Here is our complete wall oven installation from start to finish. We ran into some obstacles along the way but we worked through them to finally get our first major kitchen appliance installed!

I might buy that for my shop!

I need that for my kitchen. I bake and decorate cakes and cookies and there is never enough counter space, so thanks! I will be buying

I ‘boy spit my drink out in laughter! “You guys have said you don’t want me painting them,... but, I’m doing it.” 🤣🤣🤣 I love how you guys stand by what you feel and are not deterred by others. Major respect!!!

[@Glibber777]

First step into a functioning kitchen. How patient Ashley is for running the family without a real kitchen for such a long time! I'm still holding my fingers crossed for a satisfying solution about the other cabinets.

[@bloominginplace4791]

Me too!

[@danielheartsill4269]

Just remember it's your door. If you want to paint it pink with purple dots on it, it's your door and we don't have to live with it. You are doing beautiful work and you should be happy with it and will never please all ten thousand people watching. Keep up the great work and we enjoy watching.

[@sharoncochran8508]

I think that pink with purple dots would be cool! 😂

[@danielheartsill4269]

@@sharoncochran8508 If anyone painted it that way and did a U-Tube video someone would moan about it. My theory is it's your place, my place and no one should be negative about the process as they don't have to live with it.

[@sharoncochran8508]

@@danielheartsill4269 You're right! There's no way I could open up my life to public scrutiny. When I lived in my own house (pre divorce), I enjoyed being creative with my decor! That was one of the perks of being an artist and a seamstress! I love painting, wallpaper and lots of color!

[@annateague2354]

It’s your door ,your house ,your design ,go for it 👍🏻

[@savagesquad8546]

I like the door white! I think it goes with the design! Also, Doug.. would you please do some merch that says "It will all make sense in a little bit" or something like that! It is so your statement and things truly do make sense eventually!!!

[@randypeardon9333]

Hey Doug and Ashley, please don't dwell on all of the feedback and questions about the layout. Your house, your choices. It is all looking great and y'all should be proud. Great job! All the best to you and your family!

[@diyfferent]

Thank you :)

[@dianeblack6866]

DIY should stand for "Do It Your way". I don't think every comment is necessarily a criticism, but the natural response to someone watching you do something differently than they would. It's fun to see your vision as it comes to fruition. The white door is cleaner looking and fits in with the decor beautifully. It will all come together. Now..get some rest.

[@mariahendricks1378]

When you started saying “ohh, ohhhhhhhh” at like 18:45 I stopped chewing (because I was eating lunch bc that’s when I watch these videos ☺️) and I started freaking out. I was like OH NO SOMETHINGS WRONG. and then Doug was like “it’s beautiful” and I was like “OH THANK GOODNESS”

[@diyfferent]

HAHA :D

[@HyacinthDaisyRose]

Yeah He got me too. I thought something went badly wrong 😂

[@mochi_and_me]

Yup, I thought something terrible head happened. But was relieved when Doug said how beautiful it was.

[@Amelia-sk7hb]

Ditto

[@roasarioruiz7804]

You guys are the best! The way you explain everything is so clear. It looks beautiful. Now is time to enjoy oven food🥖🥧🍪 A longer video❤️

[@deaconis7036]

My hubs and I have been subscribed to your channel for several months now. We watch on our roku so we've never been able to leave a comment. But I thought it was time to log on to the PC just so we could =) We enjoy your videos. We call you "The Kids" (we are old, I'm 53 and he is 66). I'll be at work and will call home on my lunch time and he'll tell me "The Kids" have a new video out and he will wait for me to get home so we can watch together =) We both have grown kids and grandkids but you are "Our Kids" too. Love watching you guys do what you do

[@diyfferent]

That's so awesome, thank you very much 😄

[@thankfullpriscilla291]

Funny, that's what my husband and I do too.

[@thankfullpriscilla291]

I wonder how many "parents" and "grandparents"you have. 😁

[@65sheilakay]

I love that oven! The blue inside is so beautiful. I use my oven all the time. I don't care for having to stand over a stove cooking. I'll sit at the kitchen table chopping up a bunch of veggies, throw it all in a casserole dish for the oven, and yes. Dinner served in 45 minutes. Is it lazy? Yes. Is it healthier? Yes. Win win.

[@rikkitikkitavi997]

65sheilakay I never thought of it that way. I’ll have to remember your idea. Typically I do more surface cooking.

[@robinr.770]

Shouting for joy. Ashley, your smile tells a story all it's own. Yay!

[@dwagnerful]

Clever idea to have oven facing back door. In summer when it's hot, if you bake, you can open back door and let out most of the heat!😊👍

[@ohjoannabanana]

Your oven cabinet turned out great. And I think you were right to paint your door white to match the kitchen cabinets. It makes perfect sense. Now you all need to celebrate by baking some cookies 🍪🍪🍪

[@josephkerley363]

Congratulations on a successful conclusion to the epic oven saga!

