Renovation Day 3
Today's worker came to my house around 9 am. He brought many tools for today.
After he arrived, the assembled cabinets started to find their right places. (It was super noisy, though! I couldn't focus on my work at all. I know he had to do it, but it was really noisy, and I was sorry for my neighbours.) The bottom cabinets were quickly done, but the upper cabinets weren't because of the ceiling.
It turned out our unit ceiling isn't flat; it's very slightly bent and sloped. As I had written before, this building is old(but not very old; it's almost the average age of the buildings in this city), so it was not surprising to me.
Now the problem is how to set the cabinets on the wall properly, even though we have this crooked surface. He struggled to find a better solution, and he explained to me that he would make the cabinets lower from the current position to avoid their doors scratching the ceiling when we open them.
As you imagine, it would be a big revision, so he just gave it up for today and went out.
On the other side, there was another problem.
I got an email from the contractor company. They said they will arrange for an electrician next week, and no idea about the plumber yet, so the other manager will call me back later. WHAT? Do you say that I have to stay without a kitchen over the weekend and for a week more? We've already spent a lot of money on taking out food!
They confirmed the construction will be finished in a week. And they changed their words. This is not the first time.
Originally, they were supposed to start my project at the end of November. I gave them enough time to set the date for my unit, so I had already waited for 2 months by then. But a week before the original date, when I checked the schedule, they just said the date had been delayed. I was upset, but I didn't show my emotions to them. Just let they know my other appliances would deliver on the original date.
I was so disappointed after I got the email today, so I sent an email with my concern and complaint(I got help from AI); I am not asking you to rush the project, but we wish you would let us know a clear schedule.
Let's see how it goes...

Thanks for your feedback, Hank123!
It’s easy to understand what I missed.
I have a question: the worker who came here yesterday was a new person. We met first time yesterday. Can I use ‘the’ in this case too? Or should I describe more like now and use THE from the next sentences?

I understand your pain, contractors change their promises all the time!

Thanks for your feedback!
One thing I can do the self correct after I read your correction; I just let them know…because every cabinet items and new kitchen appliances were ordered by me! :)
I am so sorry to hear you empathize my story 😔 It must be not common!

Your feedback sentences are very smooth to read. I will try to connect sentences like how you made next time. It was a long journal, I appreciate your help!
