Does anyone have 'The Galley Sink'? How do you like it?
Comments (178)I have two Galley sinks and I am so diapointed with them. I would love to remove them, but I cannot without destroying my counters because of the way these sinks mount, which is different from most kitchen sinks. Just be aware, that when you purchas a Galley sink, it is permanent unless you want to redo your counters too. What I don't like about them is how messy they look. I have a busy household, so lots of dishes and every time the water is turned on, it spots the sink unless I hand dry it. This is impracticle for a busy home. Food sticks to the sides of the sink easily and the corners are very hard to clean. Also, the ledge where the boards rest, gets wet because of dish washing so the caulking breaks down easily and there is a moldy rim around the edge of the sink becuase of this design. (I had the caulking fixed within a year, but it happens in a matter of weeks) . I contacted the company and they sent me a product to clean it, but the product was like other products I can buy and the problem is the design and the materials. The company also comes acorss as uncaring and poorly skilled when dealing with customer disapointments. I had a stainless steel sink before and never experienced it looking like this, I actually liked that sink. Also, their bamboo boards broke down very easily. I had new boards made out of walnut and my new boards have lasted two years getting wet daily, with no extra drying from me and they look great. I think Galley sinks wants to be this fancy company but it's just cheap materials, cheap product, cheap customer service. Again, I wish I could remove them, but I cannot without destroying my counters and my counters are so expenisve that I am stuck with these horrible sinks. Good luck with your house remodel!...See MoreLaying 1in Hexagon tile in a bathroom with odd angles.
Comments (25)Two kids and life have gotten in the way of finishing. Quickly realized you can't stop tiling halfway thru - the morter/glue dries and now you have to scrape that away so the new section isn't higher. We are close, I think he can make perfect cuts to line up nicely to the doorway. However, he is a perfectionist and really is leaning to a doorway piece to cover (i'll fight it though). The other concern is the cuts are so close we can't get much grout in between wood piece. I think he's looking into grey kaulking to line the doorway to look like the grout ? (first mistake, the wonderboard under is too tall and we can't slide the tile under the hardwood door piece.) regarding the pics ** The tiles around the doorway are not in, just testing it all out. Where the tile isn't lining up well, those are not glued in, just laid there. Thanks for everyones continued interest!!!...See Moreanother move another kitchen remodel...
Comments (13)Congratulations on your new house! If your cabinets are in good shape and sturdy I think they would be lovely painted. You would probably want to replace the doors for a more modern or transitional look if you like, but they would be sweet as is if you were looking for more of a cottage feel. With paint, new hardware, new counters and your husband adding extra cabinets you'll feel like you have a brand new kitchen! I had the golden oak cabinets in my former kitchen professionally painted after wanting to for years but always chickening out. If you Google my username plus "gardenweb kitchen" you can find the before and after pics. Some told me I shouldn't bother and it might be like putting lipstick on a pig, but the cabinets were solid wood and very good quality - only 15 years old. So I decided to save money and do a mini remodel instead of gutting the entire kitchen. What a difference it made! It actually made my granite counters look better too and I was thinking of replacing them before. I also replaced the black appliances with stainless and that was another improvement in brightening up the dark kitchen. With everything, it ended up a 15k remodel instead of a 50k + remodel. Everyone loved it and we sold the house at asking price in less than 3 weeks. I also loved the result and wish that I had done it sooner so I would have been able to enjoy them longer before we moved....See MoreLooking to import a NEFF Slide & Hide oven to the U.S. Help!
Comments (30)With some brands, there is a "marine" division that sells internationally to anywhere in the world. But I don't seem to be able to find that for Neff. So, you probably have to contact a dealer in one of the countries that Neff officially supports. You'll miss out on most warranty and support that way, but that's presumably something that you already knew and are OK with. Over the years, I have bought various items abroad, although never any larger kitchen appliances. In all cases, the easiest solution was to find a dealer in the foreign country and establish a rapport with them. If the dealer knows that you will actually pay your bill and not cause unreasonable problems for them (e.g. insisting that they handle warranty issues from abroad) then you should be able to find somebody who is willing to deal with shipping and any tax issues that might need to be resolved (e.g. refund VAT on their side and provide you with paperwork to do pay duties on your side). In practical terms, the easiest way to do all of this is to walk into a dealer or two when you are on vacation abroad the next time. Of course with an ongoing pandemic, nothing really works normally these days. So, expect long delays....See MoreBarb Chamberlain
