You've all heard the story about the lady as she's cooking the ham, she cuts it in half. And her daughter asked her why. Turns out the great-grandmother's pot was too small to cook the whole ham, but the dauthers/grands kept cutting the ham in half even when they had bigger pots. Now, toekicks---WHY?

I'm about to build some base kitchen cabinets that will be all drawers, and as I was standing in front of my present ones I asked why the need for a toekick. It seems a better to utilize that space for drawers. I'd like to hear ya'll's thoughts. Thanks
