Engineer's Final Drawings!

Nate, our architect/engineer, met with us in late July and early August.  He fine-tuned the designer's sketch into something with precise measurements and structure.  The final drawings looked great. 

We (or really Cathe) had a minor heartache when she realized that Nate's drawings expanded the footprint out into the living/dining room by another 8 inches.  Doesn't sound like much, but in a city condo, every inch counts. All in all, the layout works to create a "great room" that's open and warm.

Key elements added or changed were:
*Removal of the blind corner pullout (saved $890)
*Addition of soft-close feature for 16 cabinets
*Addition of a vertical cookie sheet storage cabinet - 13" wide - Super Functional!!
