On July 1st, the laundry room utility cabinet was finally installed, and the existing kitchen cabinets refinished. How do you keep two cats out of the kitchen? Sheets and cookbooks. We spent a bit of the 4th of July weekend prepping for the following week. There was electrical work to do. With the utility cabinet in place, Andy finally finished installing and testing the low voltage center. We both painted the laundry room prior to the return of the appliances.

On the 5th, things moved into high gear. The laundry machines returned to their places, as well as the dishwasher. In came the new fridge, and the cooktop + downdraft, subject of much concern the week before, were installed and working. At the end of the day, it was clear there was a small problem with the power supply to the new undercabinet fluorescent fixture. Oops. Part of Andy's rewiring is shown here, as well as the fixture which he installed. The oven made it in this week, along with custom fabricated stainless moulding.

On 8th, PJ finished up the remaining items. Big-block moulding above cabinets, a bigger breaker for the oven, and a few other things. Here, PJ, his assistant, and Andy had trimmed out the hanging cabinets (don't ask). The low-voltage puck lights were installed. We sent PJ on his way. Though we're not done yet. We still have to paint the kitchen and entry, get a few cabinet issues resolved, do a little touch-up staining, and install the Tech track lights in the kitchen and dining room. Stay tuned.
