If you had unlimited water...
Comments (4)I don't doubt your calculations at all! The fill pump does run every 50 minutes no matter what - I have to evacuate the water or else it floods my basement. The tank get filled and the overflow goes to the curb. The lawns are not in yet so I am just irrigating trees and veggies now. There is fresh water pretty close to the surface so that many established trees don't need watering (not on my property...my trees are all new). I think I figured for about 3000 sqft of lawn. I am going to use a combo of rye+bluegrass (and friend in town has that...very nice). I might end up using a LOT more...we'll see and thanks for the metrics....See MoreIf you had one whole day to yourself, what would you do?
Comments (27)I've been sitting here for a few minutes contemplating what I'd do if I had a day to myself. No kids? No interruptions? Peace and quiet all day long? It's sounding so good, I just might try to arrange it in the next couple of months! :) I would sleep in. I'd read in bed. I'd have a long bath, go check out a couple of thrift stores, eat lunch out.... I'd go for a nice hike somewhere quiet by the water. I'd go home and order in some Vietnamese soup for dinner. I'd read out on the deck with a big glass of wine and some jazz music. Then I'd watch a good chick flick before reading in bed some more. Ahhhh.... I feel refreshed just having written about it! :)...See MoreIf you had to do it again-what counter material would you choose?
Comments (59)I've got SS for most of the perimeter counter-tops, marble for the coffee bar and island. Both are great, I would use either or both again. Pick what you like and don't worry about it. IMO granite is everywhere, doesn't mean it's not great just everywhere, I tend to buck trends but try and one up them. Doesn't always work out but I would never 'follow' just because the bus goes that way. It's the folks who step out a bit that tend to inspire the rest of us to look beyond the norm. I'm starting to think that conceptually the 'kitchen' itself is a bit played out. It's becoming more and more the focal point of the home but is still carrying a lot of dated ideas and norms. I'm waiting for the person to come along w/a whole new concept of the cooking/gathering environ and how it relates to the rest of the living space. I haven't completely wrapped my head around the possibilities but it's interesting thinking....See MoreIf you had this space what would you do?
Comments (4)keep it open. L shape kitchen,,,, Fridge on 8 foot wall with side panels so side of appliance not on view. Range and hood in 5.5 foot section on back wall. single sink under 45 in window on right in a 27 or 30 in sink base cab. Run cabs all along back wall but beyond range and hood on left side...into corner....taper them back to 12 in deep for setting out food/coffee/etc. then get a pedastal table opposite stairs on that long left side of room..maybe drop leaf. Furniture choices and placement will be the way to make fun enjoyable living space . dont close in .....simplify kitchen.... dont think island is your best bet...... One single eating venue with flexibility. What is there now? Good upholstered furniture..the correct pedestal table are investments that will last and make the living end work. Plan the kitchen as initial rush to gut is never wise . You'll want to embellish that bit with stove and hood with tile/maybe glass fronted cabs either side/good counters/maybe more upgrades to assist in your aesthetic for Open format....See MoreP Banos
