Unfortunately I don't know the type of grass. Based on our area we basically have KBG, fescues, and perennial ryegrass, but I haven't learned enough to tell the difference yet. There are a lot of weeds in there too. After reading, it seems like it would probably be a good idea to overseed this fall, but for now I'm just trying to figure out how to manage things as best as I can.

Hi, I wonder how your lawn is doing now? It looks a lot like my lawn has looked in shadier areas and I mow high all the time. This year, however, I decided to fertilize the lawn to try to build up the soil. I have around 10,000sq ft and bought around 240 lbs of alfalfa pellets and spread them all over the grass with a few good quality seeds mixed in. Then I spread around 6 bags of milorganite (I know the product is controversially organic, but I'm limited by cost, availability, and ability) I have sandy loam and loamy sand and I don't water the lawn, since it costs too much in money and water... I do, however let the rain come off the roof(no gutters) and have sloped and put sheeting under the mulch to keep the moisture away from the foundation and crawl space. With the rains, and fertilizer, the grass is getting so lush and beautiful. It is beginning to go to seed, so I hesitate to cut it as it is approaching 6" and my mower cuts to 4. I'm going to cut as high as possible most of the summer. I do have a rash of plantain, however, in spots ( I hate to tell you how many hours I spent pulling it the last couple of years, and my hands are too valuable to me for other things to wear them out this way (so I'm contemplating spot treating them unless you have a better idea. (usually I chicken out and don't use chemicals.. haven't so far yet anyway)

My ceilings are 10 ft and I'd love another six inches above them -- I could have made the upper cabinet a little taller and maybe made the crown a little taller too. I did put glass in all of the regular wall cabinet ones and use them for display. I made the doors above the fridge and pantry solid (those are also taller since they come down to 84" rather than 96") as well as the one above the ovens. They are great storage for things like my canning pot, extra large trays, an extra coffee maker, the thermal coffee pump, extra water filters (used once every 1-6 months depending on which kind), etc. I don't have a walk-in pantry or a butler's pantry, so that is my extra storage space and I love it so much I'm going to add some like it I want to do something similar in my laundry room. I did include a tall 12" cabinet on the fridge/pantry wall that houses a narrow, lightweight folding step stool that makes it easy to reach anything.

My Advantium is above my wall oven. It is 45 -1/2 inches from the kitchen floor to the bottom of the lower trim piece. It is approx. 64 inches to the top of The Advantium. When the door is open it is approximately 48 inches above the floor. There are specifications provided on the GE website for installation of the Advantium above an oven. I have linked those below. It seems to me that your Advantium would be too high at the measurements you stated. I am 5'5" and I certainly would not want my Advantium any higher.
