Norky I posted the last line just so you weren't the target of the statement. I really planned my electrical distribution during my kitchen remodel out to the T - even pulled wire for undercabinet lighting. Being really honest because folks put things like receptacle load way down the list when buying awesome hickory cabinets and stainless appliances. We're being honest and trying to help people out that haven't been through it before
I had 9 GFCI's that I planned on using as a stop gap when this was the "camp". When we actually moved in and had an electrician gut the old electric and ground the house he only used 7 of them. Any idea why?
It depends on location if they are needed. Also, if you have a plug and outlet on your dishwasher, I guess you don't need the switch that's installed above counter near sink to turn off the power. I usually see a 2-3 gang, switch for dishwasher power, one for garbage disposer, and if you have a light over the sink.
You only need 1 GFCI(provided it is wired to protect the entire branch of affected areas) per circuit
Everything you two wrote makes sense!! I had an EXCELLENT electrician that patched the old house up several times before the gut. He combined 3 fuse panels circa 1950, 1965, and 1980. I now have ONE new fuse panel, but who knows what wires came from where. Who? He did
lemme go find a pic I posted here earlier, borrowing a phrase from a different member on another thread this place still looks like a bomb went off

Your double oven is NICE! Are you going to anchor the cabinets to the concrete or ancor furring strips to the concrete then cabinets to furring strip?
We ended up changing the layout of cabinets on that wall, so most the upper hangers on in studs, the oven cab is 1/2 & 1/2 concrete and wood, its anchored in the studs available and the other cabinets. The last upper diagonal cabinet (right of oven cab) that is 100% concrete was never installed He used a few tapcons but the redesign eliminated alot of the need for most of them No firring.
Oh, and we finally got the subfloor sealed for flooring, hopefully this summer, but that is hubbys busy time of year and he is itching to go gold panning on the weekends. We have some leveling challenges to conquer before the flooring goes down LOL.
Ironpony didn't you read the memo! But your Fridge is sick! What do you keep in there, whole animals? I like your design, well thought out.
Gave our kitchen a make over 5 -6 years ago , kept all the original cabinets ,I refinished the doors and face frames . I had a guy make me 5 new cabinets which I installed , had a company make and install the quartz counter top . First pic is where the fridge used to be, added the upper and lower cabinets , gained counter space . Where the fridge is now was where the table used to be , ripped up all the carpeting in the dining /living room area ,installed an engineered floating hardwood floor , a much better use of the space in the kitchen and made it more functional . all new appliances except the fridge ,going on 20 years ,when it dies prolly going to get a Black one it will blend in with the stainless ,but easier to keep clean.
