do you really LOVE your W/D pedestals? (X-post)
Comments (18)This is interesting. I got my pedestals a few months after getting my machines. I felt like it was a big pain to unload my washer without the pedestals. I was going to do a platform in my new house, but really couldn't wait to raise them up. I do think their height is kind of a pain. I actually like the convenience of the old top loader b/c stuff didn't fall on the floor as much. I hope to get a movable cart for my new house and put it under the washer to catch the stuff that falls as I move it to the dryer. PS--I love seeing the laundry room pictures. I am pulling the trigger on my laundry room cabinets today. They are going to be Granny Smith green--a color called Gleeful Green by SW! I'm nervous, but it should be a fun color!...See Moredo you really LOVE your W/D pedestals? (X-post)
Comments (21)I replaced my old Neptune FL with a new set of Samsung's this week. My old Neptune set on the floor for almost 10 years. I love the pedestals. I debated between just making a stand or buying the actual pedestals. I was concerned I wouldn't like the height and then would be tearing out the built in. I don't have a problem with the detergent height and I'm 5'3". The only thing I've noticed is the pump is a little noisier with it being on a metal pedestal opposed to the floor. The noise is obviously carrying through the metal box. I'm comparing it to my old Maytag FL. However, the new Samsung doesn't make the "airplane noise" that the old Maytag did. Even when the Maytag was new it was a different sound than the new Samsung is making. Also, since they are so light weight, I would also be concerned with certain brands walking the floor. As far as folding, I always take it upstairs and fold or hang. The only thing I fold, in the laundry room, are the towels. Today I just stacked them on top of the units. No problem. We always come through the garage, so you can see the laundry room. So all dirty clothes are behind cabinets or in the chute. All the clean clothes are taken upstairs and either folded or hung up. Making a platform would not be difficult, especially if you don't put drawers in the front....See MoreD-shape sink
Comments (3)I have a Ticor D shaped sink for my prep sink. Honestly....it was bigger than I thought it was going to be (big enough to be a primary sink) and I was disappointed I had to mount the faucet to the side. But after using it for a year, I LOVE this sink AND the faucet placement. This sink is not far from my cooktop and it's so handy to set pots right on the counter and swivel the faucet over to fill them. I would definitely buy this sink again and side-mount the faucet. No regrets!...See MoreIs there room for a sink tip out in the Ticor S405 D shape sink?
Comments (9)Positano--I had a sink tip out in my last house and I loved it. It was the perfect place to keep the nail brush, nail file, scrubbing pad, steel wool pad, old toothbrush for cleaning stuff... and my rings. Actually, I ordered the kit & installed it myself and would have had one in this house but don't have enough room for one. (I'd love to have them in the bathrooms, too.) As far as space req'd, here's a link with a couple of different options. The slim series requires 1 11/16''; can't find info for the other style. Keep in mind that you'll have approx. 3/4'' of space available where the false front sits on the face frame. IOW, get a measurement of how much space is between the sink & face frame & add 3/4'' to that. If you're doing custom countertops, you can also bump out the sink cabinet (or the entire run) a bit in order to gain some extra space.
