The last stage was to frame in the opening and trim it out, then put extra shelves up between the cabinets. After too many trips to Home Depot, I was able to finish this off. It was possible because Tim sent down his tools for us to use. That was a huge help!
The last step is to paint the trim, cabinets, living room, and kitchen. We will be taking down numbers of anyone who wants to help on that one!
