A little remodeling

So we spent three weeks in the month of August with basically no kitchen. We had a contractor come to the house to give an estimate for granite and the estimate sounded great, so he measured our kitchen and told us he would be here the next week to install. So we decided we would get new appliances while we were doing this and go ahead and take the old ones out. Then the day came that he was suppose to show up and what do you know, he was a NO SHOW. Jayson called and he told us that his grandmother was very sick and that he was in San Antonio with her, but he would be her in a couple of days. Well a couple of days went buy and still a no show. He called and said that his grandmother passed away and it would be at least a week before he would show up. Ok, we were getting a little frustrated, because we had no stove and no microwave, and with a toddler, it is kind of hard to function without those two appliances. So finally they did show on Labor Day (that Monday) about 3:00 in the afternoon to demolish what was left of the kitchen. The next day, they did not show up until 6:30p.m. to install only one piece of granite and stayed until 11:30 that night. So they did come back the next day at 5:30 to finish installing the rest of the granite and again did not leave until 11:30 that night. Then the guy wanted to do out back splash and we told him NO, thinking to ourselves - thank god our granite is finally in, but leave!!! So we had Carpet Onc install our back splash after waiting about a week for all the supplies to come in, but at least we could count on them showing up. So this little remodel turned into a month from hell!
Here are the before pictures
