I have to say, I hate where most laundry rooms end up. In most places, they are either in the basement, or in the kitchen, where you have to drag all your dirty laundry through the entire house to get there. Why aren't more of them close to where most of the dirty laundry accumulates, ie, the BEDROOMS!??

That's where they're putting them now. Ours is in the basement. Even worse, you have to go to the garage to go to our basement. Talk about all the way through the house.

So many little things we didn't think of. Like the fact that we have cove ceilings and it would look Jatravartid to go to a squared-off ceiling in the addition. BUT that's a big extra and involves plastering because it's not done anymore.

I googled coved ceiling kits and got all these.

Wow.

I actually have a binder with a list of the things that annoy me and all the things I've liked for all the houses I've lived in. The ideal will be to build my own house and address all the stupidities.

The other big issue for me is kitchen storage. I want 2 pantries--one for food, one for equipment. Then countertops are clear unless something is in use.

New house...laundry room is in between the garage and the kitchen, main floor. Bedrooms are on the second floor. Sigh. It's the best of all we saw, though.

We remodeled the kitchen nine years ago. The theme was easy clean. The cupboard doors are flat, easy to wipe down, no little indents or curlicues. The counters and sink are Corian. Wipe from one end to the other. A garage for the toaster and coffeepot. Smooth cooktop. Formica laminate flooring (clean with damp mop) (not a hardwood look, I don't like hardwood, real or otherwise).

I'm outta here.

Got my Big o' Cosmos today!



Two flying monkeys (I got extras now!), a small container of tea, a dyeable purse, a handheld breast pump, a non-functioning wireless headset, and aquaglobes!

The monkeys and globes are worth the $8.

Nice!!! Mine arrives on Friday.

Dname - Watson presses the physical buzzer just like the guys and he's supposed to get the question at the same time. I don't get the show, but I saw the Nova at least twice. It's actually quite impressive when you see how far it has come.

No1 - my favorite song, thanks!

We used to go to parade of homes for years and years and my Mom and grandma highlighted all the things they liked and all the things they hated. Then used those to design the houses they live in now.

But now I got all these extra flame monkeys.

You could always donate to the pump to an emergency pregnancy center, or women's center. Shoot, I wonder if the fire department takes those for people who lose their houses? I don't know, I'm sure donating it would be the way to go though, if your family is maxed out.
(personally I really needed one on Saturday, but both of mine were at home and that was 45 mins away, maybe I should keep on in the car?)

Might check the Big o' Cosmos thread, there seems to be a lot of those pumps going around, I'm sure someone has a good idea by now.

I will most likely donate it, since we'll never need one- we gave our industrial-size one away long ago.

Yeah, seems everyone got a lot of the same things- everything in my box of cotton with the exception of the headphones was in other bags. However, upon further inspection, I did get the wireless headphones to work, but they're really finicky- Supposedly it transmits to 100 feet, but I only get around 10 feet before it statics out. So it's an ok headset for FM- comes with a built in tuner, but not really gonna be something I use a lot.

Maybe you can cut them up for the boys to use for circuitry experiments or something

I opened it up thinking there was something to fix- it's a little LED light that doesn't work, a little circuit board and a wire that is supposed to be an antenna.

I'll prolly end up giving them the headset and tell them to use it as a radio. If they destroy it, so be it.
