Kohler Ladina is the wrong size per spec sheet
Comments (6)After reading your post, I checked our 2 Ladena sinks still sitting in their boxes since we have the granite people coming today to make templates. They are model 2214 and should be 18 x 12 inches. One is 18 1/4 inches wide and the other is 18 3/4 inches wide. I'm glad I checked since now they can cut our counter tops to the correct size. Luckily will not make too much of a difference for us as long as they use the smaller sink for sizing....See MoreSpec sheet??
Comments (14)Here are the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) specification categories. Writing a spec is unique to a given project so the full set of choices is usually contained in a software program that costs big bucks and is copyrighted. Specification writing software is more likely to be owned by an architect or spec writer than by a home builder, designer or draftsman. Using a spec from another project is tempting but it can result in important omissions and errors. No two jobs are exactly alike specially if they are in different materials markets and climates or the budgets are far apart. Let me know if you want information about one of the sections.

Comments (12)Keep in mind, the lookback period for disbursing assets before going into long term care with the express intention of having the county or state pick up the tab is now 5 years. Little late for the OP to think about that advice. That being said, I've heard of those CCRC faculities - there was a large, some church affiliated one in the Maryland suburbs of DC. To get in, you turn over everything you own, including your house, and they take care of you until you die. The financial records, etc. are necessary for them to insure that your parents will always be in the category of "private pay" and their assets are enough to insure that the institution will never find themselves not being paid for their services. And also they want to know if the potential residents deliberately impoverished themselves by giving away assets within the last 5 years. In other words - if this is like the facility in Maryland - if you didn't have any money, you couldn't get into their facility in the first place. It would be a better deal if your parents were younger and in need of alternate living arrangements. It's the 260k deposit (not to mention the house which they would sell if your parents' expenses exceeded the $260k) that gives me pause though and I'd definitely want all my questions answered before making any commitments. If on death, any unused portion is returned to the estate of the deceased as opposed to being kept by the CCRC, well, that's fine. But you would want, and have every right to expect, an accurate and detailed accounting of every expense incurred - down to the last penny! On the other hand - my Mother was a private pay resident of an excellent long term care facility to the tune of approx. 5k per month. She was only there for 11 months and the tab was close to 60k altogether. However, she did not have to put up a deposit or sign over her house and assets - with her financial POA, we just had to write out one of her checks every month. Had I not taken care of her at home for the previous 5 years, her nursing home expenditures would have definitely approached the 250k plus mark. But again, her other income generating assets, Federal Employees survivor's pension, etc. were all available for her to be able to pay her own way. There's enough anxiety over having parents who can no longer live in their own homes - any undue anxiety over the money aspect of it all makes it worse, in my opinion. If they can't or won't answer questions to your satisfaction and you still have reservations - I'd say, look elsewhere....See MoreJust Got a New Maytag Bravos XL Washer
Comments (54)What does it have anything to do with who we vote for? Times change everything anyway. Look back 10 years then 20 years, it all changes no matter what, who or when. Voting has nothing to do with the washer problem. Oh, maybe you voted Maytag or Mickey Mouse. Water restrictions were going to happen one day along with all the other restrictions we have on our environment due to lack of education on preserving what we have left. We all just have to do our part where we can. All of the water that is used in my house is cleaned and reused in my yard instead of me having to water my aerobic system does it for me. I compost what I can and do my recycling when I can, and since my home is 1925 its not exactly "energy efficient" but when I upgrade I make sure to upgrade to "energy efficient" if compatible. Now we just need to get Maytag to answer all of our questions, but then again why would they? It just helps them to not answer, most people will just go buy another washer instead. They know that everything is made to be thrown away by the consumer. We have all gotten too lazy to repair what we have the manufactures have us under their thumbs. Make a product expensive enough to ride the fence on repairing the problem, at that point we give up and buy something new. I think we all need to get mad at the manufactures and hold them accountable. Lets take out all of this madness from 2020 out on them instead of everyone else. Who is with me?? #BoycottMaytagBecauseTheyAreFullOfShit, #MaytagBrovosXLWasherIsAPainInTheAssToLearn, #WhatMaytagIsMadeInTheUSA-Really?, #MaytagBrovosXLWasher-Sucks....Water, #PoundingLaundryOnRocksAtRiverWouldWorkBetterThanThisMaytag (Not real hashtags, I was only being funny about the boycott. Not trying to start a war of the washers. Please people put the rocks back in the river after you finish your wash, you know what the bible says about throwing stones.)...See Morecpartist
