You Know You're Remodeling When.... - A Classic
Comments (18)This is a great thread. We're not remodeling but building a new house, and man, can I relate to a lot of these. ...you know every lighting fixture, faucet, sink, appliance by memory because you have endlessly researched each one. you freak out your own GC because you can discuss minute details about your house/kitchen from memory down to the 1/8". you have more e-mails from your GC/subs than you do from your friends. you wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat about some critical detail and then go downstairs to e-mail your GC about it right at the moment before you forget....See MorePoll: How often do you use your microwave?
Comments (63)At my old house, the MW was located at about eye level for me. It was crazy--I had to use a stepstool to see if things were turning or overcooking. I am 5'2". At my next house I purchased the undercounter Sharp drawer MW which I loved and all the tall people in my family thought was crazy too low. See picture. Our current rental has the MW about neck level and I admit it works great. I use it every day to re-heat my tea/coffee. I actually use it to heat the water too since I can't find my kettle. I used to have a instant hot and got spoiled by that. Here in the rental we use a tempered glass measuring cup and heat 2c of water then use that as a "pot". It kind of takes away from the whole "ceremony" of making tea and enjoying it but we now have simple uses created from necessity. And of course....the old makin' bacon that everyone has mentioned. My son is always making bacon in the MW. I also am a good leftover eater. I love to reheat a serving of spaghetti squash or something from last night's dinner. I don't like cold food, so almost all of my food is heated. I considered putting the MW in the walk-in pantry at the house we are building, but ended up finding a place for it in the island (drawer MW again)....See MorePoll: How did you pay for your kitchen remodel?
Comments (46)I say cash and credit card because I saved up the cash and thenI use a travel rewards credit card and EVERYTHING possible goes on the card and it gets paid off in full, every month, without fail. Ours was a mostly DIY remodel so the costs were almost all supplies, appliances, construction material. Everything went on the card, everything was paid off each month. We paid for airline tickets for 2 separate trips with the rewards from the kitchen remodel!!!...See Morecorona virus and kitchen remodel starting next week!
Comments (9)I'm in Phoenix which I'd consider large. Last I checked today only 18 affected but as they get better testing I'm sure that number will skyrocket in many places. I was surprised how seriously they're taking it with such a few amount of cases, but I get it. Just bad timing! It could be worse. Maybe we have the chance to slow it down, maybe we loose a lot of money. I'm not sure. I'm an old hippie so I can live on the rough but who wants to cook on a wood grill and raise 3 kids for longer than needed, esp when I do a lot of gardening and do a lot of cooking of healthy foods. I might see if GC can do some of the work and then dive in, like take the upper cabs and soffit out of the kitchen and the 2 walls, repair drywall... before actually taking out the working kitchen. lg222-yes, social distancing for sure. One great thing about Phx this time of year is that all the windows and doors are open all the time. the weather couldn't be better for a full remodel. darbuka, Thx so much for the link! kriii, thx, also!...See Moremxk3 z5b_MI
