So…the chef wanted the controls for the two fantastic fans that are above the cooktop moved. The factory installed location was in the hallway, upstairs from the kitchen (this is a 2025 3231CK floorplan), and inconvenient at best.

“Seems easy enough” ;) Unfortunately there appeared no way to run directly past the existing wire chase located behind the coat closet and above the fuse/breaker/converter. There may be a way, but I was nervous about drilling in that wire mess! I opted to go behind the original location into the bathroom linen closet, right under one of the shelves, and then exit the cabinet through the floor. Careful here because there’s a heating duct that starts under this cabinet to feed the bedroom! Working from the kitchen, I was able to fish a wire through the existing light switch, down into the basement and across to the wires coming through the floor. The original RJ-11 phone type connectors were snipped off, RJ-11 extension cords spliced in and all works great! Chef happy!

Good question! We're thinking a picture ;)
I'd also like to move the temperature sensor that is up there, repositioning it on the island. But, so far, my wire fishing technique hasn't worked to get a wire over to the island. But, still working on it...

What about a stained wood board with coat hooks there?
