There is a lot of work left to be done but we have a functional kitchen! Plumber finished Tuesday afternoon with his part. Herbie worked Wed and Thurs finishing up the hookups to the plumbing and gas. Had a glitch with the electricity to the cook top for the gas starter but he got that fixed this morning. We were able to use the cook top last night with a lighter for the gas. I also ran a load of dishes in the dishwasher.
Yesterday afternoon, he called the next door neighbor teenager (Micahel Gibby) over to help him put the oven in place. Oops! Seems the electrical box was too low and the oven wouldn't go in. So, today he moved it up and our another neighbors relative (John Pennington) helped him put the oven in. It fit! Took a little while to get the trim on but then we had the next issue. The display worked so we turned the oven on. No heat. The display, lights, fan all work but no heat. It was time for the game so we had to stop. At halftime, he went down to the breaker box and figure out that due to the location, it was only getting 110 to the oven. He switched it to get 220 and the oven works!
I washed dishes this morning and I love the touch faucet! I'm so glad we got it. I also started moving things into to 'permanant' locations although I know we'll rearrange as we use things. But, I got rid of the paper plates and plastic utensils. We may have to go back to them when the dishwasher is disconnected for the floor installation but for now, we're good. Had a minor panic when I couldn't remember what I did with the silverware but I located it. Trying to figure out what goes where will be an ongoing process.
We are so excited about everything coming together. We still have to order the heated floor mats before we can install the tile. The extra sink is not hooked up yet. The vent hood has to be installed. The ceiling lighting, above counter lighting, and back splash are yet to come. But, we can cook and wash so we're good to go.
