Perfect, Michael. Good job. When I remodeled my kitchen, I kept
the old dishwasher and refrigerator, but had the standard opening in the
cabinets to fit any average refrigerator. I didn't need a new one at the
time, so it was fine for a number of years. But the extra space was
available for the new larger refrigerator. A 25.1 cubic foot side by side.

In other words, the kitchen wasn't designed around a specific appliance,
no problem changing out the refrigerator or dishwasher.
