I have just completely gutted my kitchen. I have removed all kitchen cabinets, sheetrock and insulation. Am in the process of rewiring the kitchen walls for the new installation of the cabinets and new electric range. I plan on reinsulating the walls and placing ac plywood on all the kitchen walls to ensure proper installation of base and wall cabinets. I am told that I can spackle the seams of the ac plywood like you would do for sheetrock. Is this so?? Also I plan on installing ceramic tiles between the upper wall cabinets and base cabinets. Will the ceramic tiles adhere to the ac plywood ok or should I consider using maybe cement wall board between the upper and lower cabinets??? If ok to use plywood for ceramic tiles, is there a better mastic or glue to use for this project. Also I plan on putting a microwave oven over the top of the electric stove. Should I put an outlet in the cabinet over the top of the microwave or does the outlet go under cabinet in the wall just behind the microwave. If I put it in cabinet over microwave, do I use bx cable thru wall to inside of cabinet.?? Your help in these matters would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, Last year we bought a 3 family home in mass,as rental property. Last month I hired a contractor to re-build the 2 story front porch,wich was in bad shape. They replaced the first floor porch ceiling light in the job. The 1st floor tennant called me right after the job was done,saying the porch light didn't work,her TV blew out (19") and two floor lamps in the same room blew the bulbs.plus the door bell was ringing for no reason! I called the contractor to go find out what was wrong.They did,the got the light working,etc... 1 week later she calls again saying another TV blew out,wich is in her living room (the same room as the porch light switch). Two Tv's have now blown out?? Any ideas?It was fine until the porch work was done?This living room,wich is affected is the first room off the porch... Any help would be appreciated.The contractor says he has it wired the way it was,and there must be another problem? Thanks:rolleyes:
