Need help in writing letter of reference
Comments (5)You can certainly do what Sheilajoyce suggested, but if you want to include his name in the cover letter (which I assume is going out with the resume) I would get it in right at the beginning: Dear (whoever in Human Resources), Craig Willoughby (or Craig Willoughby of Willoughby Electronics, you get the idea) suggested that I contact you regarding available employment. And then go on from there about the applicant. I think it's important to mention the name right off the bat. For one thing, you don't know how much of the cover letter will be read....See Moreresume help
Comments (21)RoseAbbey, Good for you! I have not read all the replies, but I think your accounting experience at DuPont will help you in any retail experience. Yes, do a simple resume and a cover letter. Most retail jobs at my local mall require that you fill out an application and then schedule an interview. It is at the interview that I would suggest having your resume available. This may set you apart from the other applicants.

Comments (8)Thanks!!! Here is a sketch of my planned range wall. You see how the hood (54" VentAHood) is spaced out from the wall. That is to allow duct to run from back of vent hood to the exterior wall. That is where the existing vent duct is. Also with the hood spaced out, I think it will better capture greasy airflow from the range. I have just enough ceiling height to mount the hood high enough that I can stand under it with plenty of headroom. So I am trying to think of a treatment for the wall behind the range. I am thinking of a curved, barrel shaped wall as shown. That reminds me of the subways in Paris. So I got the idea of using beveled "Metro" subway tiles. Then I thought it would be nice for my wife to add a personal touch with hand lettered tile work, fashioned after the station signs in the Metro. In our case, the sign would have the name of a fictional Metro station, "Porte de Land". Because we live in Portland (Oregon), get it? The font is "Alphabet Metro", it appears. I'm not sure how I'd have to construct the wall, given that the barrel part would be about 50" above and overhanging the cooking surface. Need to check code etc, but I think I can use a couple layers of Durock (cement board), cut in strips to form the curve, then covered with the ceramic tile. I was going to use Durock on the range wall anyway....See MoreResuming "Terrible Kitchen" planning - chimney is going!
Comments (20)So, so much to think about. Thanks again, everyone! I have gotten so used to the first plan in my OP (benjesbride's plan) that the idea of looking at other layouts is overwhelming. There are so many decisions to be made in this process, and I love finally making a decision and then closing that door and moving on. I have no problem with the idea of moving around the range, DW, and sink, but I'm not sure about moving the fridge. I will continue to look at the plans and try to envision those layouts. This kind of project will be PERFECT for VR someday. Benjesbride: yes, still planning to use Ikea boxes. And the guy we are looking at hiring actually likes installing them! As to the placement of the range, would it be a nice view from the DR if we just have a ss panel behind it and a small, plain hood? I don't really want to tile behind the range b/c it would be such a pain to keep clean, and I don't want a large hood b/c I need that cabinet space above. So Idk about that being a particularly *attractive* view from the DR, but it may be on par with the sink (which will have a nice backsplash but will probably by canceled out by dirty dishes peeking out). Sena: that is a cool pull-out table, and a 30" sink cab is fine. Is there a particular reason to have the fridge along the wall with everything else? Is that just to avoid that awkward corner? bpathome & Debbi: I like the idea of pulling that little bit of counter/cab forward. I imagine that is something our contractor/subs can do. And Debbi, having a narrow counter/table on the opposite wall is appealing. You think there is enough space? With the size we have to work with, it may be challenging to make it look uncluttered/uncramped. artemis: thanks for the feedback on floor and cabinets. That's disappointing to hear about the floor. My kids are fairly rough on floors. In fact, the pull-up bar you can see in the doorway in my pic is used not just for pull-ups but for swinging on and then jumping (hence the mat, purchased after a hard fall to the tile floor). We currently have a cat with claws, and we are planning to get a dog in the future. Would luxury vinyl flooring have the same issues? I don't dislike stone floors in general, but every time I look at pics for this kitchen, I am drawn to the marmoleum. Maybe I just need to look harder. And as to cabs, yes, we are hard on those too. One of my kids has a motor delay, so things get dropped, banged on, and scraped across pretty often. Good point about being able to touch up painted cabinets though. I wouldn't mind doing that every so often. Again, thanks for all the feedback. This is exciting!...See Moreigloochic
