greetings, sure you can post, and feel free to drop by any time.

This is too broad of a question to answer! I've had a hard time thinking of examples of people making me mad. Some people frustrate me at work, and those situations have to be handled tactfully. I am not an attacker; but I don't like to be walked on, either. I learned some valuable points in a negotiation class the most important was TIME AND PLACE. I will sometimes hold my tongue and find that I can be more civil the next day. Always be honest and listen when that person has their chance to talk. You have to have an idea of how you'd like to resolve the issue and give the offender a chance to go that route or suggest another.

Sorry guys - I deleted my comment within a minute or two because I realized that my post made no sense. I couldn't see the OP because it was unanswered and on the second page. When I posted, it popped up to the top and then I saw it. Sorry for the confusion.

Uh, Unless I am misunderstanding the OP, the mudroom is not built yet. She /he wants to build it, based on his/her needs and wants a computer plan to help. CB- Are you building this yourself or will you be hiring a cabinet maker or other craftsman? Please excuse me for stating the obvious, but it seems to me you need to take an exhaustive and detailed inventory of what you want to go in the mudroom space, with measurements before you even pick up the pencil or mouse.. Different people put different things in their mudrooms, and they take differing amounts of room. For example, you can't just say, "clothing closet." If it will hold coats for a man that is 6'8" and 300 lbs, that closet will need to be deeper than the average closet. And the space for his boots will need to be taller. If you have dogs and horses, etc, you may want more boot space, and a place for leashes. I would do an exhaustive internet search, and try to contact the people and sources listed and ask them how they did it. Most people are helpful. What is often the most helpful is when people share their mistakes and the things they wish they had done.
