If you're bored, you can come by the new place and get some turkey or whatever.

We have an externally venting duct but the fucking fan in the microwave has no ass and can't pull a draft at all, most of the smoke/etc ends up just going straight past it

There's no other way to run the vent hood ducting. Had to cut into the ceiling. The ceiling is pretty nasty from grease, especially over the range, so it needs to be painted anyway.Big Brain Bradley wrote: ↑Mon Oct 29, 2018 11:13 am
dude. you have to repaint lots of ceiling now.
At least fix the stupid cabinets as part of your remodel.

Yea, the round table is 5/7. We had 4 people over for dinner on Friday, and six sitting at the table was really nice. Great for conversation.Desertbreh wrote: ↑Mon Oct 29, 2018 12:42 pmLove the round table. It think it is appropriately sized for crotchfruit free lyfe. Dat pot filler.....

All the cabinets around the range are down now. They made the kitchen feel too closed in, and we only had plates in one. The corner unit held spices, and has some want to store spices apparently. The plates were relocated to another cabinet.
We're also going to pull out the cabinet between the range and the door. Then we'll install a 36" range and I'm going to build a small butcher block counter to fit between the range and the wall. The idea here is to open up the kitchen a bit more.
That is a fairly fucked up kitchen corner there, I think he downgraded in the kitchen whilst upgrading everywhere else. Nothing obscene amounts of cash can't fix.Big Brain Bradley wrote: ↑Mon Oct 29, 2018 2:30 pmDetroit wrote: ↑Mon Oct 29, 2018 2:25 pm

solid plan. Will you have any storage on that wall?
that shit the PO did with the cabinet and the light is criminal.

Apparently, the pot filler is going to stay, despite my protest to get rid of it. Worse, it needs to be changed to a different fixture because apparently all the hardware in the kitchen is going to be brass.
TBD on more storage. mentioned shelves to put cook books and random things on...I reminded her the result of shelves next to the range last time, and she agreed. We'll probably just leave the wall open and put art on it or something.Big Brain Bradley wrote: ↑Mon Oct 29, 2018 2:30 pmDetroit wrote: ↑Mon Oct 29, 2018 2:25 pm

It's a cluster. Makes little sense, but won't be a ton of cash to fix. No major construction needed, just the cost of materials/appliances. We've got a solid plan so far.Desertbreh wrote: ↑Mon Oct 29, 2018 2:35 pmThat is a fairly fucked up kitchen corner there, I think he downgraded in the kitchen whilst upgrading everywhere else.

Good deal. That range is so buried in that corner I didn't even notice it until Breh made his comment about the pot filler. You definitely have room for a bigger range, for sure. One thing to keep in mind with a 36", and this is in no way a criticism, just an observation I'm passing along, is that the oven is pretty yuuge and they take a long time to warm up to cooking temp. Just keep that in mind when you figure cooking/prep time for the DFD Thanksgiving extravaganza.Detroit wrote: ↑Mon Oct 29, 2018 2:25 pmThere's no other way to run the vent hood ducting.

Yep, the concern has been discussed. isn't worried. I wish they made 36" ranges with a double oven of sorts, but they don't. We really don't use the oven a ton anyway, so I think it should be OK.wap wrote: ↑Mon Oct 29, 2018 2:55 pmGood deal.

They're often perfectly reasonable compromises, size wise, for situations like yours. We had a 20 ft wall so our 48" fits just fine.

We considered a 48" range, but that'll take up the entire side wall there, and is really overkill for what we want. We did go to a high end appliance store to check them out, but agreed that the 48" is just too big. She'd rather have a bit more space than the 30" with the 36, but still have some space on the side for the butcher block counter thing for some reason.

Cabinet and the light?

OH...so the angle made it worse than it is, the cabinet does not cover the light at all. For some reason, the trim molding on top of the cabinets was fasted to the cabinets rather than the ceiling, so there was a gap...and it made it look funky in shots.Big Brain Bradley wrote: ↑Mon Oct 29, 2018 3:08 pm

The new Cafe appliances (GE's recently launched brand) is the winner at this moment. 36" range includes 6 18k BTU brass burners. We can't find any others that have ALL high powered burners like that. Also has convection oven, etc. The color will also match the GE dishwasher I just bought AND you can change out the knobs to different finished that has full blown:wap wrote: ↑Mon Oct 29, 2018 3:04 pmThey're often perfectly reasonable compromises, size wise, for situations like yours.

She's focused (too much IMO) on looks. We looked at Viking and Wolf and she doesn't like that they're only stainless steel. Want more style for max
There's these euro brands (french and italian) that offer the design she's looking for, but the performance reviews are pretty mixed. Not to mention, finding parts will likely be a challenge that I don't feel like messing with. Like this checks all the boxes:

But it's a brand I've never heard of at way too good a price. There's no way this thing is legit for the price. Let alone parts availability is seriously in question.
I don't care much either, but I'm going to spend more on a fucking range than I did on cars for YEARS, I want to make an educated purchase.Desertbreh wrote: ↑Mon Oct 29, 2018 4:00 pmI vaguely remembered when I cared about stuff this but I have buried those memories so deep Sigmund Freud couldn't find them.Detroit wrote: ↑Mon Oct 29, 2018 3:37 pm

So, the $5k GE one will probably win. I've had great luck with GE appliances, so there are worse options.
