Space above fridge
Has anyone tried to put storage above the fridge on the 29hfs? Not sure if their is anything behind the false face panel.

I and others have looked at that place, but haven't ventured a peek. It might be possible to take the top off the fridge roof vent before messing up the paneling. It has to stay well vented, but it might be possible.

Venting, yes but I bet there is space to be had. I had to leave something for you guys to figure out...

I think as long as you created an adequate plenum allowing the fridge to vent to the roof and sealed... You could utilize the space by boxing it in. Its probably ugly inside. Is the work worth it? Enquiring mimes want to know?

What about the space over the sink cabinet / microwave... Any ideas for utilizing it?

X2....When looking for our TH, I saw numerous models with "netting" over the top of the cabinets for storage. This is something I will be looking at in the future.

FR parts should be able to get you the good net. My Greywolf had such netting.
