Installing the new gas range today, was more complicated then it needed to be. Hello manufacturers - please don't have your trim pieces actually make the width of the range 30inches! Holy crap Batman. Next time I need to not screw up on the counter edging - which impeded the 30 inche opening by a smidge - which my handsomely smart husband had to file off - and leave the opening for the range to be 30.25 inches for some leeway. Oh and buy a range where the flexible hose really does hide into a cut out so the stove can actually get somewhat close to the wall.
Nevermind. Next time I'm going to go with the cooktop and double wall ovens. Then the third time I'm going with the commercial range with griddle (and still have wall ovens). Do I try the dishwashing drawers the second go round or the third?
Yup, irritating the husband by already thinking ahead when we haven't even finished this remodel. But he still loves me :)
On a flooring note, we saw cork tiles for the first time today - in a real life setting. Out in the boonies of Portland we went for breakfast. Tried a new bakery/coffee place Baker and Spice. Good coffee, good pastries, but way to loud and crowded. *lol* Though my daughter nailed it - 'They must make a lot of money Mom, there aren't any chairs left.' A few doors down was a baking supply store - cork flooring. Really cool. Floating floor, now Thinset, no grouting, no dang hardibacker. Hmm, maybe something we can try to update the flooring in the bathrooms.
