My downstairs neighbors won't leave me alone! Help! (long post)
Comments (4)The situation may be too tense at this point, but could you ask the neighbor to call you with the plan to let them come inside your unit during a "stomping episode" to prove to them that sound travels and it's not coming from your unit? Ideally one of them could come upstairs and another could wait from within the unit. Or perhaps management could send one person to each unit and see how loud it really is (are expectations unreasonable?) and upstairs you will have a witness that normal movements are happening upstairs regardless of what they hear. If you have any travel plans, could you use this to your advantage to establish it as a fact that they are hearing noise from another unit? It's obvious they don't believe this. Anything for them to stop calling the police, because that is clearly not solving anything and is wasting city resources... what an awful wake-up call for you....See MoreLayout help; long post
Comments (18)I haven't been on this forum in a very long time but your kitchen layout is so similar to mine I thought I'd chime in. I hate corner cabinets. We did a dead corner between the sink and range and no corner on the other side of the range so two people can easily work on that run. We don't miss the added corner counter space at all. The refrigerator is next to the hutch. If it were my kitchen, I'd move the ovens or pantry next to the dishwasher and scooch the refrigerator down to make that corner space bigger. As it is, there's no room to do anything there and I find we never use the counter to the right of the sink for anything. It's a very short walk across the kitchen from the DW to the hutch where we store our dishes and well worth the trouble because the counter next to the fridge is very well utilized. We have the coffee maker and toaster there, a bread/coffee drawer, cereals and snacks in the bottom drawer, cups and utensils in the other two, dishes, bowls and glasses above. You don't have to move when making coffee (except for water), breakfast, lunch or snacks and we're all about taking as few steps as possible. Lol. In our previous kitchen, we had a super susan in the corner. It wasn't as useful as drawers but it held a lot of stuff and was very easy to access. It was not angled; it had a hinged door, which was never a problem....See MoreYellow Paint help needed for little girls room.
Comments (32)I got sick of my own indecision and after trying about seven different yellow samples I decided I just needed to paint the room. I couldn't tell one thing from another because of the yellow background so I just picked the one that was closest to what I wanted and I'm hoping for the best. At this point, repainting will be cheaper than buying more samples :-) I will make sure to show better after pictures once I finished....See MorePlease Help With Pantry Plan / X Post -> Kitchens, Long
Comments (45)Maybe it is the way I have drawn it, but there is actually no issue with the door and cabinetry clearance as drawn. That said, I would still love swinging doors! And Cabinet guy said he will specify a super hard finish for the shelving paint. He buys the paint from a company here in GA who can duplicate the formula of any paint brand but it is formulated for the kind off sprayer booth he has and in different hides. It's as good or better than any factory finished paint I've ever seen. (Cabinet guy is an owner operator who took over his father's shop about eight years ago. He has one FT and one PT employee and they do one kitchen at a time, filling in waiting times with small projects like mine.) So I a, going to go with the painted finish and try not to let any future dings bother me. I guess that makes the darker paint a better option?...See MoreUser
