Continuity Tester Circuit Diagram
However, in some cases the tester doesn't produce a beep because it won't accept contact resistances that are somewhat higher than usual. Also, poorly conducting (and thus bad) connections are sometimes indicated to be good. Here e-trix comes to your aid with a design for a DIY continuity tester that helps you separate the wheat from the chaff.
Circuit description:
Many multimeters have a built-in continuity test function. However, in many cases the resistance necessary to activate the beeper when you are looking for bad connections is just a bit too high. It can also happen that the beeper sounds even though the resistance of the connection is unacceptably high. This circuit lets you adjust the threshold between bad and good contacts to suit your needs. The circuit is built around an operational amplifier (IC1) wired as a comparator.
The opamp compares the voltage on its inverting input (pin 2) with the voltage on its non-inverting input (pin 3). The voltage on pin 3 can be set using potentiometer P1, so you can set the threshold between good and bad connections. When test probes TP1 and TP2 are placed on either side of a connection or contact to be tested, a voltage is generated across the probes by the current growing though resistors R1 and R3, and it appears on pin 2 of the opamp. This voltage depends on the resistance between the probe tips.
If the voltage on pin 2 is lower than the reference voltage on pin 3, the difference is amplified so strongly by the opamp that its output (pin 6) is practically the same as the supply voltage. This causes transistor T1 to conduct, which in turn causes DC buzzer BZ1 to sound. This means that the resistance of the connection being tested is less than the threshold value set by P1, and thus that the connection is OK.
By contrast, a bad connection will cause the relationship between the voltages on the inputs of the opamp to be the opposite, with the result that its output will be at ground level. The transistor will not conduct, and the buzzer will remain still. To ensure that the opamp 'toggles' properly (which means that its output goes to ground level or the supply voltage level) when the difference voltage is sufficiently large and does not oscillate during the transition interval due to small fluctuations in the difference voltage produced by interference, its output is coupled back to its non-inverting input (pin 3) by resistor R4.
This causes any change on the output to be passed back to this input in amplified form, with the result that the detected difference voltage is amplified (and thus boosted). Diodes D1, D2 and D3 protect the circuit against excessive positive and negative input voltages that may come from the connections or contacts being tested. They also ensure that the continuity tester does not inject excessively high voltages into the item under test. Capacitor C1 suppresses high-frequency interference. The circuit draws only a small supply current, so it can easily be powered by a 9-V battery.

DEFINITION of 'Cleave'
The occurrence of a gemstone breaking into two or more pieces during the cutting or polishing process. Naturally occurring impurities in the stones increase the likelihood that a stone will break apart.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Cleave'
Gemstones - especially large ones - are very rare. When large gemstones are found, they are usually sold to investors who pay to have the stones cut and polished. A large gemstone that is successfully cut and polished is many times more valuable than an unpolished stone of similar size. However, gemstone investments include the substantial risk that a stone will cleave during the cutting or polishing process, causing a substantial decrease in its value.

(AP)-- PYONGYANG, North Korea - A spokesman for North Korea's Foreign Ministry has accused the U.S. of "overt acts of enmity" after the suspension of a nuclear deal between the countries.
In a statement released late Tuesday through state media, the spokesman warned that North Korea will take countermeasures following the breakdown of the deal, in which the U.S. agreed to provide much-needed food aid in exchange for a moratorium on the North's nuclear and missile activity.

Candlelight vigil tonight for missing Escondido girl
Villegas worked for the institute for nine years and served as executive director for the past six.
The institute nearly closed in 2001 because of a lack of funding. Since then, it has assembled a new board, restructured the organization, refocused its programming and returned to financial stability. An announcement of Villegas' resignation credited her as a key player in the institute's fundraising and in improving the organization's operations.
Villegas has accepted a job as associate director of a community health center in Baltimore.
Tyler Wagner, the institute's resource development director, and Carlos Pineda, the programs coordinator, have been appointed acting executive directors. –C.M.

