I do believe you, and I do believe her, but I don't understand the cutout number. How can 23.5 fit in a 23.375 space? The cabinets I'm buying say the box is built with a 5/8" thickness...this could be thicker than 1/2" in something like a Kraftmaid cabinet. I would so like to reconcile the calculation! Lovely thought on the drawers. I actually did have drawers first there, but changed the rollouts thinking that they gave just a bit more vertical space with no horizontal framing having to cross the space. But I agree it's less effort to open a drawer. Regardless, I like the look of the 26" oven depth to break up the line, so will likely switch to drawers and deepen.

I have two Kindle Paperwhites with WiFi and cellular connectivity. Hubs has one with Wifi and cellular, and one with only WiFi. Unfortunately, as has been pointed out, above, the cellular connectivity on new devices is now only available on the Kindle Oasis. The Oasis is significantly more expensive ($250) than the "regular" Paperwhite ($140). Yes, @aok27502, you can download the free Kindle app on many devices -- I have it on my desktop computer (running Windows 10), as well as on my iPad Air and iPhone. But, a big advantage to reading on an actual Kindle device is the absence of glare on the screen. The built-in front lighting is great for reading in a dark room (e.g., in bed while your spouse is trying to sleep). And Kindles are very light weight. @Suzieque you might be able to find an earlier generation Paperwhite with WiFi and cellular on Amazon.

Not an electrician: I believe the NEC prohibits using ducting as a wireway (conduit) because it is not approved for the application. There are also requirements on cables and conduit when in an air plenum, such as a ceiling used as an air plenum. Truly abandoned ducting is just metal surrounding a cable or conduit run. If the duct is greasy, then any conduit in the abandoned ducting should be sealed, and in my view incapable of supporting a fire, such as thinwall, IMC, or rigid. Flex might allow grease to intrude upon the conductors. UG cable might be OK. PVC conduit might be allowed. I have never noticed this particular case addressed in the NEC. For electrical questions, I argue that it is better to ask permission than forgiveness. See your Code Enforcement officer for advice. You may have to tear out some part of the ducting at each end for it to qualify as abandoned. I think it is a good idea, pending approval, if the duct is buried and the path needed is otherwise inaccessible without trenching under the building.

Hi Pat, What I do sometimes with success in regards to a stains + odors+ plus whatever unfortunate thing has crossed my laundry room is: Prewash/soak: 1/4 cup powder Biz or one Dropps Oxygen Bleach pod, half cup Borax, line 3 of Tide Free&Gentle liquid (or powder), let machine mix around, pause or turn off machine, allow to soak for however long it needs. Drain and spin. Mainwash: Line one of Tide F&G liquid or 1/4 cup of Tide F&G powder (same dose if using regular Tide liquid or powder...) 2 TBS STPP. Run through wash cycle as usual. Over here, this will 99% of the time remedy whatever the situation may have been. I use warm for the prewash/soak and hot for the main wash. Sometimes I feel it would benefit the situation if I let the main wash soak for 20 mins... Beagle is correct; Tide pods of all variety contain optical brighteners, but they do clean very well. Liquid Tide F&G does not contain OBs. Hope that helps.
