[img]/forums/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] Looking at your cabinets, I can see that we screwed up and we don't have enough drawers.....lots and lots of doors and shelves but not enough drawers.....in our recent kitchen overhaul. Yours are well arranged as far as doors and drawers are concerned. [img]/forums/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] What's the big horizontal beam in the DR-LR ? [img]/forums/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] We are presently working on PHASE II of a three-pahse project. Phase I was saw out the entire "core" of the house and go to an open floor plan, Phase II was roof-off, change the direction and slope of the roof and a kitchen pop out and remodel. Phase III will be a 30 X 30 addition with two new bedroom suites and two new baths. Maybe sometime in late '07???? [img]/forums/images/icons/crazy.gif[/img]