In a few short weeks, life is gonna change. Big time.
As we prepare for a tiny person to turn our lives upside down, I'm trying to really appreciate the quieter nights (and lazier mornings), the dinners for two, the quality alone time I'm about to (at least temporarily) forfeit.
Instead of pining for her "to just get here already," I want to take advantage of the here and now: of warm baths and at-home manicures and reading too late before bed.
Because I don't want to regret not doing these things while I had the chance.
And because I want to find little "me time" indulgences that I can easily reintroduce into my life once the little one and I get used to each other. 'Cause mama's gonna need 'em.
New moms out there, how do you take time for you? What's your favourite way to unwind? (Please include "glass of wine" in your answer.)

Endorse Liberty spent 98 percent of its budget online so far.
Amid all the talk of Super PAC advertising this presidential election season, there's only one group spending a significant amount of money online. Pro-Ron Paul group, Endorse Liberty, has spent around $2.7 million on online advertising since late December. And - mirroring 2008 presidential campaign online spending - most of Endorse Liberty's money has gone to Google.
While most Super PACs or independent expenditure groups have focused mainly on television advertising, 98 percent of Endorse Liberty's ad budget has been placed online. According to Federal Election Commission reports analyzed by ClickZ Politics, the organization, which describes itself as "an alliance of entrepreneurs, inventors and creators" promoting liberty, spent more than $2.25 million on Google ads, or 82 percent of its total ad buys through January 15.
The group is driving people who search for Ron Paul on Google to donate to help support the Texas congressman's dark horse campaign for the GOP nomination. Endorse Liberty has also produced a handful of web videos intended to convince voters to pick Paul. Approximately $343,000, or around 12 percent of the Endorse Liberty budget, went to Facebook advertising. For instance, leading up to the Iowa caucuses, the group ran ads targeting Iowa Republicans on Facebook. A portion of that Facebook ad buy went through online ad firm Smiley Media.
Endorse Liberty is promoting a lengthy 12-minute video viewable on YouTube and on RonVsMitt.com. The very end of the video features a clickable button that allows people to post the video and a Ron Paul endorsement to their Facebook pages. Through the videos, Endorse Liberty aims to persuade Republican primary voters to choose Paul; however, the group also hopes to generate donations through the videos and Google ads. Endorse Liberty also spent $50,000 with CampaignGrid, a firm that sells targeted display and video ads to political and advocacy advertisers. Another $36,000 went towards StumbleUpon placements.
Like the candidate it supports, Endorse Liberty's ad strategy is unique among political campaigns. The group has shunned direct mail, robocalls, and until recently, television advertising. Almost 98 percent of Endorse Liberty's advertising budget has gone towards digital ads, compared to just around 2 percent for TV spots. Addtional expenditures have paid for video production.

If I submit a theme, where will the site content come from? Can I host it on my own website so that Live Preview would actually redirect to my website with that theme and my content, or will my theme just render generic themeforest content?
If I understand you correctly then you HAVE to host the demo on your own server/hosting.
Re: the content you will need to add demo copy/images
Great, that means I can promote my artwork while selling the theme! Thanks!
You're probably best using your artwork as images within the theme demo itself.
Yes, that's what I wanted. Thank you for clarification!

Respond to Review of Portobello Vegan Trattoria
by kindlizard
Review: I called again last go around in Portland. This time I had a man answer to tell me that he could indeed seat us only to keep me on hold for 5 minutes and tell me rather rudely that he didn't think he could seat us and if we were to blah blah blah. I mean, really? The first time I called I got a very confused woman tell me that she could seat me if we wanted to sit in 2 pairs of 2, one at the bar and the other 2 later. She said she could not seat us at tables. Good, what about the bar? Oh wait yes, that can work. But only for two of us. THen she decided somehow that our four could come in BUT we would have to know exactly when we were coming in. THAT IS A RESERVATION!!! I don't think this place is as super busy as it is poorly managed. The folks I talked to who've eaten there seemed surprised because first it was not that good and two, it is never busy. They eat there as locals. [And I think two attempts at not being allowed to eat somewhere enables me to this opinion; they are rude and confused. Look at some of the Portland reviews I can share w you of a woman walking in to a teahouse and giving it 5 stars, or calling Midwest cafe for info and reviewing it. This is dining related.

