I have a galley kitchen and a full door doesn’t really work for the space. If you have new construction with a big open floor plan I can see a regular full door working but in my kitchen it’s a non starter.

HEY NONG MAN posted:I have a kitchenaid KRFC302ESS00 Meh. No built-in water dispenser means I have to use one of those water filter pitches, which take up space. But yeah, I understand what you mean. I'll be on the lookout. So the verdict is: don't wait for a sale, and buy the fridge I need right away?

You could get the type of filter that attaches to your sink faucet, but I've never owned one of those so I don't know if they're good or whatever Actually I'd like to ask what folks around here do for water filtration, we're looking at replacing our fridge (a side-by-side with an in-door ice maker and water dispenser, with a filter at floor level) and my wife is insisting on having an in-door water dispenser whereas I'm fine with a pitcher. Those of you who don't have in-door water, what do you use? To answer your question on sales, if you don't have a fridge at all then I wouldn't bother waiting unless you *really* don't need the fridge for awhile. I wouldn't bother getting a mini-fridge to try and hold myself over unless I also happened to want a mini-fridge for some other reason

Some have a water dispenser right inside the door. That could take up less space (still have the precious door shelves) and is probably cheaper. The clean look is a bonus. My new house came with some kind of filtered faucet next to the main faucet, but I haven’t investigated what kind it is. Maybe RO?

my fridge dispenses chilled, filtered water, ice cubes, and crushed ice on demand and it never runs out. instead of constantly refilling a pitcher, I change the filter about once every six months. I lived without this for 40 years, and was fine. I don't intend to ever live without it again, because I can easily, trivially afford not to, and it's nice. If I didn't have the filter in the fridge, I'd spend $400 for a decent under-sink reverse osmosis setup, and have almost the same thing except slower flow, not chilled, and no crushed ice on demand. Filter pitchers work, but are a hassle. More filter changes, you ned to wash the pitcher, takes room, someone else uses almost all the water but doesn't refill it, no crushed ice. Tap water is fine if yours tastes ok, of course, but still not chilled and no crushed ice.

I've got a single door fridge with an icemaker and a water dispenser. It's good. I later bought something that is or is very similar to this model but it was about $800 because it was at Sears Outlet. My renters love it. You don't have to give up water dispensers if you want solid doors.

I think 8/8:30 is fine, at that point if I hear you mowing and I'm still in bed and tired I know I'm being the lazy rear end in a top hat. Also yall are crazy if you think single door beats french door.

There's a 99% chance your municipality has a noise ordinance covering this. It's probably 9am. Watch out for differences due to religious reasons too, some places have shorter hours on Sunday. I've heard some real strict places actually have blanket bans on Sunday Also I think mowing when there's dew is a bad idea here's mine quote:Please not that lawn equipment may only be operated between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m., Monday through Friday; between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. on Saturdays and between 10 a.m. and 9 p.m. on Sundays and holidays. mastershakeman fucked around with this message at 13:59 on May 12, 2018 |

Just had to take my downspouts apart.. there was a solid mass of leaves that I could not get out any other way. The downspout must have been 5 pounds lighter afterwards.

drat I missed all the good fridge talk. I am also a mangetic french door fridge guy who drinks tap water and scoops ice. Definitely elite living here. See through doors and wifi fridges are stupid gimmicks. I am so glad I bought a house. Having a garage dedicated to power tools own. I've been using the hell out of my 30 gallon air compressor and chop saw just building poo poo and spraying poo poo. Got a quote for a 4 foot wide dog gate - $400. Built it myself for $22 in wood and $20 in parts in a half hour. Sepist fucked around with this message at 16:25 on May 12, 2018 |

Speaking of power tools in a garage... I have a finished garage that is on a single 15amp circuit. All my power tools are on the opposite wall of the breaker box. It seems like the actual process is pretty simple, but making sure I'm doing it to code seems basically impossible. I know all garage outlets must be GFCI. But I have no clue if I'm allowed to make a garage circuit go across the celling in conduit. Does that conduit have to be metal/PVC, rigid? Does that change if it's a 30amp circuit? What is the proper way to actually get the circuit from the board, and out of the wall into the conduit. Should I just hire an electrician?

