week two of building our kitchen
Transcript
It is finally week two of building our dream kitchen, and we finally got some appliances in. The one thing I was really nervous about with this kitchen was if our appliances were gonna fit. Basically, when you build a kitchen with built in appliances, there is no room for error. They either fit or they don't fit. But luckily, we did a good job with our measuring last year, and the oven and the microwave oven both fit. And the doors open. Unfortunately, last week when we installed our wine fridge, the door didn't open fully, but we were able to do some alterations and we fixed it. The other scary part about this kitchen was our 13 foot island. We have never installed an island before, especially no a complicated one like this one. Basically, this island has electrical outlets, a gas cooktop that comes out of the stone, a downdraft, basically a vent that pops up. There's a dishwasher, so we have plumbing in here. And the reason why we've just made this over the top and so complicated is because I just don't know if we'll ever rebuild a house together again. You know? Like, we rebuilt this whole worse, just Nick and I, and I just don't know if we'll ever do it again. Like, for sure, I think we'll renovate more homes, but I just don't think we'll rebuild a house like this ever again. And so it just makes sense just to go all out with it.
