The Kitchenaid this place came with just loving sucks at washing dishes, but does a great job of generating smoke if there's a piece of food at the bottom of the tub in contact with the exposed heating element during a dry cycle.

brugroffil posted:Ours is even dumber Ooof. I hate that. To balance my judgment I'll admit that one of my outlets feels like it's attached to nothing and you have to hold the outlet a little when you unplug something. Also the only GFCIs are the two closest to the sink and I was responsible for it. I just don't use that one loose guy. I'll get to it! I swear!

We installed a Bosch 800 a couple weeks back. They didn't have the 500 in stock, but they had an 800 floor model for $700. I've been happy with it, although the drawer layout seems a little wonky. I feel like I'm having trouble getting as many plates, pasta bowls, and soup bowls in as I did in my 20 year old KitchenAid.Kaiser Schnitzel posted:To quote my uncle, 'I just cant think of enough things to tell those kids not to do' Toebone posted:I’ve got a crumbly plaster problem too: high traffic area at the top of the staircase, painted wallpaper over plaster. There’s a soft spot in the plaster about 18” square, and the paint/wallpaper has cracked in a few places where it’s gotten bumped into. I’ve tried doing a bit of compound over the cracks and dents, and it looks okay for a bit but eventually gets bumped and cracked again. The wallpaper texture is going to make any cutouts extremely obvious, any thoughts besides hiding everything behind some drywall?

We went with a 500 and it was the last version (AFAIK) that didn't come with the top mounted cutlery 3rd rack. I think they all do now? We really, really like it. In the 5 years we've had it I can probably count on one had the number of times a load didn't come out well and it was always down to operator error. Generally loading things too tight or interfering with a wash arm. I always use finish power balls and finish rinse aid and they work great together. So much so I'm hesitant trying another brand. Seriously, good choice on a washer.

Design choice question for both recently posted range hoods: why stop the backsplash at the hood rather than go to the ceiling? Just trying to figure out what our end design is going to look like as we start our kitchen

What's the faucet looking thing over the range? Water for fires/fillin' pots?

It's a pot filler for people who say they can't carry a full pot over from their sink. Just don't ask how they manage to drain it.

RE: Outlets immediately next to the range: A lot of older ranges have outlets built into the backsplash/control panel, so next to is probably a bit better.

My building's electric strike stopped remote unlocking. I took it out of the door frame and found this!! It's a Molex "Micro-Fit" connector. Has anyone installed these? Can I use a d-sub insertion/extraction tool and reuse the wiring (assuming it's still good? I will test w/ multimeter). Maybe I should just buy one of their prefab harnesses and splice it in? As I am writing this post I noticed the little splices tucked into the frame.

God, I was heading out the door for a meeting and didn't actually mean to post that photo lol - I was replying to the dishwasher comment and WAS going to discuss the GFI outlet location and the backsplash of the angled tile that seems to be the thing now. I guess it attached after all  Yes, as been mentioned repeatedly, just a potfiller. No children and I agree - having kids with it would probably be something I'd rather not do with it. Luckily, we have no kids but the wife doesn't even like using it. It loving puts out though - the water line going to it must be a 1/4" larger than the kitchen faucet. Probably fills as fast as our bath tub, no joke. Faster than the kitchen sink faucet for sure.. I use it if I am filling the big soup pot or stock pot, but really, we'd be fine without it. I would not pay extra for it, but our builder typically does custom homes and it's kind of the thing he always did, so he had one basically installed before we even bought the home (was 95% finished when we bought). I use a pretty big stockpot and it fills it no problem. I just measured it and it's about 16-17' from the top burner grates. Sirotan posted:I can't tell if this photo is a joke or a goof  Ee: you know what I never noticed the outlets weren't symmetric before, until just now. I will say it's kinda handy as it allows me to use the immersion with the left plug. I'm not sure if I could with the right. slidebite fucked around with this message at 07:52 on Feb 18, 2023 |

Just trying to figure out what our end design is going to look like as we start our kitchen Best guess: cost/,laziness. But I kinda also think one spot of tile going to the ceiling would look weird... Especially in a high ceiling. Top of the cabinet might look ok though. E; God drat edit isn't post.

Just trying to figure out what our end design is going to look like as we start our kitchen Didn't want to pay for it and also didn't want to have to deal with the cabinet crown and didn't want to have to mount the vent hood to tile. 3 no's vs it looking good (maybe) means it wasn't worth it.

We’ve painted a bunch of our trim white but now we’re left with brown solid doors throughout the house. They’re good wood and study so I don’t want to replace them but we’re thinking we’ll paint those white too. Any thoughts on those Wagner airless sprayers going for $150-200 at Home Depot? Seems like an easier way to take the doors off and quickly paint them but I’ve never used one.

I have one which I have never used for paint but used for staining our fence, it worked fine. Massive time saver for sure over using a brush on our rough-saw cedar. Make sure you do it outside in an area where you don't care if there is a bit of overspray, or at least it certainly did with the stain (which is probably thinner than your paint). I used a wagner power roller for our walls in one of our last homes and that worked quite well too. Less wasted paint for sure.

We got one of the Wagner ones that was like 200, and it worked great for spraying a bunch of doors and cabinet doors. Nice finish, easy to use, relatively easy to clean. It's not the same finish you'd get out of a fancier Graco sprayer, but it's far superior to rolling, and honestly, you're probably not gonna prep these doors to a mirror finish surface anyway.

They’re good wood and study so I don’t want to replace them but we’re thinking we’ll paint those white too. When you say solid I assume you mean not hollow, what does the door look like otherwise? Smooth, six panel, two panel etc? I'm against spraying unless you're spraying down a whole house. Over spray you gotta mask for and more cleanup of the tool. For a door you should be doing multiple coats and painting all six sides if it's new, but not so important if they're already sealed. So at a minimum you're investing a lot of time to let everything dry so you can flip it, so it doesn't get stuck to the floor or walls or masking or drop cloths. With all the setup I'd rather just use a mini roller and paint brush.

I was looking for a pic but I can't find one, but when spraying doors I've screwed a big piece of plywood or 2 2x6s to the bottom, stood them up on a tarp on the driveway and had at it. You can walk around the door easily enough and get all sides. It's hard to tell if that's a solid core door, but if it is and you like the style, it may be worth sanding and doing a coat of kilz and 2 coats of white that matches the trim.

There’s so many loving doors in this house that well probably do exactly that. 11 of them I think.

I've used the method they show here with both hand rollers and a sprayer to get both sides in the same go. Doing it with the door vertical has a higher likelihood of runs https://www.familyhandyman.com/list/great-tips-for-painting-doors/

I'd describe it as a six panel solid wood door. It would look good with wood trim and looks out of place with painted trim. There's no accounting for taste here.

The crown. gently caress crown, I refuse. Gotta find a sucker to install it for me. Light over sink is another can, plug next to stove has been there since the house was built and it's way too much trouble to move it for no gain.
