And that's pretty much how I look at work. Nobody cares what we look like. All they care about is what our work "looks" like when we're done. Only the CEO wears a tie or ironed shirts. Our CFO dresses worse than the engineers. Cindy Hamilton |

Was your installed bare wood and then finished in place? We're looking at remodeling our kitchen and are having a hard time figuring out what to do with the floor. Hard tile is out of the question. We were considering sheet vinyl, but everything we've seen looks terrible. Hardwood is an appealing option, and those pre-finished planks with the UV-cured finish are interesting, but I'd be afraid that debris would fall down between the boards. Then again, our floors are pretty bouncy (and the kitchen is over a bunch of mechanicals, so it would be difficult to sister the joists), so a finish applied in situ might well crack anyway.

Our kitchen floor was a bit bouncy too but after the 3/4" T&G hardwood was installed no more bounce. The fella that did it knew his stuff, his father installed all the hardwood floors here more tham fifty years ago and retired, but now his son took over. He had all the proper tools, a special pneumatic nailer that nailed on a bias, no glue... real hardwood flooring is NEVER glued, that would be sinful. His sander was laser driven, floor turned out as flat and level as a pro billiard table. There are no spaces between the boards, all the appliances were moved out so the flooring was installed there too, and inside closets. All the molding was carefully removed and replaced after the flooring was installed. Where there were transitions he custom made saddles. I have no complaints, and everyone who sees it loves it. Starting: http://i65.tinypic.com/2dvk83k.jpg A custom made on site transition saddle: http://i68.tinypic.com/14acvx3.jpg The only down side to installing real hardwood flooring is that sanding is messy, but he sealed all the other rooms with plastic sheeting and when he was done he vacuumed up all the dust, his sander had a dust collection feature but not perfect, we had to do some clean up too. http://i66.tinypic.com/16rjx5.jpg What's not to like: http://i64.tinypic.com/2vu0nix.jpg I have lots more pictures but I think you get the idea, I have no regrets, none: http://i63.tinypic.com/20hoift.jpg I love my kitchen, perfectly designed. Every stick of lumber in this house came from trees on this property, all the cabinets and paneling too. The whole family helped build it, Norwegians are excellent carpenters. Brazilian cherry darkens when exposed to sunlight but we've gotten used to the changes and move the area rug under the table occasionally so it all evened out. We have no wall to wall carpeting anywhere, instead we use area rugs and some very nice oriental rugs that get moved about periodically. If you decide on real hardwood be certain the intaller you choose knows his stuff, do your research and inspect his jobs in person, do not rely on photos. Real hardwood is a lifetime investment so choose carefully... don't let anyone talk you into laminate. If you have questions I'll be happy to share what I know. |

His wife's opinion >> doesn't even count since he never lets anyone into HIS kitchen. lol My wife is very happy not to cook, not her thing, that's the main reson we get along so well, because I do all the cooking. >Well aren't we feeling frisky today! No one will ever see Gary's kitchen, just a $10 microwave oven from a yard sale, greasy-filthy. His kitchen sink is down the hall in the shared communal terlit. I saw those pics where he lives, those are WWII barracks, all crackhead occupants share the latrine in the partial basement. In fact I don't believe he has an apartment, Gary has a corrogated cardboard pallet in the abandoned coal bin in that partial basement... that's why he kept a ferret, because of the rats gnawing on his toes.

One of the chores I use >>> it for is cutting Seville orange peels for marmalade. It would easily >>> take 20 minutes or more to slice them all up fine enough to make >>> marmalade. The FP can cut them up in a minute. For chopping citrus peels I use my meat grinder with a large hole plate... I don't own a food processer, I have no use for one. A meat grinder does a much better job of making all the pieces evenly sized as they all pass through just once. I no longer have a stand mixer my Kitchen Aid hand mixer is more than adequate for two person sized recipes and Kitchen Aid stand mixers are too small for large batches. I used to have a 12 quart Hobart. But now if I want to bake a loaf of bread my ABM is more than adequate... or I can knead bt hand. When I was young I entertained so the 12 quart Hobart worked well, but these days we rarely entertain more than another couple... and we have no relatives still living... that's a negative of growing old, most everyone we used to know from our young days is gone or in nursing homes far away. There are only two guys I still correspond with from the Navy and they are older than me and in very poor health, one in Texas, one in Washington State. Where I worked for 25 years I was the youngest one, only one remains that I knew and he lives in Florida... we phone each other about once every two months but mostly it's about ancient shop talk... Charlie The Actor lost his wife about three years ago but has a son living in Florida.... Charlie was in the acting club at work, a very handsome man with a great voice. he should have been in Hollywood. >> I somewhat recently rediscovered orange marmalade.

I need more now and I'll look for your recommendation. I do like it. |

I find inexpensive store brand orange marmalade very adequate and works well for my uses, mostly added to cake batter and I add it to marinades. Orange marmalde is excelent added to chocolate cake batter, so is raspberry jam. Orange marmalade is perfect for Oriental marinades... great for pork, chicken, beef. even most vegetables. A tablespoon of orange marmalade added to Chinese hot and sour soup makes it wonderful. |
