The old kitchen has been ripped out and electrical outlets are being added to accomodate the new appliances. The fuse box was replaced with a circuit breaker, and the kitchen required so many additional circuits that I had to go back to the other apartment to see what I had. It all checked out. Dishwasher? That's a circuit. Microhood? That's a circuit. Fridge? That's another circuit. Oh, and the kitchen itself needs a general circuit. Old Macdonald had a condo. E-I-E-I-O. And in this condo he had a kitchen...
You can see where the refrigerator used to be. There was no dedicated outlet for it, so it must have been plugged into the outlet above the counter to the right. Fresh! The new outlet for the fridge can be seen to the left of its silhouette.
The kitchen vent, which we asked to have vacuumed. There was probably 30 years of dust in there. Does that intercom phone work? Not likely. The old cabinets are visible in this older entry.
The sink will go here. The grey filler at the right covers the hole made when an outlet was added to the bathroom.
The old range was here. Additional outlets and wiring have been added to support the range's electrical ignition, the hard wired dishwasher, and the microhood. In the middle left, an outlet was moved farther away from the range. In the middle top, the first attempt to place an outlet for the microhood appears to have been unsuccessful.
