Not much to show but a few issues that need our attention. As you know, the original plan calls for using six cabinet bases to construct the island. On one side we'll have three 24" deep cabinets and on the other side three 12" deep cabinets. Unfortunately, an island 36" wide will create a cramped and congested kitchen. Moreover, because of the size, we won't have the ability to hang any of the granite over the cabinets to sit and eat comfortably. This being the case, it's a no brainer to scrap the 12" cabinet base and have a two foot wide island base. The "question" now becomes, how much space can we afford to hang the granite over? 8"? 6"? Arnold will do the measurements and let us know his recommendation.
Side issues:
- Cost for additional can lights are $90 each. This seems high.
- Cost for dimmers are $30 each. This seems a little high too.
I recognize that adding two can lights in the foyer is only $180 but since we've decided to keep the light we already have in place (thus the two can lights were going to be an addition rather than a replacement) and because the existing light is already sufficiently luminous, then this may be one area where we can cut back and not even notice anything?
Finally, the bathroom...
Above is a picture of the guys ripping out the subflooring by the bathroom in order to move the pipes. Unfortunately, because of the placement of one of the pipes, the toilet cannot be on the short wall facing the faucet; instead, it'll be directly to right of the door facing the wall. Arnold said there will still be plenty of space to maneuver around and we'll be able to maintain the slimmer dimensions so we okay'd the toilet placement.
