        "text": "Before your finish carpenter arrives, ensure your kitchen cabinets and countertops are fully installed and leveled, and that all rough plumbing and electrical inspections have passed. Clearly identify appliance dimensions and locations, especially slide-in ranges, built-in refrigerators, and dishwashers, so decorative side panels and base moldings do not block appliance clearances. You should also have your trim profiles selected and acclimated to the home’s indoor humidity for at least 48 to 72 hours before installation to prevent shrinkage or warping after nailing.",
