This is what we're taking about.
The range sits in the short leg of a "L" of cabinets. In the remodel-that-never-gets-done I want to remove that short leg, just have a straight run of cabinets down the adjoining wall, and instead of the short leg, have a wall of floor to ceiling subway tiles, with a big 'effing hood that you stand underneath, and the flexibility to put any damn range I want, of any size, on that wall. I'll put little work tables on either side of the range, if there is room.
So seems I could rip out the base cabinet to the left of the range, reposition the upper cabinet higher, install the new 36" range, and live in my ghetto kitchen until after the holidays?
