I was conservative and did nothing that could not be
reversed to put the Dometic back in.

So I made a cabinet face exactly like the frame of
the Dometic.  That means the flange on the left to fit
into the groove and the flange on the right that laps
the right-hand cabinet.  Then when I decided to put the
drawer at the bottom, I cut it to make the minimum flange
around the fridge.  The rest was the drawer front.

All this was 3/4" birch plywood.  All painted with my
Westy match paint (posts a few days ago.)  The drawer
sides and back are the same birch ply.

I could remove the Invitrio, put the latch back on the
door, and reinstall the Dometic tomorrow--but I won't.

PS: anybody in the Denver area want 3/4" birch ply?  I
have enough for 4-5 Invitrio installs, or a bookcase, or....
Left over from a remodel project and I need to move it out.
Guess I could go into competition with Tom and his BZ
shelf, even offering a Westy painted version....  ;-)
