Well, the stove and the Dishwasher were delivered yesterday morning and I managed to get them installed last night. The dishwasher has ran two successful wash cycles with out leaking so I believe that its working correctly (which is an amazing thing) and the stove passed the bubble test (spritz a mixture of soap and water on the connections to check for gas leaks, it bubbles up) and actually fires up correctly.

As you can see, the new stove is huge! It barely fits in the hole for it and it almost comes up to the microwave (its nice in that it gives it the look of one whole unit). All thats left to do in the kitchen now is finish retiling it and then put it back together again… anyone want to help?