hooray for ImageBot... a few good updates and six stars Rated 5 out of 5 stars
this and 'rehost image' make using imageshack a joy -- ever since the imageshack.us facelift killed dragndrop into form element :(
I am thrilled you have removed the em 'problematic code' :)
Please consider adding multiple image account profiles for easier grouping of images in ONE imageshack account, and for grouping MULTIPLE imageshack accounts... you already employ nice use of tabs
additionally please either support other image hosts directly or
built in a user extensible "extension" system for adding support for other image hosts
Rehost Image is merely that.. transload seen image to imageshack
Imagebot transloads, albeit without the intermediate option to rename, AND keeps a visible copy in the imagebot float (yes, I much prefer the float option)
I wish there was a GUI- or in extension option to export current image list... hacking prefs.js is not my favorite method.. though it is currently the only method... here again the need for profiles (groups) of images
^^ otherwise "exported" lists need to imported to an entirely new firefox profile to keep the image set alive with the occasional browser through to be sure they maintain a hit level. I don't know the minimum imageshack view so I load them in their orphan firefox profile about monthly
I am immedsely DELIGHTED with the CUSTOM copy template options -- this makes it easy to post one or more images to various flavors of forums
The only other lack I see is the need to select an array of images, and have the extension itself or another extension* resize DOWN to whatever inane maximum dimensions of a given draconian forum, and copy the duplicate image(s) code for forum posting
as is possible with Shunked Image Resizer
Instead of reinventing their wheel I propose your extension interact with their respective extension and 'transload' or upload as needed.
Also please add the facility to imageshack.us hosted image to
+ tag images
+ create imageshack albums
(assumes free imageshack registration)
thank you thank you!!

This isn't as good as I thought, it has a scent which is fine. The bottle is black and sleek. The shampoo lathers good for being sulfate free, but I can't say I notice anything different from when I use a drugstore shampoo or conditioner, in fact drugstore is much better and moisturizing. The shampoo is shampoo, nothing extraordinary it's not worth the 20 something dollars. I have fine but a lot of hair, which is frizzy, the conditioner doesn't moisturize. It just feels as you're putting a meaningless product in your hair.

I personally really enjoy using this shampoo. The smell is probably the part about this shampoo the most. It definitely has a very strong ginger smell to it, which I love since I am obsessed with all things ginger, but it might not be to everyone's taste.
This shampoo has a creamy texture, and lathers a LOT, even with a small amount, which is another thing I like about it. The bottle claims this is a sulfate-free shampoo, which leads me to wonder how it lathers so well. In any case, I also find this shampoo to be quite moisturizing, but it doesn't weight my hair down like most moisturizing shampoos do. I use it in conjunction with the awapuhi wild ginger mousse as well, which leaves the ginger scent in my hair all day. I don't use the conditioner every time though, since the keratin can cause damage when overused.
Overall, I do really enjoy using this shampoo, although I don't think I would purchase it all the time since it's a little pricey.

I really liked this shampoo. My sister brought me back a little hotel bottle from a Marriot she was staying in along with a little Detangler. These two together are like wow! magic!
left my hair super soft, moist, and healthy with shine. Loved it!
Reminded me of my hair when I was a kid-- before my teenage years when I started to experiment and cause serious damage!

Appearance: The product comes in black plastic squeeze tube. The shampoos is a creamy base verses a gel base. It does have a woodsy ginger scent that I find wonderful smelling. It maybe be a bit much for some though.
Cost: I bought the 8.5 oz bottle for around 20 dollars. It is bit pricey for the amount that you get. I found though that you don't need to use much as you think because it lathers up very nicely.
Wearability: For a shampoo I found that it lathers up wonderfully and cleans my hair without stripping it. For reference I have colored treated coarse asian hair. My hair is down to my lower back so I have found that I usually need to use a lot of product to get it fully clean. With this shampoo I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't need to increase the volume of product used to fully clean my hair.
Overall thoughts: While this a bit more on the pricey side for Shampoo I find that it is worth it. I also use the styling treatment oil along with this to futher enhance the wonderful smell of the product.

