miele dishwasher- yes I am an idiot
Comments (7)Plates in the insert slots should be held completely vertical. Hold the insert so the stemware flippers are at your left hand. On the bottom of the right side of the insert are two loops; hook the loops below the crossbars on the lower rack. Then push the left side of the insert down to snap that side in. There is a bit of room for the insert to be positioned front to back....See More17' Island! - Yes, I am crazy - Layout Help Please
Comments (30)I loved Ina's kitchen too, so I can't wait to see your finished kitchen! And I'm dong a 10' island with no upper cabs so we have similar taste :-) Here are my thoughts at first glance: - Ditto what Marcolo said about the range being butt to butt with cleanup, so moving the sink would be good. - It might just be me, but I feel like a 48" range (nix the speed oven) would have more visual balance with the island size. - Where will your dishes and silverware be stored? I know you said in drawers, but where will those drawers be? In the pantry? - Do you envision using the two DWs daily? Or one more when you're entertaining? We're doing two as well, but are putting the second one in our pantry and are going to use that as the "hide the mess" spot when we entertain. - Can you post your whole first floor? I searched for it but the references to it have been removed from your photobucket acct. - The current island seating looks like it might be hard to get in and out of because of the cabinet sides on the two end stools. Especially if two people are sitting in the middle seats. - I'd consider doing L-shaped seating and increase the seating amount to 6 or even 8. You said you have two kids but may have another one. I'd want to have a seat for at least everyone in the family, and ideally be able to accommodate each child having one friend over and all of them being able to sit at the island. - If you did do the L shaped seating, you could do cabs back to back on the other end and have more storage in one area. I drew your island at half inch scale so you can see what the L-shaped seating would give you and how much space you'll still have. You could also do backless chairs, like Ina, so they're hidden underneath when not in use. Since your den and nook is at that end, I imagine people will gravitate towards that end when you're entertaining....See MoreAm I insane? I think that my GC thinks I am.
Comments (19)The one thing to check, I think, is if the GC was trying to warn you off. Does he really want to work over the holidays? Do his subs? Are they taking their kids on vacation just when you thought they'd be working? The GC might want the job too much to tell you no-can-do, and figure he can probably make it work out, rather than being eager for your start date. If you're sure he and the subs are on board, go for it! And maybe add an incentive bonus for them to be done, cleaned up and signed off by January 25 (sooner if that's the quote), which gives you a week to get your act together before your party. Plus a penalty if it's not done by February 1. It can be done if everyone's on board. I only worry that less than 2 months over the holidays is awfully tight, if you really want them done in time for the party....See MoreThanksgiving -- Yes I am!
Comments (4)Truly it is about being Thankful. I am Thankful for my family and friends. I am Thankful for the health and happiness we have. I am thankful for the opportunities I have had over the past year to help and make a difference in my community. I am Thankful for having known, loved and been loved by the people who have passed on this last year and the ability to remember them with others. I am Thankful for a future of the same. I hope your Thanksgiving will be special with much to be Thankful for. LIL...See MoreUser