[@sharonmcmillen2811]

Everyone thinks it’s cute when Maverick rolls up on a reno project. Little do you all realize, it’s gonna be soon called “Toddler Renos starring Maverick”. I can’t he’s too cute for KZbin👍🏼

[@Aliceinjonesville]

Wow! It all looks great!!! FYI... after louvered door is completely cured use a dryer fabric sheet to polish all the louvers..... it will keep dust from sticking to louvers..... and make maintenance so much easier in a busy household !!! 😘🙌🏼

[@kikibe1960]

Oh the joy of a wall-mounted oven! I got my first one in 2015 when we remodeled our old kitchen, and I’m almost 60 years old now. Looks great, guys, can’t wait to see your kitchen remodel continue. 🍽🥛🍯🍵🧂🧁🥧🍪🍩🍚🍤🥟☕️🍽🙋🏻‍♀️

[@pamcox]

I'm so glad you painted the door. It looks so much better painted

[@barbaracatalano6299]

That oven is a thing of beauty!! Great job!!! Love that you take the time to fix it right instead of half assing the job!

[@QueenCityHistory]

If it’s something you’re not going to use often, I can see why its location makes sense. It’s out of the way and makes more room for things you want or will need to do in the rest of the kitchen without a big wall oven taking up space....plus in the end... it’s YOUR Home.

[@lesserpoo]

Hey Guys! Those blue microfiber rags that you can buy at Home Depot will keep those stainless steel appliances looking good as new! I use them with just plain hot water and they clean up all the fingerprints and don’t leave streaks!

[@qori14]

I'm watching all of your videos (not necessarily in order) with great pleasure. Words cannot express my admiration. In 1955, I watched my father build our house (3 bedrooms, radiant heating, fireplace and all the mod cons). Your whole family is amazing. Special kudos to Ashley. Doug, you restore my faith in America.

[@sheryldougherty282]

I like the pride you take in your work and it shows. Keep up the good work.

Thanks

[@meganelise277]

Congratulations on getting part of your kitchen functioning again! I think painting the door white was a good call for the space 😉

[@elviscobb5922]

You had me going there for a minute. When you slid the oven in the second time and said," Ooo,Ooo" I thought something was wrong. I glad everything worked out so well.

[@bradyhunsberger]

Totally was about to comment about the awkward location. Can’t wait to hear the reasoning... at risk of sounding annoying I’d love to know when you explain everything why you didn’t turn it to face the kitchen since it would be in the same spot and kinda look more cohesive with the kitchen. Great video & can’t wait for another! Don’t forget to tell folks to subscribe! I know you both are so humble but dang! You deserve to self promote a little! Some people just simply forget to subscribe! I wasn’t for many months while watching. :)

[@diyfferent]

The layout will probably get weirder before it makes sense, haha. We'll do our best to explain why later on :)

[@atywood]

Ha! I’m only :24 seconds into the video and MAVERICK!!! Love how he is so interested in everything dad does!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@maryjaneniles443]

[@2012nowornever]

Looks good! I wonder why you didn't turn the oven to face the kitchen rather than the back door. But if that is the way you want it...either way would work.

[@ChickasawScot]

John Beaber, I wondered the same thing! Hard to get a true perspective of the kitchen from the camera but it seems like it would be more functional facing into the kitchen rather than towards the back door. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@picketfence2028]

Wow! That is one beautiful oven! Those pizzas looked pretty good too! I love my convection oven, I use it for everything. Very well done. The big guy and I learned the hard way, do it right the first time, because it will drive you nuts every time you walk by a project thinking, ' shoot! we gotta fix that oven cabinet'. Every time we said ' let's call it good' because we were so tired, we had to fix it later anyway, so it's best to deal with stuff when it happens. Smart thinkin'! ;)

[@pamkaufman3662]

I love your oven! So pretty. Glad you took the time to fix it correctly. It would have drove you crazy if you hadn't (it would me anyway). I also love the door painted white. It looks so clean and bright. Great job guys! Also, loved Maverick's big smile when he helped Doug. Such a sweet boy.❤

[@spenceyboyy1171]

If you do cover the back, leave the vent area at top right open . Fresh air is pulled in there by a cooling fan to cool the electronics. I work on appliances for 22 years. GE had one that had a coffin effect. It couldn't get fresh air in to the control. We had to cut an air supply hole in the bottom of the cabinet.

[@robingillespie4467]

Yes that true we had that oven, they sent us a new one because it was designed wrong. They are a good company. O and drill some small holes or put a small vent plate in to help it get more air, them computer controls are very pricey when they have to be replaced ugh!

[@carlahubbard7561]

As far as painting your door, it is your house, you can paint anything any color you choose! Love the new oven and the fact that you made it fit right!

[@MaximAvs]

PIZZA!!! WOuld have been my first choice too!! Great Job!!

[@bryangrady5661]

Happy to see you succeed with at least one cabinet! Hope the rest go better than the first ones! Best of luck!

[@LW707]

I’m not yelling. I think it looks good, it makes the room flow instead of a choppy mismatched “mess”. It keeps everything bright. Trust your gut. Besides you have to live with it not us.

[@diyfferent]

[@vickiturner8660]

The procurment and installation had all the drama of child birth. Well done Team DIYfferent. And the cliffhanging design elements to be explained in an upcoming video.

[@nestpeeper]

As long as Ashley is happy with the layout that's what matters. What may seem odd to one cook, may be perfectly functional for someone else. An advantage of being back by the door, you can crack the door to get air flow if it heats up the kitchen to much (or if you are broiling and it gets smokey).

[@eviefieseler1093]

Hahah, instead of disappearimg, you two *dematerialized* at the end and came back as pizzas! Brilliant! 😄 [Edit to add that this job looks wonderful. I am always so pleased and proud when I see you guys going the extra mile to make things truly right.]
