Let there be light.

Jeff put the kitchen light up yesterday, we have been eating in the dark....j/k. 
The wiring was wrong up in the ceiling, so he had to fix that.  After figuring out with his meter which wire was supposed to be connected to the other (it was not wired right previously-the switch did not work with that light) so the switch would turn the light on, it now works!!!


I love this light!!  It goes perfect with the decor I have picked for this room.  
Next on the agenda is the light for the Master Bdrm.....

Until the next post...

Micro up.

Got the microwave up this weekend.  We had to take down the existing cabinet, which was 18" h and replace with a 15" h because the microwave would have sit too low over the stove.  This is what it looked like before we started on the kitchen.  Jeff took out the range hood and the cabinet...
 


We thought it vented up to the roof....no hole here.  It was venting up to the space above the cabinets....wow. 

Jeff put the new cabinet up and ran the electric through there. 

Now we had to get the mounting holes in....with the templates they provided.  That was a joke.  It did not take into account our style of cabinet.  Jeff figured it out :-D .  He always does. 
Now to put the mounting bracket up. 
Check.   Then he drilled the holes in the cabinet to put the top bolts in.  Then it could go up. 
Voila!
Mission REALLY accomplished....
It took about 7 hours to do it.

So here is before:
and after....
Total transformation.
