You wouldn't believe how much work it took to get to this point. Here's a summary:

1. Decide to add additional wiring for lighting over sink 2. Cut hole in top cabinet for outlet box 3. Run wire down wall toward the yet uninstalled 4-gang switch box 4. Remove old 3-gang box, while keeping track of 3 circuits and 21 conductors 5. Add 4-gang box, 1 more switch and 3 more conductors bringing the total to 24 6. Oh yeah, replace the 2-gang box behind the kitchen table with a 3-gang box and add a switch for a yet uninstalled undercabinet light 7. Find out that a 2-gang box is so out of kilter, it needs to be replaced with a new one, so disconnect/reconnect 8 conductors and remove/replace box 8. Start installing cement board 9. Cut holes for outlets 10. Find out that screws don't countersink as well as you'd like, so start nailing in the board with ring-shank glue nails 11. Discover that after permanently affixing said wallboard, that your drywall is really 5/8" and the 1/2 cement board is recessed too far to properly attach tiles 12. Run back to lowes to find 5/8" cement board 13. Find that no such thing exists 14. Buy a 4x8 sheet of 1/8" masonite to make up the difference 15. Load it in the car and realize that you should have bought another sheet of cement board, because you are gonna wreck what is currently installed 16. Get the board 17. Get back home and and grind off the nailheads to try and salvage the existing installation 18. Realize that doesn't work as the board breaks and rip out all of your previous work and throw it in the trash 19. Cut a bazillion masonite strips to shim out the studs and staple them on 20. After 5 hours, realize you are back to where you started this morning 21. Get a 1/3 of the kitchen done 22. Drink scotch