Actually this is wrong. Contrary to popular belief, old-school top-freezer fridges are the most energy efficient by about 10-30%. This is because the compressor is near the bottom, and it generates a lot of heat, which makes the fridge work harder to maintain freezer temperature if it is at the bottom.

Suggest you ask in the Don't Burn Your House Down thread, but for a garage, you should be fine with EMT conduit or flex conduit. Just make sure that the wires are securely anchored to the boxes and that the conduit is supported. Fishing wire through the wall is a pain in the rear end though, especially if you want a long horizontal run. Easiest option is to run it on the surface of the wall, but if that bothers you for appearances or whatever then you may want to hire someone.

If you're mowing before 10 AM on the weekend then I loving hate you. Normal people stay up friday night doing poo poo and then sleep in.  If you're using a leaf blower then it should be legal to murder you.

Fridge chat will never die. While at Lowes just now I scoped out some fridges as we are replacing ours real soon now. French door + drawer freezer: they all offer a model with in door ice and water. The ice maker is in the fridge. 4-door French doors bottom freezer: I am immediately turned off by the one I looked at which is 2 separate compartments on the bottom. That was about as much attention span my 2 year old had.

I don't know where I read that freezer-drawer fridges are more efficient than top-freezer fridges, but energystar agrees with you and they probably know better. Found an article that said this: quote:A top-freezer is the traditional option. It's also the cheaper option and the more energy-efficient option. The main drawback? It won't win you any design awards and you'll have to lean over to get at whatever's hiding behind the cheese in your fridge. "top-freezer fridges are cheaper and better, but they're not as trendy and you have to bend over!" lol

I got a dimming touch lamp that's got low/med/high setting. It doesn't seem to work with a CFL bulb (flashes once then off), nor this dimmable LED bulb I have (will light up if it's on while bulb is screwed in but won't turn on/off). Only the incandescent works normally. Are there any options for energy-saving bulbs I could use with this lamp?

LG makes a model without the window, the door-in-the-door is awesome though for extra storage. They don't have as established of a support network though, the worst reviews had issues with people coming out and not fixing it for weeks, so we actually sprung for the geek squad warranty where they have to replace the whole thing if they can't fix it. Getting water from the fridge also means it's extra cold even without ice. French doors are also awesome to keep dog faces out of the fridge, even our giant.

If it's really extra storage, then isn't the insulation of the fridge overall partially compromised by having this big door section where the insulation is a lot thinner? Tricky Ed posted:Why are gold hardware/accents in style again? Didn't we just spend 30 years eradicating them? Yeah, I think you did. This seems to be a common human civilization thing, old trends fall out of fashion and then become popular again later. The same ugly things are still ugly to the same people, but younger people grow up and think that those ugly things actually look good now. There's evidence that facial hair goes through popularity cycles in a similar way, when everyone has facial hair then it becomes untrendy, when no one has it then suddenly everyone wants to grow a beard QuarkJets fucked around with this message at 01:05 on May 13, 2018 |

Lots of white and gold accessories in style starting last year, the glass and brass look from the 80s/90s hasn’t quite come back though. I’m not seeing much brass in lighting or cabinet hardware, and I’m aggressively shopping new fixtures. Boy do people love those globe chandeliers though. I swear it was in every well staged house.

Our house came with French doors, bottom freezer, in door Ice and water dispenser and it has legitimately changed my eating habits. I down Ice water and it isn't so much that it is a substitute for other drinks (didn't drink much soda before), but that I'm always very hydrated and it is a great no-effort late night hunger suppressor I.e. at night i grab a glass, fill with Ice and water, sip the water and then chew the ice for 15m, and next thing I know I'm not really craving whatever and go to bed. It's great But before that I was an ice cube tray and pitcher filter person, so upgrade from in freezer ice bin and other water filter methods may be marginal
