new Bosch dw - very loud when filling/draining - normal?
Comments (4)I have 2 Bosch DWs and am quite happy with both of them. I can hear them when they fill or drain, but quietly. I've turned them on while others were standing there talking to me and they would ask about the red light on the floor -- they didn't realize the machine was running, and it's loudest when it starts up and then when it drains. It's nearly silent the rest of the time. I would call and get a different person to come check the installation, and if that doens't do it, call Bosch for a service call with an approved repairman. Also, check your disposal to see that there isn't something there that could be causing the water to be backing up and gurgling. Could be the installer messed something up, but if he could get one installed right and use it, he might appreciate that it's a better machine. I have no regrets -- times 2....See Moresewer smell in new shower
Comments (4)hi coolvt, our contractor said that all of our drains have ptraps. so far, the shower and all of our other sinks, etc, drain quickly. we had our contractor come back and he cleaned out the shower drain and flushed it out with water as well. we checked all of the cleanouts around our house and they seem ok, so i don't think there is still a clog anywhere anymore. i also scrubbed the floor and everything with bleach and soap and doused it with boiling water, so i don't think the smell is from residual sewage. but in the hot afternoon, the entire bathroom still fills up with an overpowering sewer smell or gas. when it is cooler outside, the smell lessens to some degree. do you think it is from a leak in the ptrap or a venting problem? how do we figure out which it is? thanks so much for your help!...See Morewhere does money come from?
Comments (57)Happymary: I myself am frequently astonished at the incredible amounts of $$ people spend on remodeling. Truthfully, when I see some of the posted pics, many of the expensive new kitchens, baths, etc. look much alike, not much individuality evident. Anyway, I am in the central TX area (N of Austin). We are in the process of remodeling an old TX farmhouse while living in another house that I am also trying to update in preparation for selling when the other house is ready to move-in. DH and I are both "of an age", and he will be eligible to retire in 4 years if he wants and he is adamant about not having a mortgage or similar payment post-retirement. Perfectly understandable. I teach part-time so we live modestly and frugally. We bought the TX farmhouse for cash (due, in part, to the sale of DH bachelor house) plus savings. We are financing our remodel with our savings, too. Thought about a construction loan, but are trying to do the pay-as-you-go thing. We are acting as our own GC (another cost savings) and the crew doing the framing are also doing the metal roof on both the new part and existing house. DH will do the electrical himself, as he is skilled in that area although we probably will hire an electrician to check his work at the end. After the framing, roofing, and electrical are done, we will re-evaluate our finances to see the next step, likely plumbing which could get complicated as we are doing a rainwater collection system that will be pumped back to the house for use in the new bathroom. We don't want to deplete our savings entirely for our remodel as everyone needs an emergency fund for those unexpected expenses (car, medical, hail damage, etc.) Much work on the existing house needs to be done, but we've prioritized our primary objectives (that is, what absolutely needs to be done before we can move in), then our secondary objectives (sadly, the awful, but functional, kitchen fits into the second category). Absolutely, do not bankrupt yourself to do a remodel. Sometimes there are creative and innovative ways to make your existing home more pleasant and livable without spending a great deal of money. I reiterate what many on this forum have said; be creative and research, research, research. By the way, the place in Gonzalez is called Discovery Antiques and they are quite pricey (cater to the Yuppies in Houston and Austin, I think). A better bet is the Habitat for Humanity Re-Stores. I've been to the one in Austin on Comal St. and surely there must be one (or more) in the San Antonio area. They often have the old longleaf pine flooring, solid wood doors, and other materials that have been removed from the tear-downs of old houses in the area. Also, salvage yards, if visited frequently, can provide a lot of materials. I recently bought 10 boxes of white Daltile subway tiles for $7/box (each box covered 10 sq. ft.) at a salvage yard. I redid the bath surround in my current house with those. IMO, especially in light of today's housing market, no remodel is worth going into debt for....See MoreStop Playing Star Wars Off-Key and Send Me My @&$*& Samples!!!
Comments (38)A little bit of beige may not be bad. Yellow reflects on itself and gets more intense. Whatever you think your final choice is, be sure to paint ALL of your old cabinets with it before you order. I love the fact that it's so hard to pick colors but the world conspires to make it even harder. The Aura fan deck is impossible to use if you want to see two colors next to each other, and you can't hang it vertically on a wall (all colors are darker that way). The paint store will always present you with an "issue" or "problem" that prevents you from getting the samples you need, and they make it too expensive anyway. Chips will either fall of the wall because you used painters tape, or rip off the paint because you didn't. It is making me insane and I would happily hire someone to do this just to avoid the insanity. My neighbors' kids and their friends have been setting off little snapper firecrackers all day. I keep hoping....See MoreValinta
