You are welcome. That's why we're here.

Roy, does your kitchen participation extend beyond build and repair? Are you allowed--say, for sous chefing--to actually participate in food preparation? If so, and if, as I suspect, you are substantially taller than the Moon midget, consider a prep sink in a counter that is of a height comfortable for you. I built this kitchen before 5-3 Chris became my wife, and made the counter top 38.5 inches tall. When I build the dream kitchen, she will have a lower counter for when she is allowed to do prep work.

Memory flash: I calculated for a one-and-a-half-inch plank floor over the plywood. Somehow that never happened and we walk on linoleum only. But I find the counter-top height to be comfortable. Haven't measured myself recently; I used to be 5-11 1/4, gravity has no doubt lowered the number.
