one. And not being able to track the package and know when the item will arrive? Well, that doesn't work out well when you have contractors waiting for the materials who are on a schedule. This should have been installed a month ago. It makes us look irresponsible, but it's really not our fault. There is no such thing as good customer service anymore. It happens, but it is rare unfortunately.
So finally after several emails and phone calls Jeff was able to reach someone at invitinghome.com. The niche arrived. Damaged. It had nicks and scrapes in it, but the workers need this--so they patched it. And Jeff informs me last night that I have to paint it.
The workers gave him touch up spray for the cabinets so it will match, but he forgot to bring it home. His dad picked it up this afternoon and dropped it off (his parents are so wonderful), and I got the supplies ready. I was hesitant because of the windy weather and leaves flying around, but this was needed a month ago so I have no time to waste. Comet wanted to help:
I tried my best. The spray paint tip kept clogging and I couldn't get an even coat because of the can and because of the wind. I kept having to pick out bits of foliage from the finish. I like DIY stuff, but not like this. I like to take my time and do things right.
