Ahh, my dream home would be a very large kitchen, dining room, half bath
and living room all in one space with three bedrooms and two bathrooms
off to the end. Off the kitchen would be the 12X12 pantry with shelving,
room for the big upright freezer, storage for large pots and pans, etc.
Current pantry is 9X6 and just isn't big enough.

Would help to have the patio kitchen available through a door from the
kitchen. Should have a roof, large brick BBQ pit, gas grill, separate
sink and faucet, wood and charcoal storage, etc.

Now all I have to do is win the Powerball lottery.
