Plumbing and Electrical Work

We are remodeling the kitchen out here at Coyote Ridge. It is not a small undertaking, but we are doing in bite-size pieces.
We decided to go with stainless steel appliances, so off to the appliance store we went.
But first, let me back up.
Recently our upright freezer in the garage threw in the towel. With just the two of us here we thought we could get along without one.....wrong!
So, we thought since we had talked about up-grading the kitchen we would just buy a larger refrigerator. We went from an 18 cubic foot model to a 27 cubic foot beast. While we were at it we thought we might as well go with stainless...so we did. Of course the white stove looked out of place..it has been replaced with stainless. Now the white range hood looked out of place. Replaced with stainless. Of course the white microwave had to go....and it did. Oh my....look at that dishwasher, it looks so out of place....yup, you guessed it....replaced.
This weekend we replaced the dishwasher without too much blood shed.

The fridge, darn near a walk in cooler, needed a water line run to feed the in-door water spout, ice cube and crushed ice dispenser. That was surprisingly easy. We just tapped into the cold water line under the sink and drilled through the back of some cabinets to route the water line to the fridge.
I am happy to report....No leaks!
