w/d and stove revisited
went to lowes, got the ductwork, got both washer and dryer working. nala got some of the screws holding the microwave cabinet removed, and it's going to take 2 people to get it out of there, since they seem to have stuffed in the outlet in the back.
I knew it was low, but I didn't know how low. code apparently says 30" above the cook top for flammable surfaces, and 24" for non-flammable (such as a vent hood, etc). Care to venture a guess at how low the cabinet was? Well, to be honest, I didnt measure the current distance. I measured up 30 inches from the stove top, which was to the top of the microwave cabinet. That means the bottom of the cabinet was around 14" above the flames, if that (it was a tall microwave.)
I got a couple more boxes put away. Tonight I have to remember to take the garbage out, and I'll try to finish putting the rest of the kitchen away. That may be difficult with the pantry missing some shelves, so it'll be back to Lowe's again after I measure.
Oh, and my debit card is gone. Fantastic.
And the cable Internet repair guy is supposed to come out at 3pm. We haven't had Internet since we moved. Between that, and no cable upstairs, it's been odd.
