If you can install a decent fridge by simply raising the cabinet, I'd wager
that any cosmetic concerns will be minimal once you experience the luxury of
a dependable appliance. The raised cabinet top isn't a bad idea either. How
much are you looking at raising it? Of course your westy will only be worth
$6000 thus customized...
