Last but not least..........Let's Eat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




The final room in the tour is the kitchen. We were concerned about the size and it is a bit on the small side, but we have taken the diminutive size as a challenge to efficiently use the space. We really needed to maintain a 'standard' sized refrigerator and that required removal and re-installation of the bottom 4 steps to allow the fridge to be moved in. That being completed, we moved on the the microwave. The choices were a large over-the-range unit, a small counter-top unit, or an in between unit. Well,....................the over-the-range unit would have no range to be over!! (city nixed that idea!!!) :-( Having figured the small unit would be too small for anything substantial, we got the mid-sized microwave. It is an 1100 watt unit with a 1.1 cu. ft. capacity, so it will do. Not having a range, we had to get creative. Perusing catalogs ad infinitum, the wife ran across a convection oven with two range burners on the top. The convection oven allows us to bake most of the usual items. I suppose a 20-pound T-bird won't fit, but you can always do two 10-pounders! Anyway, with an adjustable heavy-duty cart, we set the burner height to that of a stove and, there we are!!!! Well, there you have it. We have completed the remodel and are very thankful for all the assistance we have had in all areas. Hope you enjoy the pictorial survey of the project. Thank you for your time and attention.
