Fridge and Range next to each other & handles don't match..
Comments (13)Sorry for not posting back until now; all our things are finally moved into our new home. Now to clean the old one so we can get renters! Thank you all for your opinions and advice! I did go ahead and order the Kenmore range. I considered a GE range, but in the end, I would have had to pay almost 2xs as much for a similarly featured range. I did research through consumer reports, and for 2013, GE and Frigidaire tied for first, for brand reliability in the gas range category. Kenmore was just one point behind. I also have a Kenmore range in my old home (don't know if it was made by Frigidaire at that time), and it is at least 12 years old. It doesn't look pretty, but everything is still functioning well. Anyway, for the price I couldn't justify the GE purchase. There are both good and bad reviews for both brands. It seems you either luck out with a good appliance, or a problematic one, in either case! Thanks again!...See MoreContrasting inset to trim a wood or other floor?
Comments (7)It would work, but maybe think about it. In our 1920's house, they did two bands one board apart in each doorway area as a transition from room to room, the band is continuous around each room but doesn't directly connect. So the Entry has separate bands from the living room which has separate bands from the dining room, etc. Lesser rooms, like a bath, closets and kitchen had nothing. In the kitchen, generally a lesser grade of flooring was used due to expense, but was usually softer and easily replaced without disrupting the flooring in other areas. So, think about perhaps running bands in front of the kitchen in the eating area, treating the entire "G" as if it used to be a separate room. Then run a separate band around the inside of the "G". Other choices - completely stop the fancy floor at the kitchen "wing". Don't do the inset floor in the kitchen but put either dots or a plain square of the contrast color in the four corners inside of the "G". I wonder if banding the kitchen could make it look smaller and more busy?...See MoreCan I plant 3 different grapes vines next to each other?
Comments (3)Spacing is a bit tight, you might want to use a geneva double curtain or something similar to allow you to have more canes per vine to manage vigor. Also, research grape varieties. Sure those you listed are popular commercial varieties but they might need a lot of sprays or maintenance to get good fruit (no idea, would not survive in my zone). Also, there are so many super flavorful varieties that for one reason or other are not suitable for commercial growing but are awesome in a backyard. So far here in zone 4b I am LOVING Somerset as a early season seedless grape. Good luck....See MoreTwo different wood floors near each other?
Comments (9)Hello Juan Ramirez , Without seeing photos I may be overly optimistic - why can't you cut a square or rectangle out of the carpet, pull up the padding, add a schluter strip/transtion strip/tile stop from Home Depot and throw a couple of tiles down over some quick-krete - also from Home Depot? Maybe its a hundred bucks worth of stuff & you keep the carpet? If you want to do the whole floor in the bedroom / vanity - laminate would be less expensive than engineered wood. Of course - they call everything, 'engineered wood flooring,' nowadays.... A real engineered wood floor would be fine - that means when you look at the flooring sample from the side you will clearly see (2) woods glued together - they expand/contract @ different rates making them less likely to get water damage and other science stuff. It'll also be THICK. Hope that helps a little, -frank...See MoreRelated Professionals
