shall i wait to post it to give you guys a chance to come up with solution ?Not if you're waiting for an answer from me-mouser (April 07, 2010, 03:01 PM)
If i had an extra $3,000 i could use a separate cooktop and wall oven like so: (see attachment in previous post)In my ever so humble opinion, one of the best investments you can make is in improving the quality of life. If you plan on staying where you are for a while it might be well worth the extra cost. Solves your wall cupboard issue, the 'island' stability issue, and warms those chilly feet of yours.
in many ways that seems to be the best of all worlds, albeit the most expensive one by a wide margin.-mouser (April 06, 2010, 06:53 PM)
its worse in that the whole point of this change is to open up the two rooms and now it would be harder to talk with dining room people from the new stove position compared to old.Yebbut, you have to consider your guests! They might prefer you to shut the heck up and get on with the cooking!-mouser (April 06, 2010, 06:36 PM)
Though I do like to run my computer with (relatively) few applications installed these days.Thank you for sharing that, it qualifies as humorous post of the day!-Darwin (April 06, 2010, 04:02 PM)
the area above the stove's "old" location is going to be completely empty with no cabinets, and needs to remain that way for visual flow.. so it's a huge waste not to have the oven in it's original location..There are good arguments and counter-arguments(-mouser (April 06, 2010, 09:49 AM)
) for either alternative. Given the right drill bits I still don't see that it would be a big problem to anchor to the floor. The correct base would probably let you get away without fixing to the wall, though it shouldn't be hard to find out what's where behind the wall. a 1929 plaster and metal lathe building with steel girdersI don't see the problem — a good oxy-acetylene torch, a couple of sledge-hammers… you'll be able to look down on your neighbors in no time!
I also really like those two big cabinets that are there..With the first layout, I really don't think you'd have much trouble contriving a stable base for the 'half-wall' cabinet.
This one keeps the half wall island idea but solves the stability thing because its attached to other cabinet:Presumably you'd make the top of the half-wall cabinet and the adjacent cabinet as one piece. That and a decent floor anchor would provide all the stability you need (well, for the furnishings, at least
).I tried it in every position (ie bottom, top, left and right of the desktop) and all menus opened where they were clicked.-Darwin (April 02, 2010, 11:00 AM)

I wonder when the USB 2.0 dumping will start?I think it already has begun. The prices for drives up to 2Tb seem remarkably low at some of the big-box stores.-MilesAhead (April 01, 2010, 04:15 PM)
morons, all of you
If you delete a file with the extension .msi you cannot remove that program later on, because the msi contains the uninstaller.
I hope not - That'll make the bull real mad ... Then What'll I Do...Try for the udder one?
Guess I'll just half to get blind drunk and a dart board to figure this one out.
you were using old version weren't you..

if I click on one of the four Linkman icons on Firefox when Linkman isn't open, clicking on any of these icons will also automatically open Linkman.Thanks for mentioning this, I was still on 7.9.0.0 and just updated. Much nicer behaviour from my point of view.-cyberdiva (March 23, 2010, 11:31 AM)
