An appliance garage.

Yep it’s an awesome add. Also even though it’s the bathroom and not the kitchen

Called a pot filler faucet. Like this:

Gas is the only way to go for a cooktop.

A pellet ice maker is on both my wife’s and my wish lists.

It’s been awesome. Even just for ice water, it is great and if you like to crunch on ice, it’s the best thing.
