There are so many aspects to owning a home that it is hard to think through all of them when you are in the market to buy another one. My husband and I spent twelve years remodeling a five bed room rambler on twenty acres. First we had water problems in the crawl space under the house. We raised the house and put in several more courses of blocks to make a complete basement. This opened up many additional possibilities regarding what we could do with this additional space.

Initially we thought that we would just leave the space unfinished. We decided that we did need to have some source of heat in the area due to our harsh winters. We had a wood stove and electric base board heat on the main level. It was very expensive to heat the entire house with electricity and quite inconvenient to try to heat continually with wood. We decided that we would install an energy efficient gas furnace. As the man was installing the furnace he mentioned that he would include vents in the duct work that would accommodate central air conditioning if we would decide to install this at a later date. He went on to tell us that we would save money having them both installed at the same time because we would not have to have them come back out and pay the labor cost. We had talked about having central air conditioning. We live in Minnesota, so we do not have that many days when we need the central air conditioning, but it is helpful to have it going to help remove the moisture from the air. We do get quite humid weather in the summer months.

Within six months of having our home exactly as we wanted it we found a lake house that was very appealing to both of us. We stumbled upon it be mistake. The house was over a hundred years old and needed some cosmetic work done to it. The couple had it listed with the understanding that they were going to replace the furnace because the existing one was not working properly. We offered them less money than they were asking for with the understanding that we would buy our own furnace. We wanted to install central air conditioning at the same time. The accepted the lower offer. We placed our home up for sale and sold it within seventy-two hours. Everything fell into place so well. We are glad that we had the central air conditioning installed at the lake. We do get cool breezes off the lake; however the humidity by the water will warp the wood moldings. The air conditioned air is much more comfortable to be in. We are glad we had it installed and we are glad that we are now living on the lake.

If you’re one who enjoys working in the kitchen, you are familiar with the temptations offered in the form of small kitchen appliances. Cooks can be somewhat childish when it comes to their ‘toys’. Like children, they never met a kitchen toy they didn’t like. In short order, if you indulge yourself sufficiently in these time-saving devices, the question soon becomes, “Where on earth am I going to put all this?” At this point the devoted cook prevails upon a willing spouse, friend or cabinet maker to build a custom cupboard, with pull-out shelves in which to conveniently store their gallery of small kitchen appliances.

Like sewing enthusiasts, you’re into the mindset of ‘She with the most fabric wins!’ Just as the seamstress ends up with closet shelves overflowing with fabric scraps, cutting tools, buttons and so on, the cook can build a sizable inventory of small kitchen appliances. Sure, there are some basic small kitchen appliances we all own. There’s the can opener, coffeemaker, toaster, blender and electric frying pan. Oh yes, and most households have a microwave, for sure.

However, when you look over that list, those few essential small appliances are already hogging valuable counter space. Pretty soon, your prep area shrinks. You rearrange cupboards to gain a little more space. This opens up the counter space to your next temptation.

A visit to the kitchen store reveals an Italian pasta machine. You love Italian food.

You come home with the pasta machine, shove the toaster under the counter and set to work on making pasta. You get the picture.

Once you’ve mastered pasta in all its forms, you’re ready to move on to a new skill.

Lately, you’ve noticed all those bits of leftovers going to waste. The marvelous electric food bag sealer hits your consciousness. Aha! This kitchen appliance will stop the waste. You can mark the bags and freeze them, to be used in other dishes later. Yes, it does take up that counter space, but it’s going to save you money.

You read an article on the health benefits provided with a juicer. Unexplored territory. You watch an infomercial and are filled with visions of healthy kids downing cups of freshly juiced carrots. It comes with dozens of recipes. You buy it.

By the time you get to the bread machine, coffee grinder, espresso machine and toaster convection oven, you’re in a pickle over storage space. “Let’s see, I’ll hang the electric wok from my new baker’s rack. Wow, that mixer has a big footprint. I’ll put up a shelf for the griddle, food processor and slow cooker.”

When you bring in an electric teapot, you’re screaming, ‘Uncle!’ begging for the cabinet maker. Such is the allure of kitchen appliances.
