the floor plan is a challenge I agree , with that bathroom off the kitchen I don't see how to really change anything , short of doing a build out where the kitchen sink wall is............

@@SailorAllan There are always challenges do make reno changes. However, a couple weeks of hard work is better than a lifetime of horribly awkward fridge placement. Just my 2¢ though. :)

How about...."Hope your fridge placement always works for YOU" It may not work for your or me...because we have been taught a certain way of how things 'should be.' A few extra steps...won't hurt a soul. If they lived in a mansion and had to walk 10 feet to the fridge would that be ok?

Houses are rarely perfect, and they're young enough to deal with a "quirk". I'm sure they've re-thought the fridge placement many times and they've made their decision. It will work for them.

It sure is! Thanks so much for the comment and for being a long time subscriber!

Our pleasure! Thank you so much!

This made me smile! Not sure where you went, but I'm happy we could be reacquainted, and that my new content didn't let you down. Nice to hear from you! Take care!

😂 we feel like kids in a candy store

In a world filled with frightening news every hour of every day being able to watch you live out a dream with sheer joy, optimism, and hope make me happy.

I'm sure that there is a state or county forester who can give them advice on managing their woodland.

Thanks for the comment! Without giving too much away, it's about as much as a small house in the suburbs with no land would cost. Very reasonably priced 😉

Thanks Cindy!

@@CottageandCompany The drill is called a right angle drill at Lowes or Home Depot it allows you to put the drill in the hole you cut in for your first light fixture with a paddle bit attached to it. You drill thru the closest rafter in the opening cut for the first light fixture, making sure you are drilling towards where you want the next light to be. Keep in mind if you stay in the same rafter bay you won't need to drill thru a rafter for every additional light fixture you add. Only those lights that cross over a rafter bay will need a hole drilled in them. Now when drilling thru rafters to get to your next light location, is when the drill extensions are used. Drill bit extensions are a foot long and interlock to one another. So when you drill thru the first rafter closest to your first light fixture opening, you will need to add extensions to reach the next rafter repeating this process until you reach the opening for your next light fixture. OK... so now you have the end of the drill bit and all the extensions you added sticking out in the opening for your next light fixture. Attach your electrical wire to the end of the drill bit (make sure it's firmly attached with strong tape) don't make it bulky. Now go back to where you started drilling and use the drill bit and extensions to pull the wire back thru the hole you just drilled removing the drill bit extensions as you go. Continue this process until you have all the new ceiling lights installed. NOTES: With the additional lights you are adding, make sure it's on a 20 AMP breaker. This process takes patience and time. Rafters are full of insulation you need to work around, When drilling in rafters once you drill thru a rafter stop the drill and add extensions until you get across the rafter bay and the drill bit is touching the next rafter, then and only then do you start the drilling. Why... you don't want to wrap all that insulation up in a turning drill bit as you cross the rafter bay. It's best before you cut any holes in the ceiling determine the direction of the rafter and the spacing between them. They will be 12" or16" apart. Then cut the opening for all your lights before starting the wiring process. You can buy hole saws or hole jigs to cut your light fixture opening. Lowes or Home Depot sells Can-less LED light fixtures.Questions. ralph@ralphworth.com

One last thing to check before starting the project. Make sure the exposed wood beams in your ceiling aren't structural. If so, you don't want to drill thru them.

That's how we did it! Good luck on your search! Western MA is a nice place to look too

haha 😂 Hey there! I think Palmer just needs to hit the gym more!

We'll be coming out with a video explains exactly that soon! 🤗
