I have a real
dilemma on my hands. This is an older home with walls removed to open up the space.
The vinyl flooring in the Kitchen on this job was installed (angled slightly due to the offset walls of a revamped open layout) and the adjoining Mirage hardwood was installed afterward with a T-mold abutting the vinyl.
The contractor did not mark out the future cabinets to be installed afterward and now we have an eating bar to consider (separating vinyl and hardwood areas) in the open area.
The eating bar connects to cabinets in the kitchen so cannot be moved.
The problem is with the angled flooring. The eating bar cabinet must sit on the straight and the flooring is angled, creating a wedge of vinyl flooring on the supposed hardwood side of the eating bar. The moulding has been affixed and the hardwood does not lay perpendicular to the moulding.
It's hard to explain and I have both scanned images of the problem as well as photos. I'm attempting to include these images in this post but am still a little unsure of how to do that, although I have read the instructions. I am a flooring girl...not a computer savvy human being..LOL

This is a real YIKES situation and I need some advice on the best way to handle this problem. Since the hardwood installer did his job and the vinyl guy did his job as they normally would, I feel the mostly absent contractor may have to take some part in this and he will be the one fixing the situation. I now need to guide him well to keep the customer happy.
If someone can help me as to how to share the scanned images, I would be more than happy to post them. I am a little challenged in the computer area.
I really like this website and have been in the flooring industry for over 20 years, so I know I may have some great advice from my peers.
