Ron, Thank you. That is exactly what we did and it works perfectly. The drop is about 1" in 24 hours which indicates that there are no leaks in the line and that the check valve is working well enough. We concluded that access to the check valve is the first consideration. Had the intake been buried below the ground and not extractable, the valve would have to be above ground. Since our intake is in a lake in about five feet of water, the valve could be fished out for replacement and that is where it is. We mounted it just after the intake grill (with the arrow pointing towards the pump) and everything is fine. Thanks again.

Home Decorators seems to have several alternatives for creating your own. The one I have linked would be a more traditional feel, with the three rectangular fields. custom rug You don't say what size you need, what you want to spend, or what you mean by 'texture for interest". Do you want a sculpted pattern in the rug, or do you want the rug fibers to have texture like a friese? I assume from your description that this is going in a traditional setting - is there a reason you want an all white area rug, versus something with some color?

I recently bought two kinds of liners from Lowes. (to make my old cabinets look less worn out! One was the clear liner that is ribbed and it seems very sturdy. Put it in my silverware drawer, and pots and pans drawer, etc. I also got maybe a Rubbermaid product that is printed and kind of cushy. I put it in less heavy duty areas - my towel drawer, under spices etc. I was surprised to read that you can wash it in the washing machine if it gets dirty. wow. Here is my tip though. I have always cut liners by just showing the stuff in there, creasing it where it meets the wall then cutting it with scissors Surrpisingly time consuming, and not very perfect. This time I measured my drawers and cut it with my rotary cutter and mat and rulers I used for quilting. It was so quick and easy and fits perfectly. Even the ribbed clear plastic cut with ease. Now I want to do my bathrooms too.

Clearly the motorization of the door is not to improve the cooking process, it is a design choice. I would point out that the button is not in the center of the oven, it is on the right hand side so the whole issue of burning yourself is really not an issue (again, this has been in use in Europe for years now). I think the question is how, if at all, it might hinder the cooking process. Clearly, if someone likes the ability to "peak" into the oven by tilting the door slightly open via a handle vs fully opening and if losing that ability is material to that person then this would not be for them. The point of the motorization (as opposed to it being for motorization sake) is for aesthetics/design. In a traditional separate kitchen this appliance would be out of place. Having said that, the kitchen is increasingly part of an open layout in today’s homes, it is part of an entertaining space (in some ways the center of such a space) and no longer a purely functional area. Otherwise there would not be a mkt for counter-depth integrated refrigerators, all would be about purely function and utility. Would love feedback from anyone who has actually used this version, though assume I won't find any as it is not in the US yet. If you go to YouTube you can see them showing how it works but of course that is w/ a Miele pro handling it. Personally, while my family likes to cook a lot I have to say, so long as it works, if the only materials difference is pressing a button to open/close a door vs using a handle it is not a big deal to me. I think the appliance itself looks pretty great in an open layout. Best I have seen outside of Gaggenau.
