The first rose you have pictured is not Incognito. It looks like Rainbow's End. Did you make the Rose Show in Peoria? I swept the mini awards and took Queen and King in the mini-floras.

Very preliminary plans here so much is subject to change. Splurged on land -- paid about 50% over planned, but got the land at 66% off original 1.2 million list. Since it is paid for, it is no longer a consideration. Probable Splurges: Interesting ceilings in main living area (not sure what yet) and 9' elsewhere on main floor. Maybe a nana wall (or similar) between kitchen and deck to maximize light (only natural light directly in the kitchen). Integrated plaster walls (although that may not end up being much of a spurge over good Sheetrock finish) because it is common in comparable new builds in the area (and not advertised as an upgrade). Large covered decks. Back if house -- Living room, deck and MBR will be cantilevered with basement patio below. ( probably not complete cantilever because it will be supported by stone columns) Nice fencing, but because the back yard is small, we won't need too much of it. Radiant hot water in floor heat throughout (again not much of a splurge because SIL in the business). Exterior must be 1/3 natural stone. Probably a nice chandy for the dining area, but the rest can be pretty basic. 8' doors in main living area. Undecided: windows, definitely want efficiency, but I can work with standard sizes; cabinetry and countertops, want nice and soft close, but flexible on wood type and finishes. Last time we shopped for granite for the ski house even though we budgeted for class 4, we found we really liked a class 2 stone better. Save: flooring (2) hardwood floors don't have to be anything special -- I have seen many midrange that I like, tile, again I have seen midrange options. I like. Carpet in bedrooms, office, closet and staircase except to the first landing because the rest is enclosed. Simple trim work (but also a splurge a bit t be sure it is beefy enough) Plumbing fixtures, I prefer simple and basic. Appliances -- been there, done that, on higher end appliances and really, I see no real advantage over my 10,000 range at home and my 2,500 one at the ski house and I cook a lot both places. Pantry storage will cost much less and pantry counters (as wll as laundry room can even be Formica. No fancy shower heads. No AC -- it's only needed a few days a year in our climate and we can survive without it. Upstairs guest room can have 8' ceilings. Of course, all this is subject to change -- we are waiting for the next plan revisions before we really start sourcing.

I Think the newer Incognito's use a different drying method than the one you are looking at and work well with a hot water connection. I think the one you are looking at will get better drying results if you connect it to tap cold water instead of hot. This model has the manual water softener control so you will need to set it to match the water hardness. The newer ones set themselves. You can go to the miele site and download the user manual for the machine since it is on the site. Read it over. Look at the manuals for the newer models. They are G numbers also but also have names such as excella, optima, Laperla, inspira....download them read them, then compare. If the machine has never been used and is in good condition it is probably OK, but I would certainly read the manauls of the newer models to find out the differences. If the DW can still have a warranty, ask the dealer who is giving the extended warranty...Him or Miele. It should be Miele and you would deal only with them about it, not the dealer.

So, how did you finally solve the elect. issue? What are you trying to figure out about the tines? Have you tested your water? What is the pH level? If you need salt for the softener, then Somat is the best bet. It's expensive but lasts a long time, and unless you have really bad water you'll prob. only use a box a year. If you're water is good and doesn't need softening , then turn off the feature or you could ruin those glass dishes with too soft water. Don't know about F Tabs, those units run best on Cascade Complete - enzyme formuls or Persil powder. Don't use gel in an Incognito.
