Hi Carla,

   I did - it was a neat site. Amazingly enough it was one of the cabinet
companies recommended on the estimate. I have chosen to replace the 84
inches of wall units - with 60 inches of base cabinets and a 24 in wall
cabinet. I ran out floorspace becasue of the windows. I have one cabinet
where the bottom slides out. I will post pictures in Dec - more than likely
- in the mean time - send care packages of homemade meals - we are sick of
eating out , and soup sandwiches!! GRIN
