Have yet to develop 5 The two that I must have are 1. Oro Blanco pomelo easy to grow 2. Meyer lemon only cause it grows in a pot well Next three would be nice 3. Kaffer lime trying to grow from seed for leaves 4. Valencia orange for some fresh juice 5. Tie between bitter orange, mexican lime and eureka lemon. Bitter orange is the best cooking orange and nice fresh juice Mexican lime is best for cocktails, margaritas, salsas and guacamole Eureka lemon is the flavor of salad dressings, lemon pie, and that old fashion lemon flavor.

You might need to post a picture because I have a great imagination and what you are describing sounds ummm well my imagination isn't taking me anywhere nice :P If your legs are out, are your doors inset or do they sit the standard 3/4 outside of the frame as well? 1.5 is a lot over an inset door style but if the doors are not inset I'd think stretching the 1 inch that's normal to 1.5 wouldn't be bad. I wouldn't do them less than the legs normally...but again I can't imagine what you're talking about...

You can do a filler box at the end of the run or between cabinets before the end, with the receptacle facing the working side of the kitchen. Or you can do a cabinet with a "wide stile" at the end or middle of that run with the outlet in that stile facing the work surface at the top. Or you can do a wide top rail and attach plug mold all along the whole run. Or, depending on your inspector, you can do a pop up outlet in the counter surface to the rear of one of the cabinet boxes, but you will need to shorten the drawer(s) inside that cabinet to do that, and it's not accepted by all localities.

I can't help but wonder if hubby and I are just hobbits. Our first house had an overhang of 10" and that was our go to spot for meals. We rarely used the formal dining. When we moved into this house it had a peninsula that was 3 feet wide, a 12" base cabinet with a 12" overhang on all sides. Once again we ate all our meals there. We ripped out the old kitchen and put a new one in. Our island is 24" wide with seating on both sides (so basically a 12" overhang) and we eat 99% of our meals there. Our dining room is only a few feet away but we only use it for special occasions. Either we are all hobbits or we have become accustomed to a small overhang. Regardless, I understand WHY the minimum recommendation exists, I've just never seen it applicable in my own life. When we've had parties or get togethers, everyone crowds/crowded around the old peninsula and the new island, even after I directed attention to the table a few feet away.
