Well, I thought I would post on our current dealings. We are getting ready to redo our entire kitchen and bathroom. While this may seem like a challenge, let me assure you, it will be! We are getting new kitchen cupboards, and redesigning it to make more room. I have ordered some cabinets in a "rustic oak" style, and they should be here in a little over a week, which means we'll have lots of work ahead of us. I planned on removing the "Soffit" which is that part that makes the cabinets not go all the way to the ceiling. We figured that we could gain 15% more space in the kitchen if we did this. After some investigative work (see holes in the soffit), we determined that it is possible, and likely very worth-while as anyone knows who's spent some time in the condo knows, space is at a premimum there, so every bit helps. So, if you don't hear from us for a while, know that it is becuase we are neck deep in remodeling. But on the bright side, next time you visit, you won't recognize the place.
