Moved! Finally!

[super32]

As some of you may remember, we moved to the Chicagoland area back in Nov 06'. Well finally after 6mos of renting we are now in our new house. Unfortunatlly as with many older homes things begin to reveal themselves after some of the dust begins to settle, but we shall slowly but surely overcome many of the battles. We are still in the process of renovating a few of the rooms. After DH crawled up in the attic, looky what he found.

Scotty, glad you and Gary are "home" now.

 

[vintagesearch]

cool bosch frontloader! although a amateur in domestic frontloaders like me i cant really tell the difference between the washer and the dryer LOL! but very cool ;P

 

[hoover1060]

Congrats !

Scott congrats on the house and all the goodies. That Kirby Classic is a good find!
Enjoy the new house and Bosch's too!

 

[appnut]

Washer on left, dryer on right.

 

[scott55405]

Enjoy your new home! I'm glad to see Bosch finally went back to putting windows in their dryers. Those ones they made for a while looked so cheesy.

 

[super32]

Thank you everyone

Scott

Your right about the cheezy looking dryer doors. My first dryer didnt have the window. Finally when they came out with it, I managed to aquire a replacement door.

What a fun housewarming present you found in the attic - all I found in mine was an old ventilator fan housing (wanna see a picture, Peter? ;-)

I like the windowed doors on the dryers too - much better. I like that gray color too. Congrats on the move and enjoy your new home!

Red lights...

What are they/ What is it?

 

[super32]

Seeing red

I cant believe no one has hit on or figured out the red light. I will leave it go another day to see if anyone figures it out. Dont stare too hard at the light, look at the whole picture.

Here is another picture for a clue. Sorry about the not so clear picture. I'll never make it in the photography field.

Hi Scott, could it possibly be from a Bosh dishwasher?? Seems like I have read about this.

 

[super32]

tlee

Your absolutly correct. they call it the info light. Its suppose to be so quiet, the light is the only way to tell if its on. Actually while it is very quiet, if the room is quiet you can still hear it running.

Here is a pic of the rest of the unfinished kitchen

 

[tlee618]

Scott that is a beautiful kitchen!!!

 

[hoover1060]

wow!

Thats absolutely beautiful!

 

[petek]

Very nice kitchen, so bright and you don't need the lights on in the daytime which is something that irks me with the one in our house. What are the stove and fridge?

 

[~sudsshane]

Hi Scott

The stove and fridge look like maybe they could be Jenn-Aire?...Also, to make a recommendation, keep your stainless steel clean with Weiman's Stainless Steel polish. It is really the best stuff around..

Good Luck

 

[swestoyz]

Scott, so good to hear you've moved into your new home. I agree with Pete, your kitchen is so bright, and looks very cozy. Having that much open window space will be a a nice touch. Thanks for sharring!

Ben

 

[super32]

Thanks for the compliments!

There are a few things left yet to do. Over top of the frig needs a sofit or dummy board to fill the rest of the gap. The ceiling fan has GOT TO GO! And I need to get a hood for the stove. The OTR doesnt cut it. Then finally it needs some paint.

The stove and frig are both Thermador. The frig is a Whirlpool built unit. Working for BSH makes it a little hard to buy another brand, especially for the difference in cost. After all I have to keep it in the family LOL.

PeteK Your right about it being a bright kitchen. You dont need light during the daytime. There also is another window to the left of the stove that doesnt show in the picture.

Shane, thanks fro the tip on the cleaner. I'm currently using the whirlpool flavor but i'm open to trying something else. Any perticular place you pick this up?

 

[westytoploader]

Scott, congratulations, your new house looks fantastic, especially the kitchen. I love those Thermadors; we saw a similar stove and refrigerator at our trip to the Great Indoors last year.

The Classic Omega is a nice surprise as well. I bet with a little Mother's polish and some elbow grease, it will clean up great.

Weiman's Stainless Steel Polish

Hey Scott..

Target here in Florida sells it. If you have difficulty finding it, I could always end you a few cans...let me know in an e-mail..

 

[scott55405]

I like that kitchen very much! I am a "light, bright" person too, particularly where kitchens are concerned. How come you don't like the ceiling fan? In all events, you may send it to me if you don't want it anymore, I could use a new one in the dining room and that one would do nicely. ;->

Shane I bought some of that Weiman's stuff at Target and used it to polish my Royal vacuum. It worked quite well! I think I'm probably too compulsive to own stainless steel appliances though. I love my stainless sink but hate those times when I finish polishing it, then find a stray dirty dish or some other reason I have to run water. LOL!

 

[scott55405]

Shane, do you have a stainless sink and if so do you use the Weiman's on that? I have some kind of spray polish I use, but might try the Weiman's if you've done that.

Scott

The ceiling fan is on a dimmer. Thats reel good for an A/C motor! Also I just never though a kitchen was the place for a ceiling fan. We will proabaly end up putting it in the bedroom since we managed to maul that one moving in.

I'm also with you on the stainless. Its a !@#$ to keep clean but it sure does look good when it is clean.

Light is a beautiful thing

I have these in my kitchen, bathroom and over the stairway to the lower level and they are wonderful.

I believe they are far superior to a skylight

[petek]

I've wondered about those Solatubes if they actually worked or not. Our kitchen is on the dark side but since it has cathedral ceilings over it installing a skylight wouldn't be that difficult it just that I worry about future leakage.

 

[scott55405]

Oh yes Scott I see what you mean about the motor and dimmer. You'll enjoy it in the bedroom though. I had one similar to that in my last bedroom. This place doesn't have ceiling wiring in the bedroom or it'd be perfect to have one here too!

Pete, my Dad has Solatubes in both his bathrooms and they seem great.

Hi Scott..

Nah..I just use Mr Clean on my Stainless sink and sometimes Bar Keepers Friend. **recommended by David-(Zipdang)** I use Weimans on the Stainless fridge,trash compactor,dishwasher and gas range.. oh, and also the stainless LG W/D- FL.
