5.7.2019 - Microwave and cabinet installed!

Well...today was the day to bring up the finished microwave cabinet and install it in the kitchen!


Thanks to Jim's ledger boards, it was very controllable for us to set it in place...


Looks amazing!


Making sure everything is straight and level (of course, it was!)


 Since the cabinet was in place, the next step was to bring in the microwave and set it up on the bracket.  Jim got it screwed into place but then decided that it was 1/32" off center.


So we took the microwave down and he moved the bracket over 1/32"!


Microwave back up - Jim is much happier now!


Microwave is now functional!  Jim will have to do the exhaust vent work but that will require a trip to Home Depot.  It looks SO beautiful - I love it!


Jim continued his work on the window frame pieces, doing all the sanding...


He decided to try a different technique and stain the pieces before putting the frame together...


Staining...


 All the window frame pieces are now stained...


The UPS man brought some replacement parts Jim had ordered - you can see this chip guard on his planer was broken so he's replacing it with a new one...


I'm getting ready to head out to Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs for an author talk - this town has so many of these opportunities so I decided to take advantage.
