How do I "call up" waiting installations?
Comments (3)Thanks, I forgot to mention this is with Windows 8, but I am still operating like it is Windows 7. I just rebooted the computer and haven't yet seen the Java update dialog box. I expect it up shortly. There it is, it didn't offer the usual top right side choices for minimize and close, but it has a active link to set the time I want to make the update. I clicked that and was returned to this message box. I'll send and see if the install is hiding behind my browser page....See MoreWho installed your appliances? Kitchen GC or appliance dealer?
Comments (7)Appliance dealer and the guy they sent knew everything about every appliance. He gave tips about using the GE Monogram oven and GE Monogram induction cooktop, the Miele dishwasher and the F/P dishwasher drawer. He even came back on the weekend when we discovered during the installation that the electrician had not wired properly for the induction cooktop and the installation had to be delayed until the electrician fixed the wiring. I know we probably lucked into a real gem but in general I would go with someone who did this every day for a living rather than someone who did this as part of a larger and more diversified job.

Comments (5)Tarnator - I agree there are too many choices out there and the prices are insane! I found mine at overstock.com and paid less than 1/2 the price. This sink listed at $500, I paid $195. This sink is well made. There is an undercoating for durability and noise reduction. I have to say this sink was a bit heavy. I had a hard time getting it out of the box. I preferred the single over the double b/c I wanted to be able to wash pot and pans without a problem, including my grill's racks. Its absolutely gorgeous! Love it! Good luck with your decision....See MoreDo I need my appliances prior to custom kitchen cabs install?
Comments (6)You need the appliances, but perhaps not on site. My cabinetmaker insisted that the fridge drawers, dishwasher and hood be delivered early so he could take real world measurements on the exact models (inc. where the plugs were). He also went to the appliance store to measure the coolers and ovens on the showroom floor. The cabinets were then installed and the appliances were instealled, then the cabinetmaker came back to finish the panelling of the appliances. The reason for having them on site, however, is if there's any question about the fit. If you didn't have the appliances when the cabinets were made, they may need to be dry fitted before anything gets installed to make sure everything is just right....See MoreAnglophilia
