You could and 3 or 4 of your friends. It's like a cabinet warehouse up
in here..;0)
I was going to try to salvage some of the old wall cabinets to the
garage. Not sure what to do with the open space. It's a galley
kitchen, so there is eating at a bar on one end only. The dining area
is seperate..
There are 2 boxes on either side of a kitchen window that is over the
sink. I was going to reduce the 2 to one on either side and not
replace the box over the fridge. Can ANYONE even reach that in any
home? I doubt anyone will miss that one.. Those 2 things were my
starting point of reductions..
Don't think I'll be selling ever. I live in it in seasonally and it's
nice and small (except for the overkill cabinets) and taxes total 780
a year (pretty low for Florida)..!
