    I love your explanation regarding the sink debacle. My husband who is well versed in electrical, plumbing and various mechanicals has been telling me to be vocal about what is not right when dealing with various contractors/subs. Our first home he renovated the house himself from kitchens, bathrooms, main floor renovations of paint and refinishing wood flooring. We moved into another home and knew we were going to renovate. He fired about five contractors for various reasons such as unqualified workers, not pulling permits,etc. His concern is should he not be here on this earth that I am prepared to handle things around the home. Although not expected, this was truly a valuable piece of footage for those who may not know or need to know what can happen and how to handle it. A big thank you for that!

    My wife and I enjoyed Reality Renovision as our Friday Night date - Michelle really brought her talents in making the project beautiful. You both are great together on camera and a cute couple (I could not have gotten my wife to watch another building video if it were not for Michelle. I really appreciated showing how you handled the whole sink issue, using live video and real emotion. I think a lot of DIYers might have just accepted a contractor's error. Explaining the sign-off process was key. As a longtime follower and fan Jeff, thank you to all who work hard to bring your DIY videos to us. It's great to highlight vendors and manufacturers. Keep the videos coming!

    Jeff, watching your interaction with that man was like looking in a mirror. Honestly, I could feel my face getting red just watching it. I've been there, far too often. Nothing makes me want to shake the snot out of someone like dealing with incompetence. Even worse, someone who feels the need to blame others for the mistake. My response is usually, "You're here, don't pass the buck to someone else who's NOT here as if that's going to make me less irritated or cause me to spare you my indignation. You're here, so take it!" LOL, ain't that life though? Thanks for all the videos guys, I really appreciate them. They've helped me make better purchases and FAR less mistakes. If you're ever in St. Louis, My wife and I owe you and yours a beer.......or two...well three, yea three. Thanks again.

    Hi Jeff, fairly new subscriber and wanted to say I wish I had your video's a few years ago. I had some work done by a local renovator and for the last 2 years I have been upgrading and repairing his or their work. I do appreciate your truths about renovations. Things don't always run smoothly and WOW did I ever hear you when you reacted to the word "normally". One of the reactions I had when I was told by the plumber that the work was done and had to call him back to actually attach the drain line to the shower drain. Who would have thought you have to explain that to the plumber. That's my rant. (1 of many) Keep up the video's, really enjoy seeing your work. Love the kitchen too, Thanks.

    When I ordered granite for my kitchen counters, the fabricator took the sink and template to their factory after lazer measuring the area for the counters. The granite was cut and the under mount sink was attached, probably glued, to the granite in their factory and reinforced with undercounter brackets once the counter was installed. The quartz counters you got should have been as smooth as a babies bottom. Granite on the other hand is a natural product cut from a slab and can have some tiny irregularities on the surface. Love your videos. They are very informative.

    Love your channel. We are remodeling and repairing several things in our house. Thank you for all you share to help your viewers. We are tackling redoing our kitchen. All wallpaper removed (3 layers) then removed all upper cabinets. Currently working on removing vinyl flooring which is going slowly. Cabinet people coming soon to get the measurements done. We are doing base cabinets and floating shelves. It is definitely a work in progress. We are keeping out countertop with sink in it until cabinets are delivered. So many things revealed when we took out the cabinets. Three types of wood and the cabinets were older than the house. They had been cut down to fit. We found 2 more patterns of wallpaper. House was built in 1955. It will so nice when it is all done. We had some set backs due to unusual winter here in Oklahoma. Two major ice/snow events on top of pandemic. We love all your tips for us homeowners.

That guy should have said "we will buy you a new countertop and fix it properly free of charge, since it is our f*** up" instead of "well normally what would happen..." you guys screwed up, own up to it. You either cut the hole to the template provided or to the sink itself, that's it, end of story. You have more patience than I do. Probably because you have seen it all.

They never dealt with composite boards before, but regardless made wrong cuts on four different boards. These boards aren't cheap, neither was the gas I did to drive to get the new boards for them to screw it up again. Eventually we did the deck ourselves with the help of a relative who has built decks before. The only thing the deck company did better than mr "NORMALLY" is they apologized.
