It's hard to get one with enough light for an overhead light with it though, so you might want can's in there too.<br />4) Remember, if it has a chain or a good length of wire you can move it if necessary. (I'm amazed at how you can re-do sheetrock to cover up where you cut it out and had to repair/retexture it.)<br />5) I told hubby lots of plugs in kitchen. I should have been more specific. It DOESN'T have to be a bunch of single plugs (I think he has 6 lined up in a row.) Double plug recepticles work really well and don't look so institutional. Make sure you have good lighting overhead in pantry & take into account where your shelves will be. If you have the roof for it, consider a skylight/solar tube in the pantry ceiling (or you could add it later.)<br /><br />Make sure you double check how long the bid prices are good for and discuss change order fees, prior notification before they substitute items, and how they'll handle backorders/out-of-stocks/discontinued-no longer availables. For some things it won't matter, but for others it could be important.<br /><br />Painful, yes, BUT ... when will interest rates be this low again? AND ... think of how great it will be on the other side.Christalnoreply@blogger.com
