Appliance install

The appliance package was delivered during the recent blizzard, and we've invested some time to start the install.  I am usually interested in doing my own appliance installs, especially once when I had received an installation quote for a package of appliances where the wall oven supposedly needed a $250 bill to put it in the cavity and screw in a couple screws.  Often in construction there is no relationship to the value of the service provided and its price, and that is a clear example of something being utterly not worth it.  Other installs can be considerably trickier, such as range hoods where they are bolted to the wall, often a tiled backsplash, and are cumbersome to hang.

Hood fan body is mounted nicely, now it just needs the HVAC crew to duct it and the electrician to wire it.  Appliance install is a team game and getting it all organized is the key to success.

Rather than dual oven, the kitchen features the full sized oven with the compact oven/microwave combo.  This is a costly but desirable appliance upgrade.
