if you have a built in fridge already, i would put in a small counter nearby with a microwave, hot plate, or toaster oven. all you would need is a kitchen sink, and you'd be all set. boy, if i had the chance to move everything to a downstairs, i would do it in a heartbeat!!!!! (i dont have a downstairs
)you can come upstairs at night and be away from the job. personally though, i wouldnt want to go back and forth throughout the day from upstairs to downstairs. i would put everything i need down there. and btw, i only have one adult seat in my DC area.
