Well all of the kitchen work is being put on hold during the holidays. Luckily they were able to finish up some items like installing the dishwasher. They finished installing the hardware and installed the glass on the upper cabs as well as the wall plates. They also made the trim by the wine cooler sturdier but that needed fixing. Keep reading for that one. 
Here's the dishwasher. Overall it's a lot quieter than our old one but still a little noiser than what we expected. The model is the S series which we had changed to the U series since those are quieter but unfortunately the S series showed up. So instead of waiting another 2 wks or so for a U series dishwasher, we went ahead and installed this one.
Here's the end cabinet with the glass installed now. 
So what you are looking at here is my handy work for securing the trim. Originally the workers had placed that extra bracing piece and secured it with liquid nails but the adhesive didn't hold it and it fell down. So instead I screwed that piece into the trim and then down into the block holding the lower trim. Then to hold the lower trim in place, I screwed the brace and the lower trim piece as well. Overall it's a lot more secure than what was there before.
Also, here I put extra tile down to level out the area so that the wine fridge could slide in and out very easily. Since I didn't have a tile cutter, I had to get creative with a hammer. Really they should have cut the tile and put thinset down to secure them but time was ticking in order for them to finish on Wed.
