New to Kitchens? Read Me First!

Buehl(7)

Welcome!

If you are new to the Kitchens Forum, you may find the following information and links helpful. The FAQs will help you navigate the world of kitchen remodeling and, in the process, introduce you to ideas that you may not have thought of or seriously considered. We will begin by helping you come up with a "Mission Statement" or "Goal" for your future kitchen and continue through the planning, implementation, and, finally, the unveiling of your final kitchen and the enjoyment of working in a kitchen that YOU helped come to pass!

The FAQ articles on Kitchens contain helpful information about how to navigate this site as well as the world of kitchen renovations. The FAQs include, but are not limited to, such topics as how to ask for help with a layout, how to plan for storage, etc. Even more information can be found by doing a search on the forum.

The Finished Kitchens Blog has pictures and information about many GW members' finished kitchens. Not only can you see them alphabetically, but there is also a category list if you're looking for specific things like a kitchen with a Beverage Center or a kitchen with a mix of dark and light cabinets. Access the FKB Categories Page via a link in the navigation panel on the right of any FKB page. Additionally, there is also a link to "In-Progress Kitchens" for those members' kitchens that are not quite ready for the FKB. There is also a link to "Coming Soon Kitchens" for those kitchens that are ready for the FKB but have not yet been added. To access the "In-Progress Kitchens", the "Coming Soon Kitchens", and the "FKB Categories", see the links in the navigation panel that is on the right side of each main FKB page.

The Appliances Forum is very useful when you have questions specific to appliances.

To start off the kitchen remodel process itself, take the Sweeby Test. Once you have an idea of what your "vision" is, start thinking about budget and layout. The Kitchens FAQs have topics that will be useful for understanding kitchen design as well as asking for help. Some of the topics:

* How do I ask for Layout Help and what information should I include?

* Aisle widths, walkways, seating overhangs, work and landing space, and others

* Kitchen work zones, what are they?

* How do I plan for storage? Types of Storage? What to Store Where?

+++++ Welcome to Kitchens Continued +++++

When asking questions (e.g., asking for layout help), please keep in mind that everyone here is trying to help, not criticize maliciously. Some of us can be blunt, but no one is out to deliberately insult or hurt anyone. When your kitchen is done, we want you to have a kitchen that functions wonderfully well and looks nice overall - but the process will take time and will entail comments that often you don't want to hear (e.g., when a layout is dysfunctional.) We strongly recommend you "keep listening" to what others have to say but, in the end, you don't have to take any advice given here. It is your kitchen and you are the one who will make the final decisions!



Again, welcome and good luck! The journey is wild, sometimes bumpy, but fun and very rewarding in the end!

FAQ Topics: Note that these are in the process of being fixed. When migrated over to Houzz, most FAQs were truncated mid-sentence and, in some cases, Subjects were also truncated.

In addition, some of the instructions have changed and functionality has been removed. Please bear with me as I work through each FAQ to restore it and, if needed, update it.

Updates will be in the Comments as I am no longer allowed to update the FAQs themselves.

CEFreeman_GW DC/MD Burbs 7b/8a(7b/8a)

We can all bump this every time and the good info will be drowned in bumps, or they could pin it.

Perhaps they could post it up where they discuss last year's flood, if they haven't adopted ancient, forum technology of pinning threads.

Again, like other things discussed in these suggestion threads, this is (italicized) not a new function. If GW and every other board upon which I've ever participated can do it, Houzz could figure it out.

CEFreeman, I understand your concern, but the bottom line is that we do not have a sticky at this time. Until we do, bumping works - as it did a few years ago on GW.

All the info is in the original post and the first three comments. When someone goes to the thread, the first thing they will see is the pertinent information - it's not "drowned in bumps".

Hmmm....both your link and mine work fine for me - no spaces. Anyone else having issues?

Here's the link: http://ths.gardenweb.com/discussions/2767029/how-do-i-post-pictures. I added the URLs for all the FAQs in the above message.

I will say that I have noticed links/actions are inconsistent on Houzz...sometimes you get to where you want to go and sometimes you don't. Now that I think about it, the first few times I tried the FAQ links they didn't work for me either. Since they all work for me now, I assumed Houzz had fixed the issues.

BTW...I've updated the Posting a Photo FAQ with the information I have right now.

Tea4All - I've since fixed that link.

I've found that links aren't always created properly. They sometimes just disappear, the link text/label changes to the URL, they "join" a previous or subsequent link, the links don't work, etc.

It seems every day I find another problem! *sigh*

Thank you for all your hard work, buehl. Here's a heads up...

I don't know if you have access to fix it, or if Houzz will have to change it for you. The page below about posting links includes a green link that simply says "description". It now leads to an adult web site (don't click it, folks.)

How do I post a link?

"I get a main houzz discussion page having nothing to do with posting pictures. I am on a Mac (just in case that has anything to do with it)."

Yes, that is what happens to me to and I am on a Macbook. If you watch the url closely, it first rise to go to the correct link, but then it changes and just goes to the general Houzz discussions.

Buehl(7)

I redid the link - but it was working fine for me. It took me to the right place - as did yours. I don't know why yours took you to an adult site.

Just a thought, but when was the last time you ran a virus check?


Save    
Thank you for reporting this comment. Undo
mudhouse

buehl, I run virus checks often, although that's a logical thought. Right now when I click on the link I posted above ("how do I post a link") it just takes me to the main Houzz Advice page, so I can't double check it.

But earlier, when I clicked on the word "Description" on that page, it took me to a site that was (www) then (xxx) then (dot com.) An adult site. I clicked the back arrow, and saw that when I hovered over the green single word "description" link, the URL location in the bottom left corner of my screen confirmed the link was sending me to the location described above.

I thought maybe that (www) (xxx) copy used in the previous GW page didn't used to be a live link, but somehow the conversion to Houzz turned it into a live link. Just my guess though.

The version of the page I was looking at was from 2013, and I can't get it to come up now. But here is a snip from the 2011 cached version of the same page to show you the text I thought was causing the problem. The text was somewhat similar with that troublesome combination that somehow turned into a live URL for me.


Later in the day I did flag that page, because I thought perhaps this was something you could no longer correct. Maybe Houzz corrected the problem and that's why it was working fine for you...?

Edited to say, I hope I have not sent you on a rabbit hunt. Sorry if I did!

Oh! You mean the old/original text - I can't fix that! Houzz will need to fix it! They should just replace it with my Comment - or at least replace it with "See below". It's not supposed to be an active link and wasn't in the original FAQ. We need to email Tamara directly about it.

tea4all

A "sticky" is a thread that stays at the top of the list of threads. Therefore it is always available for readers to reference without having to go hunt for it. Because this thread has a compilation of important information it should be the very first one in the list--always.

Buehl has been communicating with "the powers that be" on Houzz in hopes that they will make this into a sticky and we will not have to continually bump this thread trying to keep it on page 1.
