Ovens and cabinets

The oven is finally in and powered on. This was a big worry of mine, since the oven was a floor model and came from a different source than everything else. Best case is that it works fine (although it's missing a $15 trim piece at the bottom that I need to order) / worst case is that it doesn't work at all. Luckily when I turned the circuit on everything worked fine. On a side note, the wife can lift a whole lot more than she leads everyone to believe... we had no problem getting the oven up and into its space in the cabinet at all.



I also installed 4 cabinets today. Wanted to do more, but it took a long time to build a shelf strong enough to hold a 190lb oven in one of them. Tomorrow I'm hoping to get the others taken care of. Two of them will be a challenge. One has a cutout to go over the vent, while the other has a half dozen cutouts for water and drain lines as well as an electrical outlet. Fun stuff. The good news is that once those are done all the cabinets are in and I can do other things like plaster and grouting, lastly installing the crown along the top of the cabinets and baseboards. I'd like to say that it'll all get wrapped up tomorrow but every day feels like there are only one or two more left to go. Maybe this time I'll be right about it.
