Read previous posts, new question about double dishwasher drawers
Comments (10)My comment were and will be very specific - it's my nature and the nature of my work "I think dadoes has the right idea: A pair of single DD's flanking your sink. As a benefit, the upper DD is quieter than the lower one." DD represents "DishDrawer" and not "Double Dishdrawer". Hence "single DD's" means a single DishDrawer. (Perhaps there will be acronyms DDD and SDD in the future? Ugh.) In which case there is no upper or lower. It's a matter of logic. I do understand the basic difference between the double and single. A lot of it is from your posts (BTW, thank you very much!) and others here and at Epinions (e.g., Epinions, Fisher and PaykelDD-603SS Built-in Dishwasher: Another reason to get the double drawer unit is that the space below the unit (under the single drawer unit) would be wasted space. You can't have a drawer below the unit...it needs a rigid bottom capable of load-bearing weight.) What you say about the two singles certainly makes sense .. but that doesn't mean that it is NECESSARILY true. (What would occupy the upper/lower cabinets might be different owing simply because it is upper/lower. There might be other, unknown reasons.) Frankly, the only reason that I can see why anyone would put a single in a lower position would be the physical support issue. It doesn't make sense ergonomically. I'm in a similar situation as lmhall2000 - not enough room for two singles. I have a DD-603I in the middle of my living room as the kitchen cabinets are being put in....See MoreNew dog attacks my cats-long post
Comments (36)I know that. It was just a county dog pound, actually. They don't do any testing. I've been asking around and getting advice. I actually volunteer at our no kill facility and will get advice. Lots of resources available, they just will cost me $$. Her former owner lost her home, had to move in w/ friends who were not allowed to have animals.....hid the dog at a friend's house who put the dog outside. It ran away & was picked up twice. Owner finally just surrendered the dog. Such a sad story and she's 9 so I knew she was going to be put down. She is sweet, and yes, I can get her healthy, and then look for a new home. thanks for all the advice....See Moresrercrcr.. couldn't post on previous topic
Comments (11)Looking Real Good Steve Mon!! Ya see the thing about composite material is it changes, no matter what brand a person buys its not going to be the same the next day or the next year, there is no telling about the stuff its made by a machine so even if the Co dosent change the make up or get slapped with a class action or has a recall or just stops making it all together,,,,, Machines make mistakes for a lot of reasons it could be they dident get updated, could be a low paid worker tossed a few beer bottles in the mix,could be the raw material wasent up to quality things like that. Some people want composite for some reason, others dont mind the stuff going green every year or little rot holes coming up, or having to frame with sister joists on a break, or having it sag on 16'' centers. Watching the color fade,puting up with the little differances in the texture. Other People are enraged over things like this, I have goten a lot of mail from these Folks, they bought into the hype belived what the Co said and have no place to go either live with it,try for a class action,tear it out and go with something else. And then there are the Srercrcr kind of folks, new wave, modern, this is the material of the Present and its not getting all that much good press. Mabey should Our Business stay on the roll its been on for the last 10 years the composite machine including everything thats invloved in that will probley get a product out there that people can count on,after they have pushed out every mix they can think of and advertized it anyway they want, and just put on hold the enraged customers,, remember them??? I do a fair amount of composite decks, I dont want to do it but the hype is impossible to put away so I use the best I can get and go with it. One high $ material is Plastic Lumber, The Robert over at mrdeck.com has a track record with the stuff and some very nice work, now if a person wanted to go with a sure thing in man made material it is possible with this material, other wize its going to be a roll of the bones for the next few years.

Comments (43)If the carpenter cares about his reputation, then, voila, you've got leverage. There are a number of outlets to let people know about the quality of his work, Angies List being one of them. However, that is the card you must not play until you are sure that he will do nothing to correct the situation or cannot correct it. Your daughter wouldn't have to say a word - the photos will speak volumes! I do think that you need to give him an opportunity to correct the problems. Let him know what you think the problems are - I would start by photographing all the problems with the cabinets and send sending photos to him with a detailed explanation of all the issues and what corrections you expect. (that's why I think calling a "forensic" carpenter would be useful in helping you detail issues that might not be easily seen.) If he really cares about his reputation, he most certainly wouldn't want photos of this shoddy work to get out....See More
