I was so confident I would be ready for an inspection after I received this one last delivery I emailed my contact at the health department today about getting on his schedule.
When I ordered the refrigerator I knew it was going to be a snug fit. I'd visualized (ADHD superpower) how they should be able to tilt the fridge and roll it through the threshold despite the space constraint imposed by the hallway. I expected it to be a difficult but doable task. And it worked...kind of...
What I hadn't accounted for was a delivery team that would rely on the refrigerators casters rather than a dolly which might have provided the little extra lift they need to keep the sharp corners from putting gouges in my new floor. As they pushed it through the door and lifted it upright onto its casters my celebration quickly turned to a blank stare and nearly useless statement "my new floor...".
Part of me wanted to cry, the kitchen is so close to being ready. But this is just a little setback not a major issue.
The delivery driver submitted an incident to their dispatch. Once my work meetings wrapped up I submitted a claim as well. Tomorrow I'll call the flooring company to see what can be done.
I'd planned to spend the evening getting everything set up but I'll pause and rest until I know what repairs will entail.
