RAFL week 9 - Prairie Roots
Mom never had trouble keeping the water hot in her SS sink. For that
matter, up until I was about 5 years old, I took all my baths in the kitchen sink and then my girls did when they were at grandma's house too. I guess temperature is relative to the outside temps too and most times the temps where I grew up ranged from the 50F-80F. So the cold of where you are versus where we are are completely different. BTW, spring has sprung here. We broke records yesterday with 77F and today we were supposed to be over 80F. Debbie "Prairie Roots" wrote in message ... The reasons Joyce lists below are the primary reasons my three friends gave for disliking SS.

Sounds great. You'll have to post before and after pictures of the kitchen.
"Prairie Roots" wrote in message ... Thanks for your input, Fred. I really appreciate hearing what other people think. I've decided to go with a Blanco SS sink with built-in drainer board. I found a great deal on the Web, better price than the plumber can get; I'll be ordering it in the next day or two. I ordered a few bathroom accessories over the weekend. Construction starts Wednesday. On Lee's suggestion, I paid a visit to Target yesterday and picked up an electric skillet, and also a convection/toaster oven and a hot pot (for boiling water for tea). Both the skillet and the oven are stainless steel with black. Tonight I'm setting up a temporary kitchen in the basement. Most likely, I'll be keeping my almond refrigerator, at least for another year or two. It's only 8 years old and still works/looks like new. My stove is so old I can't even get burner pans to fit and parts don't work any more. The dishwasher is old as well. Still functional but rust is forming inside. My microwave is in similar condition. So I'll be replacing these three appliances now. The DW will be builtin, the MW attached to the wall above the stove. The stove will be free standing, but it and my refrigerator will look builtin with cabinets on both sides. Only the fronts will be exposed. I want my kitchen to feel contemporary and traditional at the same time. With my designer's help, I think I'll end up with a room that, in her words, is both edgy (without being trendy) and timeless. SS appliances will help me achieve that look. Thanks again for your opinion. It helps. Linda P On Mon, 08 Mar 2004 18:21:49 -0800, Fred wrote: I went stainless appliances and still like the choice altho, I did not replace all of them at once. The dishwasher was the first item. About 6 months later a fridge. Finally, two years after that it was the free-standing range. Gas top, electric oven. I lived fine with the mix (G) My sink/counter is corian. Seamless, which is what I wanted. Corian does have some limitations - have to be careful with heat/hot items. They recommend not pouring off boiling water directly into it without running a stream of cold water from the tap. Many think stainless appliances are too surgical/sterile. Like I said, three years later - I still like it. One issue - many such appliances, especially free-standing - fridge/oven - have only black sidewalls. That can be imposing. Black stove top also seems to show smears more than my white one did. Another fact - good stainless will not hold refrigerator magnets - might be an important issue for hanging grandchild's masterworks! (G) But that's how I overcome the black sidewall of the fridge - lots of magnets (G) On Mon, 08 Mar 2004 16:02:05 -0600, Prairie Roots wrote: Thanks Lee.

Good point. I never did get before pictures but took many during the
process. That's what drove the digital camera purchase.

I don't remember the noise being a factor, or keeping water hot. I have a dishwasher, but do wash by hand throughout the day (small loads, meal prep stuff). And if soaking, the water still gets cold in the ceramic sink ... I tend to let stuff sit too long. G Hey, as long as YOU will be happy - that's what is important. Get what you want, you have to live with it. I honestly do believe that is why there are different materials available ... for each of our different tastes.

You really don't need to remind us about the temps at your house (I'm in
Illinois). I was talking to a friend of mine in Northern California last night and they had the air condition on--we had flurries today.

RAFL week 9 - Prairie Roots
LOL Broke another record today too. It is nice, but we will get used to it
and the real spring will hit us again and then proceed to ruin what ever crops are ready to harvest. We always get rain that ruins the cherry crop. Debbie "Prairie Roots" wrote in message ...

RAFL week 9 - Prairie Roots
But we never have flurries or temps like that unless we are having a severe
cold spell. Debbie "skiur" wrote in message ... You really don't need to remind us about the temps at your house (I'm in Illinois). I was talking to a friend of mine in Northern California last night and they had the air condition on--we had flurries today. I just got back from the bookstore and there was frost on my car. I think the car said it was 34F. Really...no need to rub it in. Julie "Deb in Northern California" wrote in message ... Mom never had trouble keeping the water hot in her SS sink. For that matter, up until I was about 5 years old, I took all my baths in the kitchen sink and then my girls did when they were at grandma's house too. I guess temperature is relative to the outside temps too and most times the temps where I grew up ranged from the 50F-80F. So the cold of where you are versus where we are are completely different.

The reasons Joyce lists below are the primary reasons my three friends gave for disliking SS. Other reasons include the noise of SS when hit with a pan or tumbling tableware (forks, knives, spoons), and the inability to keep hot water hot when handwashing dishes. Honestly, I've never noticed the noise factor. Water spots don't bother me at all. And I use a dishwasher. You can find a picture of me at www.flylady.net. I'm the frazzled one in the upper left corner of the home page. I'm ordering my SS sink today.

Thanks Lee. My sink choices are quickly narrowing to stainless steel. I've been listening to a couple of friends who don't care for stainless, but I have SS now and don't seem to mind the problems they've listed. I'll be buying a new gas range/stovetop and dishwasher, too, and am considering stainless steel finish.

My current weight: 159.6 lbs Weight change since my last recorded weight: 0.0 lbs Total weight change to date: -72.4 lbs Today I'm grateful to see no change in my weight from last week. I've been on a mental plateau this week. Hitting the 70+ total loss and getting below 160 is doing a job on my motivation to keep going. This is further than I expected to go; some part of me I haven't heard from before is wondering why I think I should even further. It probably didn't help that, on a whim, I tried on a jacket formerly worn by one of my skinny daughters and discovered that it fit. I also went shopping for some new jeans and got into a classic fit size 10 petite withOUT stretch. When I also discovered that the medium tops fit nicely, I realized I should head over to the foundations department for new undergarments and give my girls a new lift. Since starting WW, I've gone down from 44DD to 38D. My food was off this week. More importantly, I didn't exercise even once. I'm on a rollercoaster ride with the impending construction work on my kitchen and bathroom. My current dilemma is deciding what kind of kitchen sink I want and how much of my construction budget I want to spend on it. I still haven't gotten my bike. Later today I'll have to call and find out if I need to get cranky. The bus strike started and I'm carpooling, leaving earlier than usual and getting home later. I'm starting with a new hospice patient whose health issues. A major project I've been involved with at work is nearing completion and morphing into an even bigger project. All of this is to say that I took a bit of a breather from WW this week to marvel at my overall progress and to focus on a few other pressing issues. That I ended up maintaining is a wonder.

RAFL week 9 - Prairie Roots
*mrph*
I'm just irritated that winter seems to be back these few days and I was so looking forward to warmer weather. I feel cheated somehow. This is the furthest north that I've lived. Julie, cranking the heat back up. "Deb in Northern California" wrote in message ... But we never have flurries or temps like that unless we are having a severe cold spell.
