A little progress today

Today we made some progress. Some cabinets were bolted into place. I had scheduled a tree guy at 11 am, but he had a "bee incident" at his prior job so we rescheduled for tomorrow. It's a bit disappointing, but not really a big deal. I found out that we didn't have the mounting bracket kit for the small microwave. I was surprised the salesguy didn't mention this - he knew this was an undercabinet installation and never advised us to order it.

Here is a shot of the upper cabinets in the appliance area. In the background are several tall pantry cabinets.

Chris worked with the electrican to wire the whole house for phone, network, and tv cable. This is really great because we won't need wires running everywhere, and we got to do it while the walls were open anyway during construction. It was convenient that this space in the middle of the house was open. It previously held the flue for the old heater unit which was in the crawl space under the house. We relocated the heater to the attic, and this space was empty. It is a perfect place for the panel that holds all the cables.
