    Hope this doesn't bore you folks, but a while back I promised to post a start to finish stove install, so here goes. A little commentary with each set of photos. It's kinda long and I appologize for that. No doubt everyone reading this has done a stove installation themselves so I would appreciate your comments.

    That us one of the best organized posts I have seen in here or almost any forum for that matter! You should write assembly manuals for ikea and other places that have one page to assemble 30 parts with 100 assorted bolts and screws!!!! Nice job and Post!

    Tim and I conferred about this before he posted it. I did not suggest he do anything more to it and I am not surprised at all that someone would post like you did Woodsnwoods. I too think that Tim did an awesome job not only making this thread but also in the work he did with the install. Congratulations timusp40, you earned it.
