Hey, nice to see someone else from OH into CPs. What part are you from? Mailing a plant in December is difficult to say the least, but I may be able to actually bring you something in person if you live close enough or are willing to meet up somewhere. We should obviously discuss this further if you're interested so email me. You can also check out my web site if you wanna see my collection. Here is a link that might be useful: Tangled Web of Aracknight

SouthernStitcher said:Â I heard there are some that will work with your existing GD for food disposal, and was interested maybe in that. External garbage disposers have nothing to do with dishwashers in regards to food scrap disposal. Any handling of food scraps must be done inside the dishwasher. There are, of course, dishwashers that have food macerators/choppers, but regardless of popular opinion and demonstrations of running a full-size baked cake through the machine, they are NOT intended to handle a large volume of food scrap as if they are a disposer. They *can* get clogged. Dishwashers nowadays use minimal amounts of water, 1.25 gals or less per fill ... so flushing food scrap out of them isn't on par with running a faucet for several minutes through a garbage disposer. As has been said, *any* dishwasher on the market, except perhaps the very lowest-end models, should not require extensive prerinsing. I scrape, but don't rinse (not even a Rinse/Hold cycle), and routinely leave dishes for several days before running the load.

I’d like your advice on master bathroom layout.

We like having a water closet also. If you end up building a 16' vanity, which is enormous, you could build linen areas on either side and a pull-out laundry. If you want a centered sit-down make-up area, you could have that also. 16' is a huge expanse of space to work with. The top parts of the linens/towers could be set-back if you want, or flush with the rest of the vanity box fronts. You could have loads of drawers, no need for a small linen next to the shower. Save that spot for towel hooks or a bar and/or perhaps some nice art. I have a tower, and so if you decide you want them, have your fabricator make you 2 extra pieces of stone, with the same edge profile as your counter, and place them on top of your main counter, then your tower sits on that. It's like placing your tower on top of a cutting board. I learned this from a designer who showed pictures on HOUZZ of water-damaged towers because over the years, water will eventually damage the wood. This way, your wood tower is just so slightly elevated from your main counter, and it will not get damaged by water over the years. You can also put your electrical low, turned sideways and outside of the towers, so that you don't have to have it in your backsplash, wall or mirror. And you can put electrical inside to charge toothbrushes, razors and such. For your laundry area, it can be a pull-out, or a tilt-out. If you are having custom cabinets made, your cabinet builder can make the laundry area look like real drawers, like my picture above. The other side can be actual drawers and provide you lots of storage. In the middle you could either have a make up area, or another bank of drawers. I don't have a make up are in the bathroom, but I think people usually drop the height down for that area if they do it.

My rug budget is low, but I’d still like the whole thing!
Q

Hi Jinx, Not sure if you are venting cat stuff (can relate!) or if you really do want to get a rug on a budget... We have a cat, used to have catS and we live in the dirty woods. I have a real Persian rug that can handle the cat (all our animals over the years prefer to yak and have accidents on the authentic Persian rug, not the $60 walmart special right next to it). But I had to replace our $60 wm special, which I really did adore. After much head scratching and searching, I found this on Wayfair a year or so ago. 5x9 and a matching 3x5 rug for nearby. Both for under $200 with free shipping. It came in many different color combos and also many different patterns and sizes. It's adequate quality for our needs what with woods living and cat who thinks we don't know she angry scratches it at night when we are sleeping. I put my price limits in the search engine and I sifted through about 500+ offerings. I felt pretty good about the purchase and still do. If my authentic Persian FIL saw the new rugs he would be upset, but he doesn't have to live in the woods and worry about a good rug. The new robot vacuum can handle the fringe but does do "that" to it (shown in photo). I'm fine with it. I have so many other things to clean and take care of I found out I don't care if the fringe is a little out of sorts. Anyhow, it's good enough and I don't have to worry about it between dirt and cat activities. I think we'll get quite a few years out it and when the shown side gets yucky, I'll turn it around and start fresh again with the side that lives under the ottoman and chair. :)

She's Â¾ ShihTzu and Â¼ Maltese. Both the Mommy and Daddy weigh around 10lbs each...so she's probably not going to be very big. She's the spitting image of Jasper, the Daddy.

Yep..I've decided to keep her.*S*

What a surprise, you're keeping her! LOL Perfect name. I don't think I have ever seen a puppy, as young as she was when I first saw her, that had that much hair. Congratulations, on the new addition.
