trailrunner, I have two cabs that are about 9" deep at the end of my cabinets...one has oils and vinegars and the other has flours and sugar and rice. I have olive oil, extra virgin olive oil, canola oil, seseme oil, and some oils my son brings me back from Italy. These are strictly storage cabs, the ones I use every day are next to the stove. When we make the new cab, I'll move the oils and vinegars into it, then I'll be able to spread out my flour and sugar into the old oil cab so that I'll have two cabs for the flour and sugar. ...crazy I know, but we both like to cook and make bread so I need a lot of stuff handy, and that is a challenge in a small kitchen. Here is my stuffed pizza, sausage, spinach, mozzarello, grading cheese and pepperoni. Here it is, after rolling up... ready to pop in the oven, with a pizza and another stuffed pizza, I think the small one was fried eggplant with sauce and cheeses. after cooking cooked pizza cut up in the plate... now, what was your question? :)

The smell was especially pungent for years because of the enclosed Cabinet. Previously we had a cabinet. Prior-reno. Now we have drawers. Now, with drawers, we have the storage that drawers provide. And things are airy. Every time a drawer is opened, air is forced to circulate. The action of drawer-moving pushes air around. I like to put a piece of paper towel covering the powder residue on the top of the Ajax/Comet, just to help keep it from going air-borne. (I think the powder can also go airborne even when you open a cabinet door.) This fine powdered product has some solid bleach in its granules, so we still do have a form of bleach under the sink. But the big old bleach bottle is history. It's amazing how much bleach bottles leak out pungent odors. Vinegar doesn't do that. It was a leap of faith to go all-drawer under the sink. Nobody ever confirmed that having not one single cabinet was a fine way to go. Many people opined that my proposed compact plumbing was impossible or not up to code. (Not true). Millions of people can confirm that the first bend in a drain can be and often is a "Tight" bend. (e.g. under a bathtub, under a WC, it's a tight bend), and Master plumbers can explain why a tight bend is OK as the first bend under a drain. As luck would have it, Franke, Elkay, Dornbracht, Blanco and others all sell a remote pop-up button that you turn to open / close the strainer in the drain. It's a cable that moves a lever. One thing they don't advertise is that your kitchen sink drain pipe ends up going sideways instead of straight down. THAT was the big advantage I had been looking for and found in this Ready Made Product that saved time since I did not need to Reinvent a Tight Bend in 1.5" diameter pipe. Result achieved: under the sink drain, my drawer floor is intact; it was not cut out to leave a notch for the drain pipe, because the drain pipe is horizontal and goes backwards to the wall. The P trap is in the empty space behind the drawer, close to the wall. I notched out the drawer's back panel, not the drawer floor. -- My drawer support structure is Really Airy. I have cabinet sides holding drawer glides. And Not One More Panel Than That. Drawers need no cabinet floor under them. We figured we could safely forego the cabinet floor as long as cabinet sides remained parallel and square (not parallelogram-y). This is another subject that could take time to describe, on another day. Our lowest drawer we can open with a foot since there is no wood panel under it. Having no cabinet floor gives you an airy open space. When you remove all the drawers (an easy operation) you can work in that space with room to spare. ((P.S. I also removed the cabinet back panel; i can see the wall and the plumbing very easily.)) -- Combining several thought processes we were able to get the final result that achieved our goals, satisfied our desires, (and made us proud). One was the radical rethinking of product inventory; we got out of the chemical storage business and got into the nano mechanical stocking business: we buy and try out scotch brite type and mIcrofiber cleaning cloths and pads now, and find them all good. Secondly, we got the drain pipe horizontally aligned and notched the drawer back not bottom. A third thought was that drawers need side panels for the glides but not the other parts of a typical six sided cube that they sell at the "cube" store.

Sorry, it's hard to see. Can you try again and get the leaves in focus?

Having just aggressively pruned back my 18 ft tall Glenn to a wide open 14 footer, you mentioning taking on that same job has jogged my memory as to the dangers involved, which I am sure you are aware of. My main tool was also the long handled lopper, and the less used hand snips, the telescoping chop pruner/pruner saw with the long rope and last but not least, the 6' tall wooden folding ladder. Getting at the highest branches was the most dangerous part of the job. Standing on the fourth step, pushing & pulling the telescoping pruner saw back & forth,..yikes, was glad when that part of the job was over ! lol Have already aggressively pruned my other two trees that will grow tall, while they were young ( and short ). Will be down to only four trees next year,..hopefully will be able to keep up if it's a bonanza for all four, ( as I hope ) ! If I can't cope, even by giving away many, I will then have to decide which of the four has to go to get me down to three trees,..which I am sure I can handle under any circumstances. Making that decision will be very tough tho, as I love the taste & size of all ! ( Kent, Tebow, Carrie & Glenn ). Oh well, if I can't decide, maybe keep all four and hire a helper for 6 weeks ! lol
