    No, it is my basement although I do this in my rehabs as well. I prefer to call mine restorations not flips.
    This is the kitchen in my last "flip"

    I scribe everything in. My belief is no matter what the project I only do one caliber of work, my best. Materials might be lower grade but craftsmanship is mine.

    ironpony love your work:yes: Are your microwaves recirculating? Here they require ventilation above stove tops.. Is that not a requirement there? Just trying to pick your knowledge!

    The microwave can be recirculating or vent to the exterior usually.
