Hurricane Fiona left me without power for enough time to realize how convenient my kitchen appliances really are. It got me thinking about appliance placement and I hope you find it helpful.

Excuse the noise of generators in the background. I had to shoot this one outside as there was no power for lights. Thankfully, we only lost power and not our house, as many people have in my community. The Atlantic provinces of Canada need a little extra support right now, so please keep us in your prayers.

    Glad you guys are safe! First thing that goes when disaster strikes, is definitely convenience.
  • When placing a wall oven next to a refrigerator do watch the clearances that the fridge does not hit the oven handles when opening. Spacers may be required, better yet a Pantry between the units

    Glad to see you are all safe. Great tips Mark! You looked really worried at the end of your video. Mark, prays for you all🙏

    When it comes to placement of appliances I found it function over fashion is the best rule,for me it’s fridge,counter space ,sink, counter space,range ,oven,counter space.

    Prayers for your family, community and you. Stay safe and stay strong. ❤from a Canadian neighbour.

    Good channel - plus it's Canadian so will apply to our national codes; provincial codes notwithstanding. I have trouble seeing the panel on a microwave that is placed beneath the counter. I like that they're out of the way when placed there, but just not functional for eyes that are...shall I say...aging 😊 Same goes for oven placement - in the wall - I had one in my early-mid twenties and still my favourite location.

    So glad you all are unharmed. I lived for years as a kid in Mississippi and South Georgia, so hurricanes I’m used to. These days, in Tennessee, it’s tornados - not a fan!
  • Glad to know you are all safe and back to kitchen design amid the hurricane recovery.
  • @gabecox
    Hurricane in Canada, totally crazy for sure! Glad to hear you are safe and only lost power. Great tips for the appliances!
  • Totally agree about, HELLO, I do snow! What the heck is this?!? So not cool, hurricanes. 👎👎. But, I am wholeheartedly thankful you and your family are well. Thanks for the great tips on this video! Stay safe.
  • So sorry you lost power. Glad you were able to still function. Thanks so much for these tips, very useful information. Be well.

    I hope your power will be restored soon. Glad you are safe. Very good advice on appliance placement. I love having my oven and my range top split up. I would also highly recommend venting to the outside. Whatever it costs, it is worth it in my opinion.
  • I’ll echo everyone else and express my gratitude that and your family are safe. I hope you and your neighbors are able to recover soon.
  • @trinaroe5132
    Really surprised to hear that it’s not an issue to place ovens directly next to a fridge!
  • stay safe! as a girl from the Canadian prairies, I agree with you 100% about blizzards!
  • Wonderful to see your on video this week. So glad you are all safe. We just survived Cat 5 hurricane Ian--so I can empathize. Stay safe!
  • @JB0Y74
    Glad to see you all safe. I hope that things get back to like where it was before as quickly and as possible.🙏🏽
