F-Bomb....hard frost and its the end of May!
Comments (3)It's actually the ice that saved them. When water freezes, it gives off heat. I know you don't want to hear it but late May frost is almost routine here in Saskatchewan. This is one of those rare years where we got summer-ish weather already and it's you guys' time to suffer a bit. Your growing season is usually much longer than ours, and if you're inland, warmer than ours as well....See Morethe f4f forum
Comments (103)Guten tag mein freund Christian, Welcome to this forum. I lived in Mannheim, Germany for 3 years and traveled to Italy were my father was born. I am also back on this fig forum with many of my good fig friends, Christian, Rafed, Art, Martin, Mario, Giuseppe, Aaron and many others. All of us here have been very helpful to each other in the past years and now here again at GARDENWEB-HOUZZ in the future years. It is cold here -3 degrees F. daytime temperature Phil from Northern Ohio...See MoreMiele USA Service Problems - Anyone else having issues?
Comments (149)I am so upset by what I am reading and what I have experienced over the last 12 years .. I am in the process of two major kitchen remodels and have 6 more to complete before I have them all done. Based on what I am reading here and on the internet blogs, I have ended up unwilling to order ANY new appliances. Over the last 12 years the only things I have purchased that have had great customer service are my Jura Capressa coffee makers and my Tempurpedic mattressses. All other purchases have been major headaches or outright nightmares. I am at the point that buying anything at all literally makes me sick at my stomach (and this is not just because I am a guy who does not enjoy shoppping in general). I have noticed that I have become openly hostile to sales people in general. With very few exceptions, I have never met a "sales" person who had even the scant ethics of even a democrat politician. The fact that I am now expected to buy appliances from one of these ingenuine sociopathic sales types is so upsetting that I have my two kitchen remodels on hold. I have great inset all wood custom cabinets with great custom granite counters ... and no appliances. Friends of mine in CA hate their Miele, friends in Henderson Nevada hate their Subzero and Dacor, friends in NY hate their Monogram, friends in Naples Florida hate their AGA and Viking, friends in the Netherlands hate their Miele, friends in Carmel Indiana hate their Traulson and Miele, friends in Arizona hate their Kitchen Aid ... and it goes on and on with nightmare after nightmare of new appliances defective out-of-the-box, incompetent installers, unethical distributors, sales people that grab the big commissions and then can't even return follow up calls, manufacturers that don't honor their warranty committments or try to stong arm the very customers that their business should be treating with dignity and integrity. To add insult to injury, many regional better business bureaus rate these retailers and businesses A+. No wonder consumers have stopped purchasing ... it is not the recession that has stopped people from making major purchases, but, rather, the expectation that after-purchase headaches will take months and months to resolve with stress levels higher than paying for your childrens' college educations. Short of having an attorney produce a contract that the appliance supplier has to sign and be held to legally, does anyone out there have any other magic process. A process that assures the customer won't be setting themselves up for an extremely stressful experience with underpaid customer disservice departments trained by the Insurance claims industry to intimidate and wear down the customer to a point of having to just give up? signed - a potential appliance customer in limbo...See MoreHow much have your plans changed, since coming to GW?
Comments (22)When I started thinking about renovating my kitchen in March 2010, my simple plan was to remove my island, add a peninula, get new appliances (change smoothtop electric to gas), change from range to cooktop so I wouldn't have to pull out a stove and clean behind it, and put the cabs up to the ceiling. I also knew I wanted a few more drawers as my current kitchen has very few and all of them are small ones above lower cabinets. I figured a KD would be best at figuring out the details. I know if I had gone forward, I would have blindly accepted whatever the first KD recommended, nodding and saying "Of course, of course." After finding the GW kitchen and appliance forums, I started hanging out here almost every evening--reading and learning. Quickly learned about ZONES vs. TRIANGLE! Instead of adding a peninsula, I'm planning on putting in a small buffet where there is currently a half wall between kitchen eating area and FR. Door to dining room will be moved over about 7 feet to eliminate a blind corner and allow use of about 2 more feet of wall space between current DR doorway and closet pantry--who knew 2 feet would mean so much! Moving the doorway will allow me to put in a small prep sink at the end of my cook/prep run. I also learned about taking the MW off the counter and putting it on a shelf above the counter. Perfect! Drawers, drawers, drawers!!! All drawers except under 2 sinks and the trash pullout (which will be located in prep area). Pantry pullouts and various options for blind corners. Never knew about the pantry pullouts at all and thought the only option for the blind corner was a lazy susan like I have now. I'll still have one blind corner and I'm not sure which option I'll use, but at least I know what my options are now. Appliances--induction vs. gas, speed, steam, convection, and combi ovens, separate frig and freezer columns, frig/freezer drawers, etc. No reason to finalize choices yet other than general types since reno has been put on hold for now, but I know what my options are and keep researching reliability and service issues. Cabinet and open shelving options--so much info including considering custom options now because of information on deeper cabs and counter learned here! I could list more--flooring, backsplashes, countertop material (ranging from quartz and soapstone to the new formicas), venting, GC issues and acting as your own, etc., etc. Thank you, thank you GW!! I never would have guessed there was a community people so giving of their time, experience, and knowledge!...See MoreElmer J Fudd
