Appliances are due soon - and once those are here, nothing is holding back the countertop install. The sink is the last piece of the cabinet puzzle and then the flooring needs to be finished to make the appliance installs easy.
One thing I discovered when calling the countertop company is that my countertops have to be no more than 1/8" off level (in the span of 10 feet). I hadn't checked with a laser after the install - I'd only used a large level. I fired up the laser and I was off on the peninsula from the oven side by about 1/4". Ugh.
So, I removed all but the 2 cabinets around the oven and re-screwed the sektion rails back to the walls, while keeping the 360 degree laser level on. I'd hang each cabinet in place as I'd go and check them too. Took a bit of time, but I was able to fix some alignment issues too which was a bonus (the dishwasher space was a bit out of wack). Also had to unscrew the peninsula mounting and re-do it completely too.
After I knew the cabinets were 100% level all around, I focused back on the sink install, got the mounts level and definitely solid, and called it all good.

| level side to side |
 |
| I added some extra supports around the perimeter. |
 |
| Supports a human, so should work well. |
 |
| Sink in place. Some minor shimming will be needed. |
So then, now onto flooring. I'd bought the flooring years ago, back when I got the flooring for the living room as well. Same stuff as before, marmoleum.

| Placing underlayment down. |
 |
| First rows. |
 |
| Time for the fun cutting around the cabinets |
 |
| Don't want the cabinets sitting on floating floor. |
 |
| All done |
 |
| With lighting on. |
 |
| Fridge all installed. Barely fit. |
