I'm doing a new shower right now and thought about a niche, but I had one previously and after a number of years the water got under the tile and started to come loose. If your tile person really knows what they're doing, a failure down the road is probably a small risk. However, I've decided this time to go with a glass shelf attached to the wall. They come in many styles and sizes (corner designs; long and skinny; etc.), they're a whole lot cheaper than paying someone to do a niche, and they can be much easier to keep clean of soap buildup (especially compared to a niche with mosaic tiles and grout lines). You also don't have to worry about injury from breakage because all the ones I researched were made of tempered glass. Lastly, if you don't find exactly the size you want, you could order a unit that has the hardware you like and have a glass shop make up a piece of tempered glass in the size you want that you can substitute. And there are a number of sites that simply sell you the hardware and you get the shelf locally.

Shaddy, I think you have to be using FF, it is a FF add-on. You do not need a link. In FF go to your tool bar, click on tools, then add ons. There will be a search bar in the top right corner, type "no squint" and search. it will come up, choose install and restart FF. That is one of my favorite add-ons. With my cataracts it really helps, both in font size and in coloring those glaring white pages. I didn't understand your question about the colored ink. When this is installed look in the lower right hand corner and click on the numbers with the percent sign. This post was edited by EmmaR on Mon, Apr 8, 13 at 11:09

Lee... I sent off my e-mail to Maureen before I saw that you'd be interested in the way I do Print Screen. I also used to save and paste into Irfanview until Wolf showed me a little German program he used. It saves you having to paste each time you save a screenshot and it is so easy to then save a series of screenshots one after the other. Here's the letter and explanation I sent to Maureen: I have been using a little German program called "Snapsaver" for an easy print screen function. The icon sits down in my tray at screen bottom and I call it up when I need it. With just two clicks, - one to call up the program and the next one to save the screen - it takes a screen copy and saves it to a predetermined folder where I keep all screenshots, so that eliminates having to cut and paste a screen each time you do a print screen. It will take as many shots as you like, just as long as you press the 'print screen' button, and then after a long pause it turns off until you click the icon to 'wake it up' again. Here is one download site at the link below .....I think all commands are in English but I'll go back and check as I see this page is in German. Usually after taking a screenshot I go to the saved snap in the snaps folder and use my resident default pictureviewer and cropper program (VuePrint) - and crop out any unnecessary edges from the screen capture and resize the page to around 800 x 600, which all together sharpens the image and clarifies any blurry text, then I save the cropped image into one of my photo files. VuePrint is an old program and costs very little I think I paid $40...from Hamrick Software and it is so transparent, yet wonderful as it sits there in the background without being noticed but as soon as I bring up a photo, it will crop and zoom in or out, resize, flip over or mirror image a photo. I think you can still download a test version of that program before paying anything. I just noticed that Hamrick's website is promoting his scanning program (VueScan) but at the top centre there is a link to VuePrint. This is such a neat little program! I'm happy to answer any further questions :-). SharonCb Here is a link that might be useful: Snapsaver Download Site

Yes, mnerg; we understand! A "perfect" fit just might not be. I do at least: I would actually really like to see some efficiency curves on those fridges as a function of clearance, say 0.5", 1", 1.5", 2", 3"... Kas? I just bet this stuff gets published but how on earth would one find it? Alison: WOW is that pretty! Those glass front well-light cabinets are so riveting! No wonder you're thrilled. Have you looked at hardware on Lee Valley? Not sure if you're wanting something more unique but I've liked their stuff in the past; haven't looked recently. But it's a great company if you're not familiar with it. Droll David: thanks! You really lifted my day with your nice words. Because funnily enough, I have dreaded my postings imagining anyone who might read them to be rolling their eyes in annoyance. I've been chastened more than once about "overthinking things", which is simultaneously humiliating and annoying since after all, what's a forum like this for if not to obsess? If given permission to be obsessive is it possible to 'overthink'? (Evidently, yes). So anyway -- I completely appreciate your kind words as I do feel immensely self-conscious warbling on about this stuff. People are dying by the thousands on the other side of the globe and I'm spending my time wondering whether to box in my refrigerator; I'm even erasing and retyping it when I spell it wrong. And you too, mnerg: thanks for the seconded booster. As I said, though it's kinda pathetic, you'se-two's kind words really floated me through hours today. Methinks it's time to peruse the FKB since I still haven't got an answer. I agree with that droll David about some essence of intention being transmitted. But since all these kitchens actually are designed, why do some look more-so. And if non-formality is the aim, that's different from haphazard planning. BTW functionally, I should think those boxes would do a number on stagnating the air. And I wonder whether the presence of a mega-hood would assist in air circulation and therefore refrigerator efficiency?
