Not a TV, but a tablet in the kitchen would be 5/7 for looking at recipes. I might repurpose my amazon tablet to do that since I'm not using it for autox anymore.Detroit wrote: ↑Mon Oct 29, 2018 3:29 pmTV's going away.

Also, get rid of those wires underneath the TV. What is this, a fraternity house?

Dat range sure is purdy, but about the brand, and it still has only 4 burners.Detroit wrote: ↑Mon Oct 29, 2018 3:37 pmThe 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:

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:
https://www.appliancesconnection.com/ha ... 0cmmg.html
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.

Indeed. High end GE stuff is solid.Detroit wrote: ↑Mon Oct 29, 2018 4:13 pmThat's what I was trying to get through to her, but she's just not having it.Desertbreh wrote: ↑Mon Oct 29, 2018 4:10 pm
I too would be more concerned about performance vs. appearance.
So, the $5k GE one will probably win. I've had great luck with GE appliances, so there are worse options.

We put a firestick on the TV and Alexa doesn't work. Ask it to show you a recipie and it just starts reading it, which is 5/7 worthless.troyguitar wrote: ↑Mon Oct 29, 2018 4:32 pmNot a TV, but a tablet in the kitchen would be 5/7 for looking at recipes.

Agreed that a tablet would work better for this purpose.

Chris actually has a story where it would go "Alexa, how do I reset a GFCI outlet?" millenials

Close. They had no idea what the outlet was or what the point was. It was just "dead".Desertbreh wrote: ↑Mon Oct 29, 2018 6:18 pmChris actually has a story where it would go "Alexa, why is the outlet dead in my bathroom?" millenials

HA. yeah... thats a tad long to type up today.
Cliffs: wife, GF at time, had a married co worker whos electric gate didnt work. Husband was sure the outlet was bad but was scared to replaced it because electricity is scary. I offer to go look at it.
Ray ray and I show up with limited tools. Gate is poorly designed and installed, but we search for the root cause. Gate was solar powered with some sketchy ac adapter plug in thing snaked into under kitchen sink cabinet. Outlet was hanging out wall and appeared to have broken plastics. I replaced the outlet but it was still dead.
Dude bro: "oh yeah, most our kitchen outlets on counter dont work, and the one on the island has been dead a long time. I cant charge my iphone there"
I go look, sure enough its a GFCI. Push, click pop light. Test all outlets, boom, they work.
Dude bro: Im glad im not an electrician.
Me: yeah me too.... youd starve.

Late to the game here, but I have a couple Google Home Hubs, one in the kitchen and it is pretty awesome. When idle it displays my images from google photos and will play back youtube vids. Great for "Hey Google, how do you boil water?" type requests.Detroit wrote: ↑Mon Oct 29, 2018 5:04 pmWe put a firestick on the TV and Alexa doesn't work.

good to know. We were just debating the usefulness of a Google Home type thing. Might be worth picking up while they're on sale.CorvetteWaxer wrote: ↑Sat Nov 24, 2018 11:12 pmLate to the game here, but I have a couple Google Home Hubs, one in the kitchen and it is pretty awesome.

Oh wow, been a while in here.
Just signed a contract with an architect to draw up garage plans.

It's not going to be the gargemahal that I hoped due to city restrictions. 750sqft max, 15' high max (as measured half way up rafters). Likely going to do a 2.5 car with the .5 for a small work area, and ceiling tall enough for possible stacker lifts in the future. Loft over work area for storage. Footprint large enough to fit in.
