Kitchen Intervention

BEFORE:  Hello 1981

DURING: looking better already

AFTER: Wohoo!  This thing works like a dream!  

 This whole process took way longer than we expected.  We had to have the granite cut, then we (Andrew) discovered that the gas line was not the correct size for the new stove and a converter piece from the size we have to the size we need was not available---ANYWHERE..... Then Andrew had to leave on a business trip.  So no stove for a few days.  When he came back our friend Conor came over to help Andrew brainstorm a new plan of action.  About 5 hours later they had the problem solved, and the stove was in and working!  Phew!  For SURE next time we buy anything big like this we will also buy the install package.  This was a crazy nightmare, with a beautiful ending! Well sort of, the granite guys did cut the beautiful cabinet facing in a rather jagged manner, but well we aren't sweating it, since that is the next kitchen project to tackle.  (a few years down the line).  For now we are counting this as one more thing checked off the list!
