Vacation winds down / some appliances installed

The heat pump for the addition was commissioned this week and the new programmable thermostat and heat/air grills installed. It is nice to walk the entire length of the house (approximately 80') and not notice any temperature variation.
Wiring has been finished to the breaker box and all prior electric work has been finished (there is no more extension cord powering the frig in the garage !!)
We ran into a small issue for the floor in the new laundry and half bath area which is going to mean a change order (good thing that we are our own general contractor or this may have been an expensive one.) Bottom line is that we will be ripping out the floor in that area and replacing the old 1/2" sub-floor with new 3/4" plywood to give us a more substantial base for the 18" tile we will be laying.
The oven tower is installed and powered up as is the new frig. Sandy and I installed the oven ourselves on Friday p.m. using 4 empty tile adhesive buckets along with equal amounts of brute strength and awkwardness.
You may notice (from older posts) that the oven and frig cleaned up pretty good from sitting around waiting for this day.
The opening below the ovens is for a drawer to house oven type broiler pans, etc. The cabinet on the bottom and to the right of the ovens is for cookie racks, cake pans, etc.
The bottom oven is convectional, middle is a convection with a temperature probe if you wish to use it and the top is a microwave/convection combination oven.
