Over the past couple of days:

• butcher block cut and mounted to island
• end panels for island cut and installed
• various other end panels installed
• cement board installed behind range
• electrical cover installed behind range

ARK looked at the island and wants it moved further into the kitchen; currently it sticks out a couple of inches beyond the walls at the edge of the entrance. Would probably only need another end panel as the heat register had been cut into it and it would be in a different place is the island moved.
