Here is the finished product from a slightly different angle.
I have a GFCI tester. There is a button on it that, when the tester is plugged into a GFCI outlet, will trip it. I went through all of the existing GFCI outlets in the house and found that most of them were not working. I even found that one, according to the light indicators on the tester, had been wired backwards.
When I make my home-depot run tomorrow I'll pick up another bulk pack of GFCI outlets, along with the faceplates for the new outlets I've wired up in the kitchen. I understand that I should have them off when the Electrical inspector comes the first time.
Here is the other 220-volt line I re-routed. This one isn't used because we don't have an oven under our gas range; however, the line was there so I've run its wires through the wall studs too.
Re-routing this power line was a completely different challenge when compared to the other 220-volt line for the double-ovens. This line runs diaganoly, I didn't want to rip out the entire wall so, before pulled the electrical line, I taped some wire onto the wires at the other end of the wire. When I pulled cable the wires I tied to it came through too
Next I re-routed the power line through the holes I drilled, then fed it back through the existing holes by tying the wire I had previously pulled through to the end of the power line, then pulled it back. It took a while but it's finally done.
