I was thinking you had gotten all gun hoe and ripped out the old kitchen first.
So is lokai going to be confused when you close up that doorway?

Time will tell.No, he won't approach his food dish from that direction. But raises a question as to where his dish will move since it will be covered by a cabinet
I'm hitting a snag. Jan wants under cabinet lighting and outlets - nothing in the back splash. This means moving all of the outlets and eliminating some as well. The problem is that the wires in this house go all over the place. Tracing down circuits has been hard enough. Figuring out the sequence they are wired in is near impossible.

It just seems to make sense to strip out the walls, do it right, and then cover it back up. In reality, there will be less sanding that way than to fix all the holes I'm going to have to make otherwise.
Anyone want to talk me out of it?
Yep. Jan saw them on an episode of Hometime. Liked the look and wants it here. She's the boss!Under cabinet outlets? I've never heard of that.
We have the undercab outlets. Thought it would be a nice clean look. We really don't like them. To plug in something you have to do a bend over and twist to find the outlet. On appliances like the toaster that stay plugged in all the time there is always a wire hanging down. Not the 'neat and clean' look we were shooting for. This summer we will be replacing the back splash and moving the outlets to the back splash!
In a kitchen ready for a photo shoot they work great. In a real-world working kitchen, not so much.
Good luck!
Yes, the new cabinets are 36" tall and go all the way to the ceiling in our house, with ceilings at 94 1/2" +/-.I'll second this statement remember as you age it doesn't get easier. Also why riput the soffits? Are the cabinets going all the way to the ceiling? if not they become a dust catcher think about climbing to clean it & as I said before it doesn't become any easier as we grow older.
