The pantry shall be mine

I have gotten my wish on a kitchen pantry becoming a reality. We are going to spend the extra $750-$1,000 to relocate our electrical panel (see picture set) a few feet over to the right of its current location. This will enable is to enclose our fridge with a pantry and some top cabinets.

Nothing too large, but enough to get some key storage space. We are going to have a 12" wide pullout pantry to the left of the fridge with some cabinets above. That's it. Any more and we would have too narrow of a passage to the counter.

This is made easier because our contractor will be tearing out all the drywall, paneling, and plaster in the kitchen to the studs. This was originally included (I did not know this) in his bid, because in many things contractor-related, it is easier to tear and start over than patch. Cool with me - makes things easier for the electrician.
