Comments (1)Elsewhere on this forum or on another forum on this website there was a good deal of talk about how bad LG customer service is. So I would stay away from them. We have a Bosch and love it. Unfortunately, HD does not carry it....See MoreQuestion About Clearing/Dishwashing After A Meal
Comments (22)I don't mind if people want to "help" by bringing things into the kitchen from the dining room, but that's as far as I want to go. I don't put my good china or crystal in the DW and would rather set it aside to do later or in the morning. I will reluctantly let guests help put leftovers away, clear the dining room or prepare it for coffee and dessert -- but please don't try to help me clean up my kitchen! In fact, the few times I've agreed to letting guests have it their way and let them help clear up and do the dishes -- has resulted in broken china and delaying the evening. It seems like I'm always glad to see those people on the other side of the door! This makes me sound like a shrew for sure! But I've enjoyed a reputation as a good hostess, and people forcing themselves into my kitchen and into my way of doing things sets me back a little. I accommodate them to placate them, but it's MY house, after all! My sister is the best! She will always say -- "I need a job or something to do." I always say "you're on vacation" and then she says, "I know your at your best when everyone's out of your kitchen".

Comments (25)Everyone is so kind and generous with your comments! Thank you! No link for the glass accent tiles as I purchased them locally in Anaheim. There is a street that is lined with nothing but tile and granite stores for several miles. You can negotiate and get really great deals on tile compared to standard tile stores. I did see some similar tiles at cooltiles.com, but I've never dealt with them. Or do a search on copper tile? We didn't really plan the 'tray ceiling', it was the left over hole from the 1980's fluorescent lights. We had originally planned to expand the width of the 'tray ceiling' but ran into plumbing from the second story. So we just repaired the drywall after DH finished all the electrical and put up crown molding to dress it up a bit. Glad you like it! Big and long decision to get custom cabinets. I had gotten detailed quotes from about 6 different places, including Lowes (Kraftmaid & Diamond), Buycabinets.com (Kraftmaid) and a couple of other local places with name brand cabinets. It is amazing how the prices varied with the same exact layout (free from Lowes) for the same type of cabinets. DH is a hobby wood worker and volunteered to make the cabinets (he made the office cabinets & family room TV cabinet), but I wanted them in done within my lifetime. We also looked at custom cabinets and SIL recommended her custom cabinet guy. His price was only $1000 more than the lowest quote, but not the most expensive. Since DH is very picky about quality (remember he can make them) we went with the custom cabinets. I was also able to get the exact color stain that I wanted. We were able to purchase extra stain to stain our own molding to match and saved a lot of $$. We are very, very happy with the design, quality and installation!...See MoreWeek 34: Jonsing to get outside? Or getting things done inside?
Comments (6)Yesterday we started moving the tree top chipping up the "hill" in the back yard and spreading it onto the "mini orchard" to be space. It started to rain big drops so we quit. It rained for the next 8 hours. No rain, some blue skies so after I feed us, back at it. No baby, she's thankfully settled down! Yes, Doug, tons more light. The neighbor across the street too, my trees blocked a fair amount of their morning sun. Pictures coming, real soon....See Morealbert_135 39.17°N 119.76°W 4695ft.
