After making the framework

I took a quick lunch break. Photos indoors with the iPad aren’t great, but you get the gist.

I had to uncover and set the table saw up for the frame, then sawhorses for the countertop. It’s not raining, there aren’t any bugs, mud isn’t tracking into the house, and it’weren’t frigid!

I made minor adjustments to the frame once I had figured out where the cutout was going. Then I had to root through some stuff to find the necessary propane connector/adapter. The stove is shipped plumbed for natural gas Found what I needed and cleaned it up for another life. Brass is amazing stuff!

I switched the included injectors (I DID make sure it was propane compatible before purchase!) and after fixing an extension cord (and adapting the shelving below the stove to accommodate a regulator)

It’s a five burner green light! I thought I’d make a backsplash and tile. I might. The raw simplicity of a decent counter has a certain appeal, and in keeping with cabin flavor. Currently undecided, and very pleased at the progress.

Fiddling for the win, tools and spare parts made it fall into place. I have some daylight to cleanup, don’t think I’m tackling much else, I’m definitely tired from work…
