Hi Jeff. I've been reading up on the code, and while vertical clearance to combustible materials is distinctly noted at a 30" minimum, side or horizontal clearance is not as clear. The code refers to installing household cooking appliances "in accordance with the manufacturer's installation instructions." I am posing the question back to Capital; perhaps their note is outdated or I am missing something in the National Fuel Gas Code. I had the same initial question regarding plastic laminate tops and their proximity to a cook top. Combustible materials are defined by the code as such: "As pertaining to materials adjacent to or in contact with heat-producing appliances...shall mean materials made of or surfaced with wood, compressed paper, plant fibers, or other materials that are capable of being burned. Such material shall be considered combustible even though flame-proofed, fire-retardant treated, or plastered." It goes on to give samples of noncombustible material as steel, iron, brick, tile, concrete, slate, asbestos, glass, and plaster (Section 3.3.65.1 & .2). Talk about vagaries. Plaster makes both lists. Seems like good judgment and following manufacturers instructions will be the best guidelines here. Let me know if you are interested and I will post or email you Capital's response to the 12" clearance question. Cheers.

my sister has AW cabs and they're beautiful! I love them and would love to have them myself. they're oak in a med brown stain.(not orangey). they look great with the butterum I want to get. BUT, in cleaning my cabs in the new place I found the uppers are in just great shape -inside. the outside color and doors are yuk tho. Several of the lowers are in really bad shape too. So, I'm thinking I might attempt to replace a few of the lowers (checking CL and going to restore) and redo the finish and get new doors and drawer fronts. It should save me some (maybe), should be less work than having all of those uppers pulled out. Less stress on me - maybe. And will save some orphan cabinets somewhere from continued homelessness. I'm going to live with what's there for a time to let it all sink in and give myself time to change my mind again 300 times. Then (maybe) I'll have the strength to face making the changes. I do think going with good used/other boxes is a good thing!

DH and I have done a couple of renovations and like you, enjoy a good challenge. I have to say that my jaw dropped when I saw your pictures. Not only for how much you've gotten done in 3 1/2 weeks, but also for how much it has cost you! I'm very impressed. Your kitchen is lovely!
