Thanks, still have to design and build/have built medicine cabinet and storage cabinet over toilet, paint edging for one edge of tile, redo window sill (too wide now that tile is up), paint door trim and door, install granite, faucet, sink, drawers and handles... Well, phoned CS this morning, she asked "Did you clean the walls first" (slight language barrier as think she must be French LOL), "of course" I replied. Thinking aha, that's probably what it was. DH installed glass when I was away, and I'm pretty darn sure he would NOT have cleaned it off before he applied the seal (comes with very high bond tape). So, not sure how we will address the seal on the stationary glass, we're thinking somehow heat it up (maybe with hair dryer) and try and reseal it... They will be sending out new seals via FedExpress (hopefully today), but DH wants to try using the heating up method to get these current ones to reseal, and keep the new ones as back-ups. They seem pretty securely fastened today... Dreaming, the bottom shelf is a piece of our granite 'Aran Creme', and the back is a stone mosaic, probably limestone or travertine marble. We will use the same mosaic as backsplash for the vanity along with matching marble pencil liners for edging, still have to decide how high to go...

IMHO....spend the twenty even though it's a rip. You didn't say how old or what model but generally.....those aftermarket "vibration absorbers" have a different purpose from the machine's original feet. The machine's feet are designed to provide a solid base so that the machine's suspension components can handle vibration and imbalance when they occur. For that, they need equal or almost-equal bearing on those supporting feet in order to work properly. I would not introduce a material of unknown/dissimilar compressibility on a single foot for that reason.

Hey kateskouros On the GVI website they recommend just trying the pads without the discs first (discs are adhesive to stick the vibration pads to the floor - I think). My concern would be that the only way you can move the machines even a bit is to lift them out of the pads - could be bad if you need a service call. Not sure on other surfaces but on tile the pads don't move nearly as easily as the feet of the machines (I'm guessing this is true on all surfaces as inhibiting the movement from the vibration is a major function of these). The guys from the delivery service didn't follow the instruction provided by GVI (which I printed out and told them). So instead of leveling the washer in place and then putting on the dryer they stacked the two units and then tried to push them in place - tough to do. I have since moved my machines a bit as I needed to push them towards the wall on the right enough that I can get my hand around on the left to reach the taps and plugs (the former nearly 25 year old pair had the dryer on a stand and the top loading washer was on casters so you could pull it forward, it was very easy to get at the taps with the washer pulled forward. All that to say I'd avoid the discs if I could.

Sam...it just gets worse...lol A few weeks ago...maybe 2 1/2 months...I don't remember... I may have posted about it.. I dropped something on the floor while sitting in my computer chair. I tried to bend over in the chair and pick it up....the chair didn't like it and bucked me out... I fell on my butt then the chair flipped over and hit me on the head... I thought it was funny at the time....you know..Funniest home video stuff. But later my right hip started aching when I'd sit in my computer chair for very long. Then about 3 - 4 weeks ago I lean forward in that chair and something popped..Now I ache and hurt there all the time. I keep putting off going to the doc. Maybe come Monday I'll call. (everytime I make up my mind to go it feels better for a few days) I'm wondering if I broke something or cracked it.(no jokes about my butt being cracked ...lol) and then the fall at the wrestling match the other night added to some hurts.. I want to go back to my 40s or 50s Sorry you are hurting...it just isn't fun patti
