Well, this was not a good day and was fairly discouraging. As I had to use good sized screws to attach the cabinet railing (#10 2 1/2" cabinet screws), there was a danger of possibly hitting electrical depending on where it was run. I'd placed metal panels where I could when I pulled the drywall off under the window, and had a general idea where the romex was run, but I hit some bad luck.
The breaker tripped and after pulling back the drywall to see how (and if) I could re-run the romex, I discovered there was a real mess of wires, as that wall cavity was where the main breaker to the house was located.

| Just the main feed to the house... no biggie. |
 |
| Offending cable cut back to be re-run |
 |
| Smelt like... burning. |
 |
| Re-run, along with tons of metal protection now. |
 |
| Back to normal, now with new junction box where cable joins. |
