Nice work on the cabinets, Tony. One question: what is that drop shelf used for? It's located beside and below the sink?

: We had 4 feet of water down in the garage and in all the sheds. Roofs needed
: replacing and a lot of other cleanup was needed. We were without sewer,
: gas, and electricity for 23 days, so had to live elsewhere and commute to
: cleanup. Have some before and after Ike cleanup pictures of our house

Yep, well, Linda has been bugging me to go somewhere during December, ideally during Christmas week. Maybe,,,just maybe...I will ask her and see what she thinks. Is it warm there during late December and can I borrow a kayak. If you recall, last time I was there I was lusting to paddle over to that oil rig out there on the gulf.
