Got the uppers hung & I realized quickly how not square the kitchen soffit is when trying to hang square cabinetry in it lol. Anyhow got it done.
It has been an absolute struggle to get the butcher block counter wood in. Paid for but the supply chain for it is all screwed up and has taken...
Dos Dude's discord lite works well on vintage macintosh. I run it on my Leopard PowerPC macs daily. Per his github, it works on old and modern macs alike, although admitingly I have utilized his app to bring discord to my PPC macs only, so nothing Intel at this point as my earliest late 2008...
Using this as a means to document the process. Below is what I believe to have in raw labor to date. Sweat equity.

Finished boxing in the dumbwaiter & building the sheet pan box, installed the new trim, toe kick and had the new fridge show up.

Despite shimming up the new subfloor, it still has a shift down along the interior wall. The home itself is just shy of 50 years old, and has settled...
Wow, that is fantastic Drake. I really like how it can be swung up and out of the way. That is a very nice & pragmatic pro-desk space design.
Spot any Fixies yet?
Finished the floor. I am done with floors for a while - not a fan lol. Transition into the kitchen went well. Cutting out the vent was a pita but got it done.
I am sore and am very glad this stage is over.
Another productive Saturday spent on my knees. Dropped the new OSB subfloor. I ended up shimming under where the original subfloor had sunken down - came out very well and sets me up for a clean transition from dining room to kitchen when I drop the final floor tomorrow. The 500+ screws that...
You read my mind. I actually have two purchased out in the garage. Since we are often charging kid ipads in the kitchen, this will be a nice upgrade for that room - no mo' stinkin' chargers. Now a retractable solution for the chord would be even better but yanno, I am asking too much. :p
