A New Viking!!

Before: a 1950's "Magic Chef"
Drop that hood down, pull out the upper cabinet, and pull out the range

Note: pulling out the range required ungluing the caramel-like substance that had run down between the oven and cabinets, baked, dried, and fused the oven in there. And Woah! Look at all that crap under the old range!

The strange brackets between the upper
cabinets were to spread and unwarp them back
out to 30" spacing (steam and heat had let them
bow inward, making the opening 1/4" too small).

They delivered the Range and Hood at 4:PM and by 10PM that same evening, the hood and range were in place, and the first pot of yummy chili was done

0 alarm chili with fixins and scortched corn tortillas

The backplate arrived two days later, and here's the completed ensemble

And Yep, the oven works too!
