[QUOTE="GeneW, post: 4030266, member: 27284"] I went through the same thing about 5 years ago. I had a half bath at the entry from the garage t o the washer/dryer room. Had a slab leak that they had to jackhammer the concrete floor up to fix it. They had to strip the room out. Toilet, the cabinet vanity and sink, etc. Since I still have 2 full bathrooms, I decided to have my retired contractor/handyman/carpenter guy seal off the toilet flange thing. I don't know where he got the doo-dad for this purpose. Maybe Lock Supply? He also capped off the copper tubing inside the wall and fixed that. Then got new floor tile, paint, trim, etc. Looked pretty darn good to me. Got a kitchen cabinet, floor one, the base unit??? Whatever you call it. has 4 drawers and a cabinet door. He put a nice top on it. I wanted a nice pantry. But the expense was getting high, so I went to Home Dippy-Doo and bought 2 of those wire shelving units, 6 feet tall,3 feet wide, and I think 15 inches front to back. Put some adjustable shelves on the walls above each side of the base cabinet. Went pretty darn well. I like it. I only regret not getting some custom made floor to ceiling shelves, nice wood, instead of the wire shelves from Home Dippy-Doo. The cost of some custom made shelves was a bit expensive after all the other work was done (slab leak repair and going back) so I cheaped out. I think one of these days I'll get some custom shelves built. I keep thinking I might remove the Home Dippy-Doo base cabinet and just have the entire room custom done in custom cabinet and shelving. I hate to waste any useful storage space since the room is small to start with, and I love the idea of having a pantry. It's just that the wire shelves are much less efficient, some space is wasted, and I regret that. Good luck to you. [/QUOTE]
