ideal kitchen

if its not a hardship for you to be that careful it should be fine, but i
know me and i would be on pins and needles waiting for the first chip in th
granite, or the first nice dish to break, Lee

My thought would be the 40" dual fuel range like I have (and like),
along with an additional electric wall oven pair, or if you really don't
think you need 3.5 ovens, make the wall a microwave and convection oven
pair.

As for the dual fuel, in all my experience, I find that electric ovens
are superior in their controls, temperature stability and the lack of
added moisture (from gas burning). Gas surface burners are generally
superior to electric surface burners (ignoring induction and the pan
requirements that brings). So in my opinion it's either dual fuel, or
separate gas cooktops and electric ovens.

How would shoes on be received in such a country? It's the inverse of

That's the point, a great many people will avoid visiting the home of
someone with such a goofy shoe fetish.
 
no wall to wall and as few rugs as possible, they make allergic reations
multiply, my fathers allergist said the amount of meds in the us could be
cut by seventy five percent if people would get rid of carpet and curtains.
if i can afford it i will get the windows with the mini blinds inside the
two paynes of glass, if not i will only hang sheers or similar so they can
be easily washed often.

as to the basement, we didn't have one before and we realised as we
inventoried the house most of what was stored was not needed for every day
lving, so the less we have the better, Lee

Have you considered a wireless router? It makes your laptop/netbook a
lot more portable.


Smaller is better as long as you have a good sized pantry and a place
for company china, crystal, flatware and serving dishes/utensils.
Maybe someday companies will design pantries like they design closets.
Then we can have efficient, postage stamp sized kitchens and bedroom
sized pantries for storage.

Okay, Here's the information!

"I got mine from efaucets.com - it may not have the lowest sticker
price, but no sales tax and free shipping made it the best overall
deal at the time. Product id: Houzer pgs 3122-1"

It's a magnificent sink (33 x 22).

I remember that "delay on" feature. My mom would put a roast beef with
carrots and potatoes in there in the morning and we'd take off for the day.
We'd get home and dinner would be ready. It's a wonder we didn't get food
poisoning!

My DD just took out a double sink and installed a single that I would
kill for, it's huge. She got it from a place on the internet that
specializes in faucets. If you're interested I'll email her for the
url.

Those people must behave like a bull in a china shop. I cook with
cast iron and have lots of nice crystal and glass. Haven't lost
anything yet. Maybe it's because I have a bar mat next to the sink.
In any case, my nice things have been safe and I love my granite.

Besides, the bedroom is still there, just used for storing inanimate
objects rather than sleeping bodies. And removing a few kitchen
cabinets doesn't in any way alter the value of a kitchen one way or
another... no biggie to replace, may even still have them up in the
attic, down in the basement, out in the garage... probably can be
reinstalled within a day... maybe someone else whould rather not have
those cabinets as well. Lots of people use a bedroom for other than a
bedroom... I have a four bedroom house but my smallest bedroom is my
office and my next to the largest is my hobby room. I sleep in the
largest, the next to the smallest is my guest bedroom. I can easily
convert my office and hobby room back to bedrooms with bedroom
funiture but even if I planned to sell I wouldn't, the fact that those
rooms don't contain beds doesn't affect the value of my house in any
way whatsoever... most people buy the house without the furnishings.

LG is Korean and from my long experience with their other product lines
is very good quality. LG is the company that used to be Goldstar (LG =
Lucky Goldstar) years ago, with product that were much maligned for no
apparent reason other than their low cost, but simply wouldn't die. I
know of at least one Goldstar microwave with a 25+ year flawless track
record.

I have had an LG cell phone that survived a 2 story drop onto hard
packed dirt without damage and was only replaced when I needed a GSM
capable phone. I've had an LG LED/LCD HDTV for a year and still love it,
and the same for an LG NAS storage array. The LG NAS storage array is a
consumer item, but it's apparently from an LG-Hitachi partnership and
the damned little $400 box seems to be built as well as the enterprise
class Hitachi storage arrays we use at work.

I would generally agree, stuff at soffit height just isn't viable for
kitchenware storage unless you have a permanent rolling library ladder
type of setup. A real pantry is vastly more practical.

The only people I know of who make any use of soffit space use it for
decoration, and they have a cleaning person come in once a month so they
don't have to deal with dusting.
