Buehl, please do! I was just trying to save something of use. I'd been checking the GW all night, turned my back for 15 minutes to watch the Health Care vote, and whammo! all the posts were gone. I kept refreshing, thinking, "This can't be!"

Hi Maine Susan, this thread is actually a 2009 version of the all-important "New to Kitchens Forum" info thread, so the above reference to the search boxes no longer applies to the format since GW was migrated to Houzz. The link to the updated version of this thread is below. Buehl has had to rewrite many parts of the thread since moving to Houzz, so be sure to read the updates in the comments after the first post; unfortunately some threads lost content or needed to be updated after the move here. We are all working to try to keep the newer one linked below on Page One, as it truly is a treasure trove of great stuff! Glad you found it! New to Kitchens? Read Me First!

bump! ready to post some pictures, woohoo!
