My 76 Palm Beach is in Florida and I am up north. I would like to start building a new galley cabinet with new sink and stove top as well as vent fan and microwave and or convection oven. Does anyone have a set of plans they would sell or donate so I could get the project going. I am not much of a carpenter but 40 years ago built out my home kitchen because I couldn't afford to pay someone else. I have all the tools if I can remember how to use them. I would like to create more storage, get rid of the furnace that doesn't work and maybe create a little more counter space. PO removed most overhead cabinets.
If anyone has plans and pictures all ideas thankfully received. Large files (up to 20 MB ) can be sent to jrjsjr@msn.com. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Here's what I did:

The furnace is a new smaller one, located at the bottom right. If I were doing it again,
I'd consider moving the furnace to under the couch.

My favorite part of this design is the pull-out cutting board at the top of the drawers.
Pretty much doubles the usable counter space when you're cooking.

I should add, the vent comes out the underside of the upper cabinet above the stove, behind the microwave.
It's made of three computer fans in a line to fit a ~4x10" prefab vent elbow (like for floor registers).

I'm not generally a fan of microwaves over a cooktop, but this arrangement allowed me to keep the gas oven,
which I use. I like being able to use it without running the generator when not on shore power.
Others have gone for a combination convection/microwave in place of the stock oven, with a separate cooktop.

Check out Armand's photo album for his interior redo.
This link is to one photo but you can then follow to the complete album. He has another album for ceiling replacement.
