Putting the oil finish on our cabinets was a big job but I finally reached a point where I can begin the installation. The base units required construction of a 1" subfloor under them so I won't waste any Maple flooring. These cabinets are full box construction and not open in the back like the those we have had in the past. This makes for a stronger case but that means I have to cut openings for all the plumbing. I spent last week on the kitchen and it is coming together nicely.
We have also been shopping for appliances . This is something like shopping for a car. You go into a showroom full of gleaming units with salesmen circling like sharks. Lynna had done a lot of research though and we've been through this before. We worked with an amiable older fellow who was knowledgable and he located everything Lynna wanted. She was able to meet her budget with an international lineup, so we will have a Swedish dishwasher, German oven & range hood, and a French cooktop. While Lynna talked with a counter top person, I wandered through the clearance section & found a Maple bank of drawers in the style of our cabinets. They accepted my offer and Tuesday I picked it up along with the dishwasher.
We also spent a great deal of time comparison shopping countertops, so I hope to have the base cabinets ready for measurement and templates in another week.
