The big ball that did, after all, (so far).
Comments (9)Thanx Rick and Dellare, it's the one that flopped, 32" or so, vinyl patching cement over chicken wire for "scratch coat", then more of the same over strategically placed wire lath. I seriously considered y'all's intriguing recipes, but felt better using a familiar product for now, being short of time for material hunting/experiments. My dog pukes in a car, he'd be very uncomfortable suspended in a wind-spinner, if that's what it turns out to be, 5' above ground. He's a bit of an Eyore with 3" legs. Something else, now that you mention it, may decide to move in. I'll keep you posted, though it may take a while, my company is going into its season....See MoreMaybe I can't have a BS rangetop after all...
Comments (28)@marcolo asked: "Is there a place online that shows a CC range top can be inset into cabinets?" Not that I am aware of. The CC instructions show that it can be installed in either a 24" deep cabinet or a 27" deep base cabinet (and, by inference, any depth in between). The CC instructions don't explicitly say that it cannot be installed inset with zero clearance to adjacent base cabinets; getting that through inspection without a letter from Capital might be a challenge, though. Throw 3" of flush filler either side before the deeper cabinets and I'd expect to pass inspection (ditto the BS). The filler would also allow blending the counter edge cleanly. Of course, one can simply pull the rangetop forward so it is still flush, as discussed above. Doing that also permits deeper upper cabinets (the limiting distance is the back of the rangetop to the front of the upper cabinet including door). Back on the original topic, my impression is that the BS rangetop might not actually be inset if installed in a 27" deep cabinet (meaning that the alleged exposed flammable surfaces on adjacent base cabinets would not exist), but I haven't measured that to make sure....See MoreMaybe my kitchen was timeless after all!
Comments (8)Thanks, Isabel. The pulls on the large fridge have artichoke finials, i do not recall the mfr, I got them at a No. NJ dealer called Hardware Designs. The pulls on the refrigerator door are the same pulls, minus the artichoke finials. If memory serves I had to pay extra to NOT have finials, since it was special order or somesuch nonsense. Thanks, Palimpsest and Dianalo. We are not redoing that kitchen, and I do hope people like it .... we are going to sell it. With a house attached! Anyone interested? We fell in love with a country farmhouse in CT over 18 months ago, and are expanding and redoing most of it (we fell in love with its lovely setting and stonework, etc). We moved to CT last August so the kids could start the school year here, but we had to move into a rental house because our CT house is behind schedule. So for now the kitchen you see sits empty, our "real" house is unfinished, we are in a rental that's lovely but not home, and when it snows I have to pay to plow all of them, yikes!...See MoreMaybe this wasn't such a great idea after all!
Comments (9)Yes, I had caffiene withdrawal headaches when I cut out caffiene, but they soon go away. I gave up aspartame (mostly in Diet Sodas) 2 summers ago. My short term memory was terrible and I had heard anecdotally that some people are affected by it (and yes it really seemed to help me). To replace it I started drinking lots more decaffienated ice tea. I may buy an ice tea out which contains caffiene, like at a restaurant or McDonald's, but I do try to limit that to the mornings or early afternoon. good luck ... you'll start feeling better...See MoreSara-Ann Z6B OK
