The place we're in up here is the same.0 The builder was/is (I meet him) an
idiot. At first glance the kitchen area looked grand then we moved in. as
example:

The space for the fridge is so tight one can not open the freezer door (side
by side) 90 degrees, the wall gets in the way.
The dishwasher is about 3 feet from the sink - rinse the dishes and spill
water all over the floor getting the dishes to the dishwasher.
The pipes from the guest bathroom run behind the kitchen wall, someone
flushes and you hear the water gurgle down the drain (very pleasant).
