10-15 years is way too frequent to be performing kitchen remodels.

    We're moving to a new place and buying a kitchen. Stone/granite is so expensive even for a small kitchen. Everything not an imitation is expensive, really. Actually, everything is expensive nowadays 🫠

    You have to live in a very oversized house in area where space is extremely cheap to decide to just throw space away. Yes that wedge of corner space under the counter is inconvenient, but it would still be useful for things you only need to get to very occasionally.

    Spaces like that are more common than you’d think when it comes to countertops. Some older kitchens used that space for lazy Susan style rotating shelves, but you don’t see it much anymore.

    They should make spring loaded shelves that can rise out of the counter top for those spots: the lazy suzan things are better than nothing but still a bit of a pain when something gets in the way of it's path out of the cupboard

    The blocked-off corner space is what happens when you buy pre-made cabinets instead of having them custom-built. (Unless the cabinet manufacturer happens to offer a dedicated corner piece, and the measurements work out such that it fits in your kitchen, I guess.)

    "Oversized" and "cheap" are relative terms.

    Also, not everyone obsessively buys and hoards crap they don't need. My kitchen cabinets are half empty, because I don't buy things like air fryers, and bread machines, and food dehydrators, or whatever the latest single purpose cheap appliance is.

    Its you. You will be remodelling and forget you put it there. Joke's on you.

    You can buy a full, real human skeleton for about $7,000. Since real skeletons don't stay intact once all the meat is gone, you could just drop a pile of bones in the bottom with a large pile of diatomaceous earth. That would give the local forensic team something to do.

    Sorry but I've seen enough horror movies to know skeletons maintain their position perfectly as the body decomposes. Don't spread misinformation here.

    They don't fall apart until some fool of a Took comes along and touches them. Then you're boned.

    Even better, don't use a Spirit Halloween skeleton. If you really want to do it right, use the real deal:

    https://www.boneroom.com/

    https://www.skullsunlimited.com/

    Little known fact. You can actually order human skeletons on the Internet.

    Has no one introduced you guys to the concept of the corner cupboard?

    Ah, the cobwebs will naturally come.

    A mannequin arm came with our house. It was up in the attic, right next to the hatch. The inspector came to look over the house and found it. Almost fell off his step ladder.

    Or plan your kitchen remodel to not have that stupid corner.

    Most contractors I know would appreciate the joke. Just make sure the skeleton is a cheap, obviously fake one. I’m thinking Spirit Halloween.

    Why not just hide the actual remains there?

    Empty space in the corner cabinet? WTF? Is that another American invention that didn't cross the ocean? Thankfully.

    Plenty of that stuff in Europe, too. My mother's custom made kitchen has quite inconvenient shelves in that corner, but at least the space is used. OTOH, we're buying a kitchen and the standard is to just have nothing there. Seems like one has to specifically request shelves or a lazy Susan type mechanism.

    The Webcaster gun is amazing and makes low grade props look way better! A bit of a single purpose item, some may say, but I used one all over to throw a killer Halloween party, and my ex built haunted house attractions and used them there.

    Wow! Super cool. Idk about blowing money on one since I don’t already have an air compressor, but it’s a neat tool

    I was able to borrow one from a relative so that was a big help. You should be able to rent one too. If you're a Halloween fan, it should be right up there with a fog machine. It was really fun and easy to use, and cleanup was a breeze because it isn't sticky or anything.

    Satan called and said that seems a little over the top.
