Timeline, Challenges & Solutions
There were no significant challenges on this project. We did discover a minor amount of mold behind the cabinets but were able to mitigate it easily. And we had to re-run the icemaker line as the previous installer and run it through the cabinets. These issuses did not affect the project timeline.
