Well, I won’t say that it is the same as saving a child from a burning house. But, Andy, without this web site that you created and keep alive. And the good peeps who participate. Deb may have found herself having to live with that crappy workmanship.Deb, I am glad that you will get resolution to this debacle. Shame on the original hackricator.

Johnny,
Fact is, this economy has created “hackricators” everywhere.Its amazing how many times now I am called to look at a job to see if it can be fixed. Most times I just tell the people you got what you paid for, you did get your monies worth. It really pisses them off though. They think if for 1/2 price they can get a perfect job.
I really didn’t see anything on Deb’s job that I have not seen in person with other fabs jobs or seen in some displays in home centers. I mirror cut all my seams, some takes the easy way and glue from factory edges, some glue right off a table saw…
The reason I got into solid surface was because of a bad fab job. I built a cherry set of cabinets and the homeowner paid a fortune to get the best company to do her solid surface. It sucked. I could see glue lines everywhere. I knew there was a better way… and I found it.
Kelsey,
I couldnt agree more.
Before I would start coddling her, it would be interseting to here the fabricators side of the story. Theres always two sides to the story.
What happened before she chose him? I didnt see any threads from Deb here on fabnet asking about quality workmanship or what things should look like previous to making her desision. She says she based her decision on a recomendation from a contractor and a realtor. But never said she went to look at any of this fabricators work.
Its very possable that neither one of them know what quality workmanship looks like. So this fabricator is one of those guys who will give you what you pay for.
If anything this thread has shown what gluing from a factory edge may look like, weather it be on Debs job or kowboys bathroom.
