kitchen remodeling is not for the easily annoyed

When I ordered my faucet on Monday, the website stated "in stock and ships within 1 day"
So when my faucet didn't arrive I emailed the company this morning and was told that it is on back order for 12 WEEKS !!!
I called about 20 kitchen faucet retailers and managed to find someone who had it in stock. I had to get a different handle style and finish... polished stainless steel which of course cost $136 more.

I'm not sure I like the handle style, but I can buy replacement handles from Kohler for under $35.00
