A Mell of a Hess

This was fun, and not the mell of a hess part. This was the noon massed bands at the Jamestown Celtic Festival at JCC. WH and I attended, ate, drank and enjoyed the spectacle of it all.







Here is a picture of the Jamestown area pipe and drum group playing in a circle. Groups were there from Cleveland, Niagara Falls and Erie, PA as well.

We ate shepherd's pie, reubens, shortbread and enjoyed Guinness.


There were demonstrations of highland games, as well. Next year they hope to have a full competition.


The Celtic festival was a nice diversion on Saturday. Sunday we faced the new cabinets.



Here is the mell of a hess. First, though, notice how nice the cabinets look. They are very suitable for the house and the room.


We ordered two. The one on the left is 18" and consists of a drawer and a cupboard with an adjustable shelf. We chose simple chrome oval knobs. These cupboards will be so much more useful than the former one.

The one on the right doesn't have the hardware attached, yet. It is 30" wide and consists of two drawers on the left and a cupboard on the right. The upper panel is a false front. This cupboard is designed to hold the sink.





This next picture displays the problem.

This is looking down over the back of the larger cupboard and the two matching chrome extrusions are the water supply and the rag is hanging from the sink drain in the wall. Notice that the sink drain meets perfectly with the drawer support for the upper drawer. There is our problem.

Tomorrow we intend to have "Jon" from Jamestown Kitchen and Bath stop over to give us advice. Do we send this 30" cabinet back? Do we raise it? (I don't like that idea). Do we abolish the upper drawer? I don't care for that either. Do we relocate the drain? WH also is considering locating the cupboards a few inches away from the wall. That has its own problems.

We need professional advice!
