I would love to get rid of them but I can't afford to redo my kitchen. I
don't even have room to store paper products in the kitchen. They are in
the garage. I do have a small pullout cabinet to store things like plastic
bags. I freaking hate those pullouts too but all of my lower cabinets are
those. Things fall behind just as they fly off the shelves of the lazy
Susan. I just ordered some new reaching tools. It is hard for me to get
back there.
