Comments (21)Dear Jeff, I thought it might stir your imagination if I shared some examples of the "messages" churches send through their use of space. the key element in most of these examples is not plant material and may have nothing to do with your church situation. Your project sounds like it will be something different, more along the lines of a way for you to share a gift and personal interest in plants. That may be fine, if it fits with the way your church makes decisions and as long as it is done well, which is probably why you are asking for input. ButÂyour project will send a message. The question is: What will that message be? What message is sent when > Members of a church use an entrance that "everyone" knows about, except newcomers who feel lost and confused after trying the locked front door. > Members tolerate a serious odor issue--I once overheard the child of a visiting family ask, "Mom, why does it stink in here?" > Additions to a church create a rectangular structure with an exterior courtyard in its center. It is tended for years by a primary donor, but after her death the tiny garden is mowed and hacked back and left forlorn. > Three times in 10 years a congregation votes down a proposal to install an elevator with exterior access, although fewer and fewer elderly members can safely navigate the 15 or so steps to enter the sanctuary or the 11 steps to go to a fellowship dinner in the basement. Now try these > A congregation carefully thinks through how to indicate the usual entrance: signs, sidewalks, greeters. > A congregation debates intensely the merits of putting in additional parking, creating a playground, or providing a memorial garden to honor the memory of members who have died. They decide on a capital fund drive to purchase a neighboring property so they can increase parking. They will build the play area on the existing property to meet a community need. > A congregation in rural Illinois discovers a desire to deepen its spiritual life and builds a prayer labyrinth in the neighboring cornfield (acreage belonging to the church). They invite the region to make use of this experience. The income from harvesting the corn goes toward local mission efforts. So, I guess I'm wondering what message your congregation feels called to send to its community? Wellspring...See MoreThermadore oven owners..Please tell me about your experience!!!
Comments (22)If you are having an installition tech do the install, he will undoubtedly, cut out the back of the cabinet. I installed into a 27" standard oven cabinet. and so I had close tolerances and careful front surgery to do on the cabinet. Installing into the larger cabinet should be easier for your tech. I was doing the install myself, and when I encountered the depth issue, I called a carpenter friend that does a lot of kitchen installs. I asked him how often he has this kind of problem and what he does about it. He told me that it happens about half the time, and he just starts cutting the back until he gets enough space. If cutting the back panel isn't enough, he said that he just "starts hacking the drywall away" until he gets enough space. I had enough depth after I cut a sizeable piece out of the back panel. It amazes me that the appliance manuf. don't design to the standard cabinet size spec, and don't warn you that this could happen. I had a real sinking feeling, when I first realized that it was not going to fit into the cabinet. It turns out that cutting the back panel does not compromize the structural integrity of the cabinet. BTW, I installed into Thomasville cabinets. But I did check other brands of cabinets, and it was going to be a problem in all of them. If you were concerned about oven size, why didn't you get a 30" oven? That is monstous inside. I could not fit a 30" cabinet in, but I would have preferred to have the 30". Goodluck Carguy...See Morewall oven and microwave advice please
Comments (5)I would get a built in microwave. They come with trim kits and can easily be switched out with another microwave from the same manufacturer. As long as the microwave fits above your oven in your layout and is easy to use why not? Most trim kits are about $150 and allow the microwave to vent properly. Look on ebay, that is where I got mine for $50 for my Sharp Microwave. I think the Bosch ovens have had mixed reviews. What is your budget for an oven? Shop around at your local appliance stores and see if they have floor samples that they are getting rid of. I got my Miele Dishwasher, warming drawer and Dacor rangetop this way. Also my Liebherr fridge for 50% off. Many seem to be really happy with their Miele, Fisher Paykel and several of the GE monograms. Budget is a great determiner and also what functionality you want in the ovens. Good luck!...See MoreCommercial countertop oven advice please
Comments (4)hgtv, sorry you moved this down, I've been thinking about the Cadco too. It looks like from their specs they are a countertop/portable unit ONLY and not built in. I know joe blowe has one, I think cpovey did also, you may have to google search for more info. I don't think either one built them it. cpovey is a caterer, fwiw, if you can track him/her down. Here is a link that might be useful: Cadco...See Morellaatt22
