Nope. Can't afford that one. It's a KitchenAid.

Thanks so much!

Yes. That is correct. I even did under 6' and it's about the same. I measured the area in front of the fridge. I didn't move the fridge to measure under it. I was trying to find a similar Workmanship Standards document for California but couldn't find it. I will call the contractors...

yes, i understand that now. but is it acceptable as the fridge is tilted? the fact that it's flooring in a new construction that bothers me most. so if it were your home, is this something reasonable that you would accept? Thank you again for all your comments. I have learned a lot already...

got it. thank you. i appreciate that. that makes more sense to me when you explain it that way in terms of responsibility. the installer did already re-do the subfloor prep (because there was none before) and did put the floor back in without the "depressions". so this would then be...

so the builder and the installer came. the installer said that they only deal with "levels of flatness" and they used a 10-foot level to make sure things are level. still a bizarre thing to me.

Hi guys, so here's the update: Two weeks ago they came back and pulled out all flooring except the area for the fridge, and used a self-leveler which basically spread across 4 areas on the floor. They put the floor back in and it's no longer moving like it did. However, the fridge came in a...

Thank you both btw. I am going to report back as to what the subcontractor says. I think the point was made in which - regardless of whose fault it is - they just need to figure it out and fix my problem. Those politics should be their business, and all I need is the end result. I am...

Gotcha. That's something I will need to consider before assigning blame. So I will need to understand their situation as well. I had thought the builder was stuck in between (but it's still his job to QA the thing before final delivery), but the sub and myself now seem to be stuck...

Thank you. I won't lift the floor myself, that's for sure. I want the subcontractor to do it himself and have my third party there at the same time. I think that's the safest way to do it. But thank you for that clarification on who's supposed to prepare the subfloor. That's been a question...

Thank you. When I have the inspector in I will ask them to inspect the leftovers as well just to make sure there are no product issues, then we can go into lifting the floor. I appreciate your help!

Thanks. I do have some leftover ones. But the issue is still the depression. What's causing it? The one in the model is so solid - why would mine be so flimsy? I was told by some folks that the subflooring may be a huge issue if the prep work was not done right. The original flooring...

Thanks Ernesto - I understand what you mean here, but here's the problem. You shouldn't be stepping on the floor feeling like there is a gaping hole under it. In addition, if I am stepping on it, someone across from me could see ripples that are way beyond the 1/8 of an inch that is allowed...

Thank you! The builder has asked the manufacturer rep to come out already, so I will keep that in mind. So the players are: - the builder: who i am dealing with mainly. - the subcontractor: who installed the floors. - the manufacturer: who will come out soon. I did tell the builder that I...

Thanks so much! I actually did find that inspector last night and sent him an email, so I'll see when he responds. But thank you for the tip on getting reimbursement! This is great. Well, the manufacturer is supposed to come out after the new year as well, so I will see what he says. I...
