Life's Tidbits

When we toured the condo, we eventually ended up buying, I didn’t notice the cabinets didn’t have hardware on them.  In fact I am not even sure I would have ever noticed they were missing (until we moved in) unless the husband had pointed it out.  At first we assumed the hardware just hadn’t been installed yet; we were wrong.  Apparently the builder purposely didn’t add knobs to the cabinets. In his experience buyers “don’t usually like” the hardware he chooses and therefore all the units in the building come sans knobs in the kitchen.

This missing knobs tidbit also showed up on the report from the home inspector.  The seller agreed to have the hardware installed for us if we purchased and provided the knobs prior to closing.  Knobs were at the very bottom of our to do list in the weeks prior to closing. We had to start packing, work, attend a wedding, travel to NY for a family event and oh so much more. As you can imagine the whole not having hardware in the kitchen didn’t really take precedent.
