Swelling in the extremities can be a symptom of heart disease, or problems with the liver or kidneys. For this reason, it is important not to ignore swollen hands and feet. If you cannot reduce the swelling through rest and a reduction of salt in your diet, see a doctor.
Typical refrigerators fit into a space 36 inches wide and 72 inches tall. The depth of most cabinets is 24 inches. Even though refrigerators are often deeper than 24 inches, the extra depth is usually not a problem. Some base cabinets are wide enough that, when removed, the space provided will accommodate a fridge.
We pulled both base cabinets and wall cabinets 6 forward along our refrigerator run. This way we will be able to have a regular depth refrigerator that doesn't jut out into the walkway, 18 deep appliance garages underneath the wall cabinets, and 12 of counter space for our breakfast and sandwich making area.