It is overpriced and did not perform any better than any of the drugstore shampoos, eg Garnier. Will not repurchase nor recommend. No benefits stated on the tube reflected to my hair condition. I take good care of my hair and wanted to revive and add moisture to it but this shampoo did nothing but what any other 5-6x cheaper shampoo did.

I used this shampoo many years ago, and I thought I remembered liking it. I recently got it as part of a gift set I bought, and I am hugely disappointed. I remember it being thicker, creamier, and more moisturizing. I also remember it smelling better. I don't know if my memory is just letting me down, or if they changed the product since way back then.
It feels nice as you lather, it lathers nicely. But my hair feels stripped as I rinse it out. And it leaves me hair with a strange combination of being dry and coarse feeling, while feeling weighed down and limp. Just a really bad feeling.
I would not buy this, ever. Really disappointed. The label says you can use it as a body wash, so maybe I will try for that instead of just throwing it away.
Edited to add: Nope, in the garbage it went. I did try it as a body wash, too drying. Tried it again on my hair, every time my hair is a limp, but dry mess. Hate it.

I was traveling at at Marriott for about 6 weeks. They had this shampoo there, and I fell in love with it. This product removes ALL buildup without drying out hair and cleanses really, really well as a daily shampoo, leaving a nice soft blow out. I can be heavy handed with gels and leave-ins, but this does a great job removing all product from my curly hair without over drying or over moisturizing.
Penny Pincher Tip: Sally's makes a perfect knock-off of this for $5 - called "Generic Value Product (GVP) Compare to Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Shampoo".
It is now included in my rotation of top 10 lifetime favorites that I rotate from time to time: Matrix Biolage Hydrating Shampoo, Trader Joe's Moisture, Phytospecific Vital Force, Kenra Moisturzing, Tresseme Keratin & VO5/Suave for clarifying.

MY shampoo for YEARS. I try everything but always come back to Awapuhi. My hair "grabs" product and everything seems to weigh it down except this shampoo. It's been around forever and Im terrified they will discontinue it.
I get compliments all the time on the smell of my hair

I like this really much. My scalp is dry and i also get dandruff easily from many shampoos. This doesn't irritate my scalp at all and doesn't cause dandruff. The scent is gentle. I like to try different shampoos and brands but i always go back to this one. i don't find this exactly moisturizing and i don't think that if your scalp is really very dry it would help but i'm sure it wouldn't irritate it more.

Masterworks Concert II inspired by Bible passage
By Janie Magruder GCU News Bureau Each year, as Dr. Juan Hernandez, director of Grand Canyon University's music department and assistant dean of its College of Fine Arts and Production, is planning the kind of music that vocalists and instrumentalists should perform at major concerts, he goes straight to the Bible. This year, in Philippians 4:8, Hernandez found his inspiration from the Apostle Paul: "Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — think about such things." Music that exists to do just that, in the praise and worship of God, will be performed at GCU's Masterworks Concert II, beginning at 7 p.m. Thursday at First Southern Baptist Church of Phoenix, 3100 W. Camelback Road, on the southeast side of campus. The free event will feature about 100 student performers in the Canyon Chorale, Canyon Singers and Critical Mass, in addition to faculty and student soloists, performing traditional choral repertory. They will be led by Hernandez and GCU vocal instructor Dr. Sheila Corley and accompanied by veteran pianist Mark Fearey. The feature work is English composer Benjamin Britten's "Rejoice […]READ MORE

