Here’s the latest on the Ikea Kitchen Renovation. Jerry and ALISTAIR came up with this little workaround for the register vent. The cabinet will be sitting on top of it so they fashioned a means of redirecting the air flow out of the vent. They will add a vent to the toe-kick to finish the job. Not a bad little workaround, huh?

Upon further examination, it appears that they have added their personal touch to the vent deflector.
Here’s the corner of the kitchen with all the cabinets in place.
We’re getting there. Just need to add some doors, shelves and countertops among other things.
Another shot of the corner.
Alistair has added the doors and shelves to the Ikea cabinets. Progress is being made!
Hey, and we’ve added some glasses and dishes as well. Never mind our old sink. It’s just serving temporary duty and will soon be gone.
I probably ought to assemble a punch-out list since we’re getting close:
vent cover;
replace porch light;
basement ceiling – 2 spots;
window frame;
quarter-round;
knobs and handles;
remaining shelving;
dishwasher screws;
return extra flooring;
align doors;
outlet covers;
and I’m sure there’s more.
