Are you tired of pictures of my kitchen yet? Cause I’m kind of tired of posting them. But you know that can o worms I referred to? Well, the worms? They do multiply.
See the plan was to go Saturday to buy that gas stove from the appliance store we found via Craigslist. But then Saturday morning the digital panel of our microwave conveniently messed up. If you know the time, you can see parts of the line and understand it but just to look at it, you can’t tell what it says. The microwave still works. You just have to really pay attention to what you’re doing. Well, when we got to the appliance store we also realized that we should buy a stainless steel hood AND they had some over the stove microwaves. Why not kill two birds with one stone and go ahead and buy a microwave while there was a good deal and also eliminate the need for a hood. Go us. Here is the lovely set sitting in our garage.
But then. We get it home to find out if we installed it under our cabinet, it would be all of about 5” from the top of our new lovely stove. So now our worms are multiplying and after much discussion, we decide that Scott needs to cut our cabinets in half, as marked by the blue tape. This sounds kind of easy but when you actually do it, you have to cut the cabinet, reinstall the bottom shelf, and remanufacture the doors so they are smaller.
Also not mentioned is he needs to run the gas for the stove and create another piece of cabinet at the back of the stove where there will be a 3” gap.
So yeah, something that could have been as easy as sliding out the new stove and sliding in the new one has sort of become complicated.