New band, local churches highlight spring Chapel/theGathering
By Cooper Nelson GCU News Bureau Grand Canyon University will continue its fall Chapel/theGathering theme, "Making a Difference," in the spring semester with a new crop of pastors from West Valley churches scheduled to speak at the popular Monday morning service in GCU Arena. Chapel will remain at 11:15 a.m., with message-board announcements beginning at 11. Students and staff will hear messages from pastors from Fellowship Church, Catalyst Church, New City Church and Bethany Bible Church of Phoenix, along with Faith Bible Church and Church of the Cross of Glendale and Gateway Church of Scottsdale. Pastors from East Valley parishes, including The Grove Church and Redemption Church, also will be on campus next semester. GCU's Director of Spiritual Life Danielle Rinnier said a conscious effort was made to bring in pastors from churches near campus to encourage students to join local church communities and expand their worship habits. "We know Chapel isn't a church service and we really want students to get involved with local churches," Rinnier said. "We really want to allow students to hear the message from pastors of great local churches so they will hopefully reach out and try these churches and find a good fit." Jared Ulrich, worship coordinator, held freshman-only auditions in […]READ MORE

Five Virginia pals bring all-star potential to rugby team
By Cooper Nelson GCU News Bureau Grand Canyon University freshmen rugby players Ethan Hall, Darien Pickett, Kris Sheckels, Joshua Ransom and Austin LaGow became friends at an all-star football camp in the eighth grade. As five of the best football players in Virginia, they each decided to attend West Potomac High in Alexandria – a city six miles south of Washington – to help create a "football dynasty." Injuries derailed their freshman season, so LaGow and Pickett, who grew up playing rugby, helped start the Fort Hunt Warriors, a rugby club team associated with their high school. They won a state championship as sophomores and encouraged Ransom, Sheckels and Hall to join the team their junior year. After advancing to three consecutive state playoff appearances and winning a second state championship last year, Pickett, Sheckels and Ransom wanted to play rugby together in college. The trio met GCU rugby coach Ryan Kelly at last summer's all-star camp and committed to GCU. The three standouts hoped to bring the same "dynasty" they created in eighth grade to GCU and approached LaGow, a rugby Stars and Stripes All-American, and Hall, who missed being an All-American due to injury, to join the team.

Comment: Re:What's the voltage? (Score 2) 14
For mobile applications, our prototypical controller uses a small driver IC (Model Durel D356B, sine wave, 220 Vpp, 230Hz to 390Hz). This driver IC generates the high-voltage AC signal from a 1.0-7.0V DC power source. If a higher luminance is required, a stronger 0-12.0V driver IC with a slightly bigger footprint can be used (Model Sparkfun DC12V10M, sine wave, 220Vpp, 800Hz to 3.5KHz). A microcontroller (ATmega2560) triggers optocouplers (MOC3063) for multiplexing the high-voltage signal between display pins.

Strong and simple statements Oct 30, 2011
by Steve B
I believe it is very hard to captivate over such a subject. S.Suzuki did it. I do not always get it but his statements makes often the point. Great achievement by the team to collect his talks and put it as proses.
As a zen beginner I found it like a motivating speech. I found the chapters not well defined. It is a bit confusing. But again, it is not a book written by S.Suzuki but a collection of his speeches. So, some clarity is missing but great feelings.
4 stars.

Bazaar items?
I'm trying to find ideas that are relatively fast to sew for bazaar items. Been eons since I've even been to one so no idea what is popular today. Any help?
shopping bags? (to use at the store instead of those plastic ones) - tote bags, wallet, checkbook cover, aprons w/matching potholder, placemats w/matching napkins, table runner, tree skirt....think of the kind of things someone would purchase for a Christmas gift, especially if done in seasonal fabric if purchasing for personal use.
We used to do a big craft show each year and found the items worth $5.00 to $10.00 sold really well. Lots of people came each ear to buy teacher's gifts and such. I made homemade gift tags and I could have sold double what I made. I made 25 of the cloth jewelry bags. If you have a serger these make up fast. Other items were glass cases, casserole carriers, any type of angel or snowman sold like crazy. I made snowmen napkin rings and they were a big hit. I boxed them up with eight in a box. I took 50 orders for them.. Doll clothes and blankets..There were 15 of us ladies and we made $10,000 in 2 days..
Just have fun..

