[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 3764497, member: 45773"] Got about 1/2 the cabinets stained and started installing them. It's slow going because I've never done this before. The fact that nothing is square or plumb really makes things fun, too. I did get the over-the-stove microwave installed today. The hardest part about installing the microwave was figuring out how to get power up there to the upper cabinet. There was an unused wire from taking out the old stove hood. So I had power available. But figuring out how to get it up to the cabinet was a challenge. But...nothing a sawzall can't fix! :) I actually found the box the old vent was in, installed an electrical box in there, was able to drill thru a stud where the existing wire was and eventually got the wire fished thru the hole (I should've cussed more) and into the box. After that it was pretty simple to cut out an outlet box in the upper cabinet and run a wire straight up the wall. Installed the outlet and that was that.[ATTACH type="full" alt="MW Electrical.jpg"]266675[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]266677[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
