Need help on picking out low budget appliances
Comments (24)Hey, rednecksmama, we should be comparing notes! I also have a small galley kitchen and a relatively low budget. Agonized over appliance selection for some time, but finally pulled the trigger yesterday and ordered everything. (Yay! One more thing crossed off the list!) For a 30" bottom freezer fridge, I was *going* to go with the GE Profile - it seemed the nicest quality. To cut a few hundred dollars, the Maytag seemed good also. If you have 31" and want counter-depth, Fisher & Paykel make a beauty for about the same price as the GE Profile. (I didn't have the extra inch!) When it came down to it, though, I went for the Frigidaire Professional top freezer. I'm used to a top freezer, was afraid the bottom freezer drawer would seem too clunky, plus the Frigidaire was half the price of the GE Profile (and is still quite a nice refrigerator!). I bought a gas range, so can't help you with electric, but brand-wise I decided on GE over Frigidaire. The Frigidaire I was considering would have given me a lot more features for the money (convection, 5th burner), but that actually worried me that they would have cut on quality to shove all that extra stuff in. (And the cheaper Frigidaire range without the fancy features didn't have SS handles, which was a deal-breaker for me. ;-)) I also got a fairly simple GE OTR microwave to go with the GE stove. Heard not-great things about Frigidaire microwave noisiness and reliability. If I'd had room for a 24" dishwasher, I was going to go with KitchenAid. Seems to be great quality and features, only a little bit of a splurge. The Sears web site is great for looking at user reviews of appliances, btw. They have a good comparison engine, too. I had decided not to consider Kenmore appliances since I've heard complaints about Sears' repair dept. I think your budget is perfectly reasonable....See MoreNeed help picking out ceiling lights
Comments (10)No, every door, interior and exterior, (and windows) have those square corbels. And this house has an excess of doors and windows. :( I do think it's good to have it pointed out. I hadn't considered it at all and when it comes times to do the kitchen, the fluting and corbels will clash with the look I am going for in there. So, if I can talk my husband into the extra work, I think we can replace the trim in the open areas. I don't care about the bedrooms. The windows are covered by long panels anyway. ;)...See MoreNeed help picking out colors for my bedroom

Comments (6)Why are you replacing a metal roof after only 22 years? Has it been damaged? I ask because according to the article below, the average life expectancy is 40 years (and I have seen longer reports). Edit: second article posted says up to 70 years per Woodteam5's post above https://www.buildings.com/news/industry-news/articleid/16143/title/6-reasons-to-consider-a-metal-roof/viewall/true https://www.statefarm.com/simple-insights/smart-ideas/wondering-about-metal-roofs-here-are-the-pros-and-cons The whole idea of having a metal roof, especially with the classic color you have now, is to replace less frequently than if you had an composition type or asphalt type roof. Others here can give you more detailed information. Definitely get professional roofers to explain why you need a new metal roof after only 22 years of service....See MoreIowacommute
