New model eats Peaches on kitchen counter

BTW, here's what I'll be doing to the kitchen as soon as I win the lottery

I want to remove the stove/oven from where it is and put it where the "bar" counter is between the kitchen and DR. That space is totally useless because the dining area is too small to have a table and chairs AND chairs up against the bar. I plan on putting an oven on the bottom and then a downdraft Jennair stove on top. The problem is getting the air out. Right now I don't even have a vent over my current stove. I think it's because cutting a big hole in the logs might comprimise their load bearing ability - I don't know.

That will open up USEABLE counter space where the stove/double oven is now (and obviously I don't need a double oven - the top part is current for storage of pyrex, hehehe and NOT Todd's kind!).

And I want to remove the Formica and put in Corian and put tile for the backsplashes. Not granite because too many friends of mine put in granite and now don't like it.

First of all is getting a new dishwasher though - I swear this one is the most anemic thing I've ever seen. I'm waiting for the Lowe's to open cuz they say they deliver.

Peaches -

We bought a dishwasher over a year ago - I love the damned thing so much I still won't let the kids do the dishes because I don't want them touching it. lol I know it sound weird but this d/w is really amazing.

Maytag JetClean II - 3 Rack Dishwasher

It's super quiet, programs up to 9 hours, 5 cleaning cycles (including rinse and an intuitive auto wash) - and with the 3 adjustable racks I can get a whole day's worth of dishes (family of 4, lots of cooking from scratch @ home) done in one load.
