Oh So Close but Yet So Far Away

A refrain from an old song I'm singing today.  The installers came to put in place the last piece of the kitchen remodel, the granite counter tops.  This afternoon I was going to clean my new kitchen and start unpacking boxes and finally find a place for kitchenware. All was going well until after they cut the hole for the sink and put the sink in on top instead of mounted underneath the granite as we had requested.  A few phone calls later, they were uninstalling a gorgeous piece of granite that was now cut wrong and take it back to the shop to see what needs to be done:  is it salvageable, will they need to order a new slab from Phoenix, when will they be able to re-install?  Oh, it was so close, but yet so far away.
