Over the range microwave has a 400cfm vent/exhaust fan, which will be vented out the roof. No, its not strong enough to suck up the kid or the dogs, but it should be fine.

I have yet to turn mine above 400cfm in use. If I click it up to 1200cfm, I'll have no conditioned air left in the house in short order.
That being said, I hate over the range microwaves.

Its not my preference, but Im making do with the space that I have.
I've done tons of demo over the years, I always enjoyed it.
Must be the foil backed insulation. Are you keeping the bulkheads?

I call them soffits, I assume that is what you are calling bulkheads? No, they are gone.

Yeah, cool.
Probably because you are easily amused and identify with Beavis and Butthead.

Floor is in, and I have started the drywall patching/repair. I was out of town last Thurs-Sun so nothing got done 
This weekend I plan on sanding the new hardwood in kitchen, as well as original hardwood in dining and living room (last year I did the den, hallway, and all three bedrooms). Late next week, wifey is on fall break and will be taking baby and dogs to her parents, and I will put down the poly. Probably wont get much else done inside over that weekend because I want to give the poly at least a week to cure before continuing work. Should give me time to get a couple loads of trash to the dump, clean up the back patio, clean old appliances and take pics for craigslist, and clean out garage so that I can start building my cabinets.

Yep, high gloss. I dont like the satin finish as well, although the satin hides dirt and imperfections much better. But I like it shiny.shiny.
I prefer a darker stain.

FWIW, this camera really washes out colors. It makes the paint in the kitchen look pastel pink, but it is actually a red color. I love dark in large rooms with tall ceilings, but prefer lighter the smaller you go. I didnt stain it at all, that is only oil based poly, it has a really nice deep golden color. When the sunlight hits it, you can really see all the shades.

We have a sink, island, oven, fridge and microwave, so it really isnt that big of a deal. We live here and I have a full-time job and Im getting it done as fast as I can on nights/weekends.
