I was worried about the cabinets and figured no would notice... Should have

repeating patterns are inevitable. I will re-work the macro so they aren't
duplicated. Thanks on the stove. I spent a few days modelling it and working
out the textures. It even has an engraved logo on the display, but most of
the detail is not visible from this vantage point.
