What are your thoughts on Amana?
Comments (17)@HU-431203857, Regards to "loose" tubs, all toploader washers nowadays (except Speed Queen) are designed with the tubs more freely-moving than in the past, hanging from spring-dampened suspension rods. It's not unusual that the suspenion rods go bad in 5 to 10 years, depending on how much use the machine gets. People think that small loads are less wearing on the machine than large loads but that's not true. It's how often the machine is run that increases the mechanical wear. Replacing the suspension rods is a common and reasonably simple repair. Whirlpool took control of Amana in 2006 when it came along with their purchase of the Maytag company. Amana washers produced by Whirlpool at that time were the older Whirlpool design. They introduced a different mechanical design in 2010 which presumably is the design of your mother's machine ... but that is not known for sure without the model number. Cite the model and serial numbers here, they are coded respectively with market introduction date and the factory production date. The model number allows look-up of the parts diagrams for the mechanical design, regards to what may be involved in the spin knocking....See MoreWhat does your window look like over your master bath tub?
Comments (17)Well, you sort of have to use your imagination with this photo. It shows the tub location with a moderately sized window right over it. Widow is second floor and overlooks a lake, it's totally private. Put a pleated window shade over it, I think it's Hunter-Douglas? It's a top-down, bottom-up, which is great in a bath. If privacy was a factor, you can use the "bottom-up" feature to just have the shade cover the bottom half of the window, so you still have privacy while still maintaining a bit of the view and a bit of the natural light. In this photo you can see the shade is slightly "bottom-up". Mongo...See MoreAm I crazy to paint master bath black to accent tub/update vanity?
Comments (38)No, I would not paint a bathroom in a home I'm trying to sell black. That is too specific to appeal to the masses (which is your target audience). Could a designer make black walls look amazing? Yes. Can people on this forum send you pictures of bathrooms with black walls? Yes, But none of that relates to you because you're not a designer and "most" people will probably not respond positively to that. Yes, your bathroom is very dated. But what I would do is start with A) a budget, and B) an overall plan. Get someone with some decorating sense to help you BEFORE you do anything. There are too many things wrong in that space to start calling it all out without knowing how much money you have to spend on this and the style of the home, but in general if you can't remove that paneling then you're looking at painting it a light, neutral color. You're looking at painting all of that cabinetry and trim. You're looking at a new counter top and sinks. You will need new mirrors (you need two, one over each sink), new lighting fixtures and new faucets and cabinet hardware. And then you're going to have to remove that weird angled wall piece, I'm not sure what that is actually, but it has to be removed....See MoreWhat are your thoughts on eliminating the bathtub for a shower?
Comments (35)Lets face it, Bathtubs are a waste of space and water today. Bathubs in master baths have become options in probably most new home builds. We ”older” and by older, I mean gen X and older grew up w tubs and old habits die hard so we like them for the most part. Millennials and younger home buyers are more in tune with environmentally friendly items. If when you sell your home, you are marketing to a younger crowd, they are more likely not to want or need a tub. You definitely wouldnt need a huge one in the master but a tub in a secondary bath would probably be a plus. If everything is the same between two homes I like, Id rather have a nicer shower over a smaller shower w a tub jammed in there....See Moreweedyacres
