Hi all,
This forum has proved of great assistance to me while having our kitchen installed. We have just had old kitchen ripped out and
cabinets installed and are currently awaiting stone to be cut for benchtops.
Here are some before and progress photos:

We are overall pretty happy the way things are going but have a few niggling issues such as:
- nail punctured through into cabinet (it is at the back of a corner cavity so wont be noticed but still annoying) PHOTO: https://www.dropbox.com/s/begcic1imwioh6h/IMAG0353.jpg
- small scratches and dents on polyurethane pantry doors during delivery and installation
- chipped edge on rangehood cabinet PHOTO: https://www.dropbox.com/s/lm1k8sd8oufjfa8/IMAG0338.jpg
- rough corners on bulkhead PHOTO: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vl2gu31gadiukm3/IMAG0344.jpg
- uneven heights on corners PHOTO: https://www.dropbox.com/s/eqv9rp6cbmojqet/IMAG0347.jpg
- unfinished shadowline, not sure if this will be noticeable once benchtops go on? PHOTO: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5w0vqcyekwydusx/IMAG0336.jpg
Are we just being precious or should we be bringing up these issues to get repaired? And when should we be doing this? We still need benchtops installed and electrician and plumber to come and connect everything. Should we just wait and provide a list at end in case other problems emerge, or get issues resolved as we identify them?
What other things should we be inspecting for quality before completion of kitchen? Neither my wife or myself are very handy so any advice would help a lot!
Thanks
