Kitchen Cabinets




The kitchen had an open space between the stove and the wall. They wanted a cabinet to store cookie sheets, cutting boards etc... there. Mitch built this and installed it for them. It fills in the gap quite nicely. March 2007

Things in the toliet



Sometimes the toliet clogs and you don't know why like at our house. Mitch had to take the toliet up to get at this little bear figurine someone (though no one will confess) put into our toliet.
