Please help - we have major size limitations on refrigerator!
Comments (10)I have a very small home .I had a 34 inch refrigerator that refused to die. Old style 2 door top freezer. So I had to pay some fee to have it rehabilitated, relocated, and released. I broke a single door lower cabinet loose from the wall and floor (it's tile hung over one inch ) to allow for biggest 36 inch (side by side) I could afford without going crazy price wise . Deliver day I emptied my trusty old refrigerator into ice chests. The deliver crew removed my home's doors and the refrigerator's doors to get it in. I started loading it and it would not hold 3/4 of what the old one did. My mother had had one for years I sudden heard my mother voice from over 20 years ago "Just try putting a watermelon in one of them new refrigerators " (that was paraphrased to keep it G rated ). To work with the problem I had to buy extra shelving. If you ever want to have a strange conversation with a factory rep try buying extra parts form a refrigerator thatÂs under warranty. I ended up putting 4 shelves in 2 of which were in the door . I modifying one existing convertible shelf ( it folded back to allow tall items ) and stole the egg container from the old refrigerator .New one had no egg storage area but did allow for butter . I bought a freezer for the garage. If I had the room I buy 2 refrigerators for the house at 100$ each a year electricity consumption its no real issue. There only 2 in our household I could never make it with a 30>33 inch unit ....See MoreHelp!! Our home/ yard needs some TLC... We need ideas!!
Comments (19)We really appreciate you all taking the time to send your suggestions our way!! Many ideas we haven't thought of but are definitely considering. I love the idea of replacing the cedar planks with siding and eliminating the side slope of the roof by adding siding! We agreed that many parts of this house are dated and were unsure as to how to update this 1970's gem!! Removing the hedges is a definite and happening today! Yay! Repainting the front door for the time being is on th list as well!! We want to tackle the pavers first and are having a difficult time choosing the paver color. Beverly... Chicago brick pavers were on the list and we also considered charcoal or trimming the chicago brick with charcoal. Would love suggestions on color !?!?!? Also, we live in Florida... Not sure if that makes a difference....See MorePresenting plans to our builder for pricing. Need honest opinions!
Comments (44)Jenna, the cost means nothing because a lot depends not only on where in the country you are building, but also the finishes you choose to put into your home. Are you doing builder basics with formica, carpet, vinyl flooring, and basic moldings, or are you planning on level 5 quartzite, marble, wide plank oak flooring, and complicated details? And that's just on the interior. My own house depending on the materials chosen could have cost $500,000 to build or 2 million plus....See MoreWe need our cooktop / range in island but have a second story overhead
Comments (30)the purpose of the soffit ceiling is to carry mechanical. As someone pointed out you have a very good chance of being able to vent straight to an exterior wall. We were able to do this in our last house with an island rangetop. The above island hood looked great and worked much better than the downdraft we replaced. In our new house they also had an island cooktop, which we removed to put a range along a wall. We also are venting straight to the outside and not through the attic. Here is the type of cooking that made messes where we really wanted a wall 1) searing steaks where they are smoking like crazy 2) cooking bacon - tons of grease splatters 3) deep frying in a pot - oil splatters 4) high temp wok cooking - oil splatters With regards to prep, most of our prep involves washing and cutting which happens right near the sink, not the stove....See Moreilikefriday