Design this kitchen- starting planning process over
I have asked for help with a design layout before, but it was off of plans that I got from Home Depot. I want to start again fresh, with a somewhat blank slate since I want to have a more cohesive kitchen design and I know this group can give me better ideas.
The house is a 1970's ranch, but with some nice features like cathedral ceilings in the living/dining room and a floor to ceiling stone fireplace in the living room. Outside is cement board vertical wood look siding.
We are a family of 4 that cooks most of our meals, but not gourmet by any means. We are vegetarian. I love to bake, but try not to very often since I am trying to lose weight. We have lots of gadgets that we use often- microwave is a must, use breadmaker to make most of our bread, have Cuisinart food processor, KA mixer, steamer, waffle maker, and blender are all regularly used. Most are currently on a cart at the end of a counter run. I am ok with getting them in and out, although breadmaker would be nice to have out somewhere.
Priority for me is function over form. I would love to have a place for everything, which helps me to put things away. Kitchen is also laundry area, bifold doors currently close off washer/dryer and pantry area. The dog is fed in the dining room, but the food is kept in the kitchen.
Budget is low to mid? Maybe around $15,000. Haven't got this nailed down yet. We will get new appliances, but not high end ones. So standard 30" range, etc. Wood floor will stay. Not looking to make structural changes or change around where appliances are- but could be convinced if it really improves function and is not a budget buster. We are on a slab so I think that would be cost prohibitive. I would like to move the dishwasher though if possible, it is in a horrible place now right across from the fridge- maybe to the other side of the sink?
Other thoughts- I am really perplexed about how to use the side of the kitchen with the bay window and laundry area. We had a round table there at one time and I am not interested in going back to an eat in kitchen- then the dining room table becomes a horizontal clutter catcher. Plus eating out of the mess of the kitchen is more relaxing. Right now I have some chairs, and a cabinet that is basically our command center, but it doesn't feel like an integrated kitchen. Feel I am looking for is light and bright, warm and homey, relaxing and fun. Basically a family home kitchen, not a showroom.
Here is my kitchen dimensions, mostly to scale:
Here is the view down the galley towards the dining room:
Here is the view to the opposite end of the room:
Some more photos-
View of doorway into family room:
View of laundry/pantry closet:
View of bay window:
The window faces west. So blinding evening sun in the eyes- when we ate here we would often have to pull the shades to eat at dinner.
I cannot keep two tables clean of clutter. When we had the dining table and the round kitchen table, one was full of stuff- whichever one we were not eating at. Finally got rid of the round kitchen table completely when I was tired of it looking bad all the time.
We have the drying rack out pretty often- lots of our clothes (almost all of my husband's) have to be hang dried. I would love to do something different with that- have something in the closet area or pull down from the wall or something else. Also, our washer and drier are stackable. I have toyed with stacking them in the closet and doing something different with the shelving which is nothing fancy right now.
I don't have a comprehensive plan, but I think totally YES stack the washer and dryer, take out the shelves, and put in a pull-out drying rack like the one linked below inside the closet. Then, where the stand-alone tall cabinet is, put in a better pantry cabinet space there. Maybe something sort of hutch-y that has counter space? You can store the big appliances below and bring them out onto the counter to use them. I will go look for a picture of what I'm talking about...
Here is a link that might be useful: pull-out drying rack
This is the general idea of what I might put down at the end near the bay window and laundry area. See how there is an outlet right there next to the counter? You could store appliances in the lower cabinets and use them right there if you wanted. Especially something like a bread maker where you will be leaving it out and letting it do its thing for a while.
Here is a link that might be useful:
My first thought also was to stack the W/D.
Maybe on that end wall you could have a shallow food pantry... like one or two cans deep (using space between the studs for extra depth?). Kind of like this one and the link to the thread is below.
Here is a link that might be useful: between the studs pantry thread
YES, the hutch-y thing is what I was thinking, too. Totally maximize that space on that wall.
Also, I think you could gain some efficiency by using sliding doors instead of bifold, then you are not having to reach around them to get at things against a side wall.
I cannot read the dimensions on either side of the doorway to the dining room...and how wide is that doorway?
