Need to replace washer/Dryer quickly - need advice
Comments (24)Well, the saga continues. To make a very long story short the Affinity washer and dryer was too deep for my space. I did get a guarantee that I could return it without penalty if it did not fit. The "expert installation service" we were told about really was an in-house delivery service - nothing more. The guys put the washer in the spot and said "look see - it just fits - isn't that great". We were focused on the dryer which looked pretty hopeless so we didn't even take delivery on it. After the guys left DH took a yardstick and put it from the "pony wall" across the front of the washer where the bubble door was and only then could you tell that the bubble door actually stuck out beyond the wall. It was an optical illusion that it fit because the part of the washer adjacent to the wall fit but the middle part of the washer stuck out beyond that. Anyway, they came and picked it up on Saturday and promised us a full refund. Not sure that the paperwork has been processed - yet but I am hopeful. As you know we are looking for the largest capacity we can get with the smallest depth. Now we have been recommended the following:- and I would love feedback: Washer: Bosch Axxis WAS24460UC 3.4 CU capacity only .1 smaller than the Affinity. Dryer: Axxis WTV76100US - 3.9 CU - This dryer is quite a bit smaller than the Affinity - I am concerned that this dryer can work as well on drying the same capacity coming out of a 3.4 CU washer?? I wash alot of blankets and quilts (queen size) and it is important to me to be able to wash and dry these. I am going to see these models in the store and will bring my puffiest queen size quilt to see how it fits. Would love any feedback.... Back to square one - but I'm hoping this one will do the trick.......See MoreAdvice needed on replacing cabinet doors & drawers
Comments (4)Door styles are; Mediterranean (inside and flush with the face frame) Full or flush overlay (flush with the outside of the face frame with internal or external hinges) 3/8 overlay (external hinges where 3/8 of the door fits inside the cabinet door opening) What are the brand of the new hinges? Does the new dwr boxes include new dwr guides and are they side mounted or just frame rollers?...See MorePatio door replacement advice needed
Comments (5)Not sure what you are referring to when you say "french style sliders with sidelight" I can think of several options for configuration. I know you can get custom sized sliders in 3 or 4 panel configurations. You could also get a french door with two smaller sized sidelights. I wouldnt think the sidelights could be opened though. I have a similar sized opening that goes from my dining room to my patio. I have a set of french doors with a matching sidelight. 3 equal panels with only the french doors being able to be opened. I have a retractable screen that goes across when the doors are open. Hope this helps somewhat....See Moreneed advice on replacement doors
Comments (0)Our apartment was remodeled prior to our purchase. Inexpensive white plastic type core hollow doors were installed, they look terrible. We want to replace the doors with solid mahogany, cherry or a type of wood with lovely grain which we will stain. Just need to buy the slabs the original jams, painted white, are in reasonable condition. There is a huge difference in price, but i understand solid vs solid core with heavy veneer and panels are solid. Where is a good place to start? To get some apples to apples quotes? And is it really necessary to have solid mahogany throughout the door or is a solid wood of a different less expensive species sufficient? Thanks in advance, rehabgal...See MoreUser
