Phase 1
The rush is on to get the Microhood installed before Christmas. Dad only has two days left. Today dad spent all day working on getting the cabinets cut to accept the venting and drilled to mount the mirocwave.
Dad had to run a new electical line from the existing outlet and added a new outlet.
Dad kept saying that nothing went easy, one thing turned into another.
When we went shopping for the upper cabinet, they didn't have any in stock the size we needed, and said it normally takes 3 weeks to special order, but with the upcoming holidays it would be more like 5 weeks. So dad purchased a inexpensive wood laminate base cabinet and turned it on it's side, reinforced the joints and mounted it. He hooked up the power to the outlet and got the mircowave mounting plate attached to the wall.
After a lot of pushing and shoving, and some words we're not aloud to repeat, Dad finally got the mircowave into place and it looked good. He said he was going to go ahead and mount the 2 side cabinets and he did.
Like a good assistant, I stayed outta the way for the heavy lifting, but got right in there once it was almost complete. Just in time to take the credit for the entire job
I'm checking to see if I've got any hair under my arm yet. (really, that's what I'm doing)
And here is the completed look at Phase 1. The next Phase starts in another week. Then we're going to tile the walls and counter tops around the stove.