P.S., do you have a gas range or electric?
This post was edited by greenhaven on Mon, Apr 21, 14 at 14:24
Just a quick work-up, since I agree with the others about the rest of the space; stack the washer and dryer, a large, hutch-y piece of furniture on and in which you can store appliances, good shelving in the laundry closet.
What about swapping the fridge to the other side of the room (as shown below) and building a ceiling-height pantry on the range wall? Then it would not matter which side of the sink the DW is on, except that to move it to the right of the sink (as shown) does put it across from the range.
The rest is simply a matter of plugging in the right size and style cabinets.
The dimensions from wall to dining room doorway are about 33.5 inches on each side. The doorway itself is 35.5 inches.
Greenhaven- thanks so much for your mock up. I have thought about switching the fridge, but have two concerns. First, it would block light from the bay window and the galley part of the kitchen is very dark already so I worry it will be too dark without that light. And second we do not currently have an icemaker, but I wanted to get one in a new fridge, so it would not just be moving electric but a water line which I thought would be painful? There is a water line (capped off) by the current fridge placement.
The range is electric. I am assuming the new one will be too. I do have natural gas in the house for other things- is it expensive to get another line for a range? I am on a slab so I thought that changing around utilities was difficult and expensive. I would love gas burners rather than electric.
It was a breeze to change our electric to natural gas but we already had it to the furnace and we had a basement. Slabs do complicate things for sure! The best thing to do is a get a quote, then you can know for sure.
You are right about the fridge blocking light, I have a similar problem here at my house. I did just paint all my cabinets white-ish and that made a huge difference in the feel of the kitchen. Are you planning light cabinets?
As for the water line, I doubt it would be a big or complicated deal to run a water line from your sink, which is what a lot of people do anyway. You are still left with the issue of the light.
What is the worst thing about having the DW across from the fridge? It seems your two logical choices are across from the fridge or from the range, and I am not sure which is worse.
At any rate, if you keep your electric range it is probablynot difficult to shift it to the left or right toavoid being directly across from the DW.
Hmmm...family of four. I think I would want some seating in the kitchen, but I can see using the dining room table for all main meals.
What about a couple of stools for 'helpers' and a small table (with window seat) for using lap tops, cup of coffee, quick sandwich, etc?
Could you swap the fridge and range? It looks like you have an electric range...so at most, a swap of electrical outlets. If so...that would give you the ability to put the fridge closer to the dining room and have the range closer to the small prep peninsula. Mostly for seating, 'helpers' decorating cookies (when not on the diet!) and cutting up veggies.
Just another idea :)
lavender lass- I really like your ideas! I'm going to have to play with that idea of moving the fridge. It would actually solve a few problems. Having the tall things on that part of the kitchen would not be blocking any natural light and would make it possible to have an over the fridge cabinet for storing trays that I was going to bypass because I did not want to have the "wall of wood" on the far side of the fridge and also did not want to block off the good natural light on that side of the room (the family room has the best light and the bay window second best in the whole house.)
And I love the two seat peninsula!
I had been thinking that moving the dishwasher to the right of the sink would move the dish area to that side of the kitchen, next to the dining room. And keep clean and dirty dishes in that area. But then we would be right across from the fridge again, which doesn't work well. Husband makes the kids' lunches while they are putting the dishes away often. So maybe that should stay on the left of the sink. The other thing is that I wanted to move the dishes to drawers, which might not be possible with the dishwasher/peninsula option.
I am so glad to be getting help to think outside of the box.
I'm glad you like it! :)
With the dishwasher on the left...you would have the peninsula to help buffer the dishwasher being open...and there's less chance the oven will be open as much as the fridge!
Also, if sandwiches are made on the right side of the kitchen...then that area is close to the fridge.
Personally, I like upper cabinet storage for dishes and lower for pots and pans...but lots of people do like dishes in drawers. If it were me, I'd probably have cups and glasses in glass uppers to right of sink and a plate rack above the dishwasher...maybe with a few mugs below.
That would be such a nice way to store the plates (for me) with easy access to the range. I often serve the food already on the plates...and I wish I had mine closer to my range!
