1. A gas line on our street so we could have
2. A gas cooktop with an almost commercial wok cooker, and
3. A built in grill with vented hood

The topography of our yard makes having LP gas tanks for a range
impractical (terraced yard; kitchen end of house is practically up
against a steep cliff, making access difficult).

4. A separate counter area for my baking operation
5. A separate counter with plumbing for the SO's coffee/espresso
operation

All five of these wishes would require turning the family room into an
extension of the kitchen: Ripping up the carpet and putting in more
appropriate flooring; extending the existing countertops and adding
cabinets below (without blocking the picture window); and rearranging
the heating duct work, since the remaining walls have bookcases and a
fireplace against/in them. We might need to get our landlord's
permission for all this ;-)
