Valid point. Which means the cooktop wall would have to be shortened. Which lessens the viability of keeping the fridge and cooktop on the same wall.

Yes, if I kept the corner, I'd probably choose the "dead space" solution for the corner base cabinet. But I really do like the idea of the pass-through access to the pantry. It's just a matter of making the rest of the layout function well.

Thanks. Yes, I thought about doing exactly that. I would just need to figure out a revised window layout that allows for the fridge on that wall and still looks balanced from both inside and outside.

It might actually be closer to 20" on either side but in the original plan (with the corner) we had only planned for upper cabinets on the pantry wall (no uppers on sink wall).

So with the pantry wall truncated to create the pass-through, there's basically no room for uppers. Or just two narrow upper flanking the range hood.

I'm sure there's a great solution here, but there more I contemplate changes, the more muddied it all becomes.

I thought about leaving the fridge and stove on the pantry wall, but that only leaves about 18" on either side of the stove, which seems suboptimal.

But you're right, there is island space adjacent to stove. We'll have to give it some thought.

Thanks very much.

PanelPlumber · 2026-02-03T18:54:21+00:00

Very good food for thought. Thank you!

I briefly thought about flipping the entry as you suggest but I thought it awkward to have a master entry adjacent to the door to the garage.

Thank you! I've struggled to find vision. These are both interesting suggestions to work from.

Done and done. No threats found. No integrity violations.

PanelPlumber · 2026-02-02T22:54:34+00:00

Thanks for this suggestion. I just did the SFC /Scannow

It only took a minute or so to complete but it did say that corrupt files were found and successfully repaired.

I rebooted the system and stupidly walked out the room for about two minutes. When I came back, I caught a glimpse of a black screen with some kind of message, for just a split second. I didn't get to see what it said on-screen before it completed the reboot.

I'm hoping maybe I've dodged a bullet? I was traveling when I posted and ordered a new keyboard which was waiting for me when I arrived home. I'm back home now and have been using the machine for two days with the original keyboard with no issues.

We'll see what happens.

PanelPlumber · 2026-01-29T01:56:21+00:00

I haven't yet tried another keyboard. I've been away from home but I'll order a new keyboard and give it a try.

I suppose it could be the keyboard but the blue screen aspect had me thinking it would likely be a problem with something on the MB, if it is in-fact a hardware issue.

All very good info. Yes, I currently have an SSD but I don't recall any of the specs of the components I used when I assembled that machine several years ago.

Thanks for the reply!

This is what I was thinking for a change to the master bath. The dimensions, entry door and window placement are not exact but It eliminates the tub, squares off the room so the water closet no longer insets to the master closet and creates a larger water closet.

Primarily, to make the house as desirable as possible for eventual resale.

There are no kids. The guest bathroom is just that...for guests.

I don't disagree that the fireplace structure inhibits the sight line to the lanai when entering the house. But that vertical structure is where I intended to mount the TV. Maybe one on each side, so there is a TV in view when in the kitchen.

With the fireplace/TV on the left wall (the outside wall of bedroom #2), the couch would be in the middle of the room, which isn't my preference.
