Cabinets are in. I must say I'm not particularly thrilled with the quality of the cabinets, nor the quality of the install. The quality of my Ikea cabinets at one third the price are nicer than these IMHO.
Those upper cabinets flanking the windows should have been a few inches wider.
Since modular cabinets are constructed in increments of 3", there may not be a wider cabinet. It looks like the cabinet to the right could have been 3" wider, and the one left of the window moved in to line up vertically with the base cabinet.
And the framing is off here. Originally there was not to be a cabinet here. That was changed after the drywall was already done
That looks like absolute crap.
They should have framed a 45 here. Also, the framing should have been a good inch further in to be flush with the cabinets.
That goes beyond being absolute crap. Actually having the soffit overhang the cabinets a bit is a good thing to allow for the uncertainties of cabinet manufacturing and more importantly the joys of sloppy framing wood and work. When I redid my Mom's kitchen, I think I had a 2" - 3" overhang, and then I put 1/4-round molding at the cabinet/soffit interface to cover up any gaps and the like.
You can barely see the receptacles and switches being so high. You have to literally bent down to see them when you are standing at the counter top.
Oh good grief, that makes the receptacles and switches difficult to reach, and from the looks of them there is no way the trim plates would fit without surgery, which will make them look even crappier. I sure hope the electrician fed the receptacles from the bottom so they can be lowered easier; but I'll bet the first receptacle is fed from either the top or the bottom, and the downstream ones are fed with wire running horizontally through the stud bays. That is going to be a royal pain to fix and still meet code.
Just don't know about the construction of the base cabinets
Before the counter top and sink get installed, I'd get those tip out drawer kits to turn those false drawer fronts on the sink base cabinet into useful space. I have them in the kitchen and laundry galley and they are great for storing small items like sponges, small brushes, and the like. You can install them later; but it's a royal PITA to do that while lying on your back. Don't ask me how I know. Otherwise that looks to be standard fare for base cabinet construction.
Hopefully the drawers can be adjusted to correct
I hope so too as that is complete garbage.
Closeup of hinge. No where near the adjustment possibilities of my Ikea cabinets.
That looks similar to the cheap Grass brand hinges Merillat used on our cabinets. If so, the self closing spring eventually fails too as we have a few cabinets that no longer self close.
The guy that put in the under counter vent way back when, apparently did not know the distance to the toe panel. So once they cut back the tin, if left a nice spot in the floor that needs a tile piece fitted to it.
We have a similar vent in our Master Bathroom, and our builder did the same crappy job as yours. I ended up wedging a wood spacer in ours to get it to fit the opening better.
