 RH>> .......as the person decends deeper into an inablility to care

 RH> He feels that he's not useful any more.

Understandable... he can't do what he used to be able to do, so his
usefulness has to be based on something else... and that can be hard to
get one's head around... or to figure out what the something else could
be... 
 
 RH>>> adding the garage. Take out the current pantry as the door to
 RH>>> the garage, add the new pantry in space leading to the
 RH>>> garage/bonus room. 
 NB>>> That would seem to be at least potentially feasible..  :)
 RH>> Someone else suggested using the back door as a tie in, redoing the
 RH>> deck. We'll see in due time, what way to go.
 NB>> Now that could be possible, too...  :)

 RH> Time will tell. The deck is nice but if part of it has to go, we'll
 RH> understand. it's still a few years away tho.

Plenty of time to figure out what's what, and what might work best... :)
 
 RH>> Meanwhile, the pantry has more
 RH>> storage than the old one--deeper shelves and Steve added a couple
 RH>> more. He will also insulate the water heater room and add shelving.
 NB>> That sounds good... :)  And gives you plenty of time to explore the
 NB>> options for the walk-in pantry...  :)

 RH> After we eventually get this place all squared away and liveable. (G)
 
Yup.  ;)

 NB>>> It was indeed nice... Sounds like Rachel has a nice set-up,
 NB>>> too..  :)
 RH>> In some ways, yes, others, no. Her kitchen doesn't have a good "flow"
 RH>> to it but it is big. She has a lot of cabinets/cupboards around it and
 RH>> on the (good sized) island.
 NB>> Win some, lose some, then...  :)  At least she has plenty of storage
 NB>> and workspace...

 RH> Storage, yes. Workspace--depends on how much her husband and kids
 RH> clutter it up. (G)

Around here, it's (sadly) as likely me that's doing the cluttering.. ;)
 
 RH>> Hopefully I can store all that was in the kitchen gray unit, in the
 RH>> pantry and cabinets/cupboards here. That's the plan anyway. (G)
 NB>> And soon you'll be finding out for sure...  (G)

 RH> Once I get everything unpacked.

And see if it does in fact all fit in... ;)

ttyl       neb

... Had it for years and threw it out? You'll need it next week.
