I don't get it ...

And how come you had to start a new thread for Reason 2? o.O

could someone explain what this is about and get back to me? thanks!

I think s/he is saying that the view is so nice that they'd rather do dishes by hand and look out the window than use their DW...b/c the DW makes the job so short they wouldn't get to stare out the window.

At least that's my take on it!

I think Dodge1959 is saying that the view outside his/her window, which can be seen while standing at the sink, is so lovely that s/he uses the sink more instead of the DW? Or I guess s/he handwashes the dishes more cause the view at the sink is so enjoyable. Don't know why Dodge wrote a second separate post.

Dodge1959, the flowers are so pretty! It looks like a lot of care goes into your garden. My sink doesn't look onto a window, so I imagine it must be really great to have a view from the sink. Wouldn't give up my DW though, no matter what!

Dodge, you should probably post this message on one of the Gardenweb's gardening forums.

Beautiful garden! I'd stand at the sink doing dishes for ages if that was my view...love it!

That is a lovely view.

If you're not going to use your Miele DW, I'll take it! ;^)

well, i am not going to click on that link. Sounds fishy to me, that someone would rather be at a sink rather than in the garden.

Yes those of you that figured we would rather look out the window and see the view as we hand wash the dishes or cook for that matter, are correct!!

Sorry about the subtlety here alto some of you were sharp enough to get it. One reason I posted it was because one user here had said that Her KD wanted to move the sink over to the other side of the kitchen where there was a window that faced the back yard,sooo figured I show her the possibilities.I put those flower beds in when I designed the kitchen as I thought it was part of "The Whole Kitchen Experience" Some of You may have TV's in the Kitchen, some the Kids are there helping so usually these things are considered when you do your design--ie place for kids, family or friends to sit and watch,& a TV you can see when you cook, etc etc etc.

Huh? Then, as davidro says, why not put the dishes in the DW and then go outside and be with those plants?

I don't get the logic.

I also don't get why this needed 3 posts each with a cryptic message in it.

ridiculous.

Here is the post from the user that asked about where the Kitchen Window should be:

Hi,
I'm in the middle of planning a kitchen remodel. We are thinking of moving the sink to the back of the kitchen where we have a large window overlooking the yard. My question is, how will this look? The window is considerably larger than the sink? Will it look off centre?

I'd appreciate any pictures of large windows with sinks beneath them.

Thanks

As I had already posted picures of the bay window above the sink, I thought the 2 pictures I posted would at least give "A different view of things" and maybe some inspiration as to why they might consider moving that window. We love the view from the Window. I had a dear friend that was renting a small Condo, She said "Someday I want to live where I have a window over the sink and enjoy the view---fortunately We were able to help her as our tenants moved out of one of our townhouses we rent--that had such a view , and I rented it to her for 14 years , until She passed away from Lung Cancer.So I guess to many people a kitchen with a view is important?

Anyway One learns a lot from making a post as I did. You learn who "Stops and Smells the roses" and those that¿

Here is a link that might be useful: Post about Kitchen Window

Gary,
Creative way to spark interest in a thread, especially for those of us with Miele DW. What a beautiful view you have. Thanks for sharing, it made me stop for a moment and think about spring, even though there's still some snow in our yard up here in NH!

Thanks for the post Pluckymama, I was going to go back and read the rules for these forums--(Maybe a sense of humour is not allowed?) Alto I'm not bragging about mine.
I just hope this help some folks when they are in the initial design of their kitchens.

Gary

Okay, I get the reason now. I checked this post when
it first came up but never responded.

I pop in later and now I get it. But I must tell you that
something funny went through my head.
I guess I have been watching the Green Channel too much.
I thought the reason you were not using your
dishwasher was to be green. Earth Friendly,
Eco friendly, water conserving, Recycle(ing), tree garden
hugging, super friendly to the planet....
In my mind I thought you were giving a loud message to all
saying don't use your dishwasher
save the environment instead. Ha Ha Hee Hee I have to laugh
because my mind is on this green channel. The Living
with Ed show.

Thanks for the idea. I have a lovely window above my sink,
but I look out to a basketball hoop. I think I might put a
window box out my window. BUT, I am going to use my
Bosch dishwasher, I love it and I think it uses less water.

The possibilities of a windowbox....

great yard-- I'm jealous! jealous of the dishwasher you don't use too!

thanks for sharing your picture.

I got it, Gary, and I see your point! I have gardening plans for my kitchen window, too, especially because there's a garage wall way too close -- I'm thinking maybe trellises with roses or clematis for that issue!!

Beautiful garden . . . thanks for sharing.

Thanks everyone for your postings. Next time I will try not to be quite as subtle. I saw the user's name and just figured it fit. Everybody has been a lot of help here, as I certainly cant think of everything, Thanks for the post on the cookware, got the Emeril set and love it, I know it's not a Miele or Gagananue (Mispelt I'm sure) but cooks great for us.
Next project will be bathroom, so I will be over there quite a bit in an effort not to make a mistake or two that I did in the Kitchen.
So all you folks are a lotta help Thanks again for this GREAT WEB-SITE

Gary

I'll admit that I didn't get the real reason. I thought that you had rigged up a way to reuse dish water into your garden (I believe that tossing soapy water onto roses is supposed to be beneficial - to the roses, that is).

Gary, what, no gorgeous granite in your garden??

One major drawback of my current kitchen is that I don't have a window over my sink - I've had one in my last three houses and always loved it. In the last house, I was able to keep an eye on my eldest daughter in my yard, and in the house before that, keep an eye on the neighbourhood kids, who were always scooping up one of my goofy cats and trying to spirit off with her.

LOL I didn't get it either but I did enjoy looking at the view as well :) I thought you were going to share how much you hated the dang Miele (I hate mine with a passion) heh heh

I have a sink in the corner of two windows. My view is of a lovely lake that sits to the side of and in the front of our house :) I personally find it's much easier to enjoy the view leaning on my elbows on the counter with a glass of wine near by...and a DH loading the DW!

We Love the Miele dishwasher. As there are just 2 of us we don't use it all that much. Just when we have company and occasionally to "Just give the Miele some exercize LOL.
Actually we do have granite in the backyard, the bbq top and around the outside cooktop burners (Gas DCS).Sorry about your window, do you have windows in your kitchen, at all?,Chloe s mom?
I will post some pics of the garden in the garden section in a week or too, Then so not to get accused of being "Off Topic", I will say "OK Tomatoes Al dente Ready" or something to that affect in here so ya will know when to look for the pictures.