This post was edited by lavender_lass on Mon, Apr 21, 14 at 23:31
Do you mean a plate rack instead of an upper on the left side of the sink? Or below the upper? Do you have any pictures that can help me visualize?
I do serve up my plates in the kitchen. Right now plates are in a lower cabinet (so that the kids can empty the dishwasher) to the right of the range. And it is very convenient. I had not thought about that functionality about the kitchen before. I was just thinking the dishes should be close to the dining area. But close to the range may actually be more practical.
I am one of those who likes having the dishes in a lower cabinet, especially if the kids are going to set the table and empty the dishwasher. Do consider making that a drawer rather than a cabinet, and if you do, consider using extra-heavy duty glides on that one drawer. In my one 36" drawer, I can easily (with plenty of room to spare), fit 10 dinner plates, 10 salad plates, 10 cereal bowls, 10 soup bowls, my kitchen scale, and various other assorted bowls. I keep them in the middle drawer in the stack -- very convenient both from an access and an ergonomic standpoint (I do keep my glasses and cups in an upper cabinet above the dishwasher and between the sink and refrigerator).
Next Questions:
If I go with LavenderLass' design, which I think that I am, I then have two follow on questions:
1. What type of fridge? I definitely want a freezer on bottom model. But french door or single door? And what about the different depths?
2. How would the peninsula work? Meaning would there be cabinets there with an overhang on the side with the stools? Or?
I have a galley too, with laundry off the kitchen, and love the idea of a peninsula. But it's not clear to me that it works well as suggested above - based on your previous posts, you have about 100" in width for the kitchen, right? If you have a 48" wide peninsula (seating for 2) on one side and then a regular depth cabinet on the other (25" including overhang), you've created a chokepoint that is just over 2 feet wide.
If my reading of your diagram/dimensions or my math is wrong, forget this point! If not, consider how you use the space. From my read of that last diagram, every time you opened the oven door you would block access to either end of the kitchen. That's not fun (and not the safest thing either if you have lunatic kids like mine.)
I'm biased - we just spent a bunch and possibly even reduced our counterspace all for the primary purpose of eliminating that kind of choke point. If you don't get a lot of traffic through the kitchen, then it's probably not a big deal. But I can say that having moved from 33" wide openings at either end to a 48"+ aisle for the whole galley, it feels a thousand times bigger (even though it's really not!) Try mocking up the space with boxes or blue tape and see how it feels.
smalloldhouse- thanks for the input. I will definitely check out the dimensions on whether we can do the peninsula or not. Unfortunately we can't make the galley any wider, as we are not going to tear down/move the load bearing wall. Luckily the kitchen is at the back corner of the house, so it doesn't have to be a main passageway- although it is used often.
Regardless of the peninsula- I am really excited about the idea of moving the fridge. Looking for input on what type of fridge might work best...
How big a fridge do you want? When I remodeled last summer, I really wanted a single door, freezer on the bottom, but it seemed that they were all two small. I'd never used a french door, and wasn't sure I'd like it. I felt like I would always be reaching around a door.
In the end I chose size over convenience - I got a FD fridge, larger than any single door I could find. We've used it for a year, and I really do love it. Maybe it's just because we went from an old single door, top freezer, and it's so nice to have everything closer to eye level (especially for the tall men in the house).
And yes, I have to reach around the door a lot. The fridge is at the end of a cabinet run, so we put groceries on the counter, and have to go around the door to put them in the fridge, but it's not a huge deal. The convenience of the bottom freezer makes up for it.
We're pretty good at keeping track of what is on which side, so most of the time we only have to open one door, which is nice.
annkh- you are hitting the nail on the head with my concerns with the FD. I think I might be annoyed to always be reaching around the door. I'm not sure about size. Right now we have a small $400ish fridge that we bought when we had to for a rental that didn't come with it's own fridge and it is mostly ok size wise. Very occasionally I wish we had more room. I will have to check and see how many cubic feet it is.
Thanks for your input.
Jess, another thing to consider - my Mom has a bottom freezer, but it has a door instead of a drawer. One has to just about sit on the floor to find things in the freezer.
Ours has a drawer, and it is SO much more convenient! I was afraid stuff would get lost in the bottom - like a chest freezer - but so far that hasn't happened.
