"DINNER".....(( MARCH 2015 ))

I have a bunch of the half sheet pans if anyone is going to do a lot of baking, Barb has the pasta roller to attach to the KA mixer, Lyn has every size springform pan known to man....I don't need to buy any more.

Your 'storage rack' looks convenient there, Norm.  I think you'll really like it.  The skillets are used more often than just about any pan I own so it's nice to have them easy to pull out and not stacked.

That space is in great order Norm.
You would be a plumbers discount. Discount?? Yes!! Because as a Plumber, it would be so Nice to lie down when doing work under your sink, that you would not get that extra 50 bucks added to your bill for having a sh _ _ hole under the sink!

As a kid growing up in Dad's Plumbing Business, I must have been under 100's of sinks where people ( known as "The Lady" ) were so filthy and used that kitchen space as a hiding spot. Soaking sour rags, the plunger (force-cup). spilled cleanser scouring powder... spilled soap. and wet rusty s o s pads, all rotted and sour; just thrown in under there.

Just seeing and laying under a filthy germ breeding was a automatic extra $ Ker-Ching $ ~ Fee... Added onto the bill.
Yet, there were the orderly clean Lady's, that I remember, dad would praise them for being so neat, and keeping that area so clean. Rare Though.
50% of plumbing drainage leaks were caused by customers throwing heavy things roughly against the drain pipe connections.

Made a lot of money back then, when there was no PVC Plastic Plumbing, and there were no Home Depot's selling parts and pipe fittings to the average home owner do it your selfer's.

So to summarize: Norm,....You Get * * * (3) Gold Stars for your clean organized sink cabinet.
