There's an approximately 24"×24"×32" space in the corner of my kitchen between the actual cabinet and the range.

I'm at a loss. The house is fairly small, and I'm an efficiency nut, so 10ft³ of totally useless space bugs me. The proximity to the oven would make extending the cabinet back that way and using some kind of blind-corner storage solution impractical.

We've been thinking about getting a new water heater, the current one is ancient and lives in a little enclosure outside, about 12' away. Can we get one of those short ones and tuck it in there or is that likely to overheat?

We've also been talking about a whole-house water fountain system, but I'm worried that changing filters would be incredibly annoying.

I vote for housing a glasses-wearing orphan boy

He must have a peculiar scar on his forehead.
