My turn to have a DW issue
Comments (19)I should have said what it was! It was a clog in the line between the disposal and the dishwasher (no more detail given on the work order, and we weren't home when the work was being done). The repairman also noted that our air gap, although present (required in CA still) was not connected, although our installed had installed the dishwasher with the required "high loop" so the air gap shouldn't be necessary anyway. What do you think - 1) would the air gap have made any difference, and 2) if not, should I remove it and put in a soap dispenser?...See Morehelp help! where should we make the opening for the washer?
Comments (0)we are smack dab in the middle of a major kitchen, mudd and bathroom remodel. our current question relates to the mudd room, specifically the hoses from our FL washer unit to the wall where water supply and drain will be (see pics). I need help! where on the cabinet should we place a 3+ inch hole in the cabinet. the cabinet will be holding be a 22" W by a 9.5" Deep sink in a 24" cabinet the front loader washer and front loader dryer? Concern#1: we are placing a sink in the cabinet that is 9.5 inches deep and 22 inches wide....will there be enough room for both hot and cold water hoses and drain hose not to get kinked? Concern#2: should the drain hose (where water leaves the pipe) be higher or lower as the water empties into the drain? any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thanks https://picasaweb.google.com/118152884350973182660/20111024?authkey=Gv1sRgCNm9k4StyYTxGA#5667268765980883282 https://picasaweb.google.com/118152884350973182660/20111024?authkey=Gv1sRgCNm9k4StyYTxGA#5667268771020762258 https://picasaweb.google.com/118152884350973182660/20111024?authkey=Gv1sRgCNm9k4StyYTxGA#5667268777656831714 https://picasaweb.google.com/118152884350973182660/20111024?authkey=Gv1sRgCNm9k4StyYTxGA#5667268784770526850...See Morehow to maintain a fence and what color should we make it?
Comments (8)Thanks to both of you! I did some more searching. What is the deal with these fence cleaners? If I read between the lines of the reviews, it sounds like they are usually ineffective, or consist of bleach (we are planning on doing landscaping soon, so I wouldn't want to compromise the soil by using bleach). Am I getting that correct? Does anyone have positive experiences with fence cleaners? Also - thanks yardvaark! It is good to know what kind of paint works best. I always thought stain would last longer than paint - good to know....See MoreAntique Chinese screen. Should we make into a TV screen?
Comments (24)Why would one keep the screen or cabinet door open when not in use. I am of the opinion that television screens are not attractive. Many people go to lengths to hide them including cabinets with lifts that go up or down so the television is not on view when not in use. I deliberately built a cabinet to hold my television during my remodel which acts as a large room divider between my office and the more formal part of my living room. It has what I call a stripper pole television so the television can be viewed from both sides and there are doors on both sides to disguise it when not in use. There is a television on the market which looks like a large frame - literally - and so it displays a piece of art/photo of your choice. So it looks like framed art instead of a television when not in use. My bedroom has a standard wall hung television but that's my private area with the wall visible from the bed. People routinely pull drapes or shades up or down and perform other acts so not sure why shutting a cabinet door is more of an issue. Is this screen in fact a rare antique. There are a lot of reproductions of items or even vintage items that are not particularly valuable and it's not necessarily a blasphemy to alter them from their original purpose. For me, it's solely an economic, functional and aesthetic decision. If the screen isn't worth thousands of dollars why not convert to a use that is both functional and aesthetic....See Morerivkadr
