Almost but not quite a carpeted counter...also not a kitchen.  But then I also found this, which would be fine for a backsplash but is awful for the counter.

Jaded Burnout posted:I’m wondering if the same might be true of cookers since my current plan is an expensive range master, but at first glance it appears to not be the case. Screw going commercial grade- I'm jealous of consumer ranges in the UK.  Just look at that! Tall convection oven sized perfectly for 9x13 pans, broiler right at waist height, and a door mounted roasting pan? It's all so convenient!

Aga are better known for their cast iron heat storage cookers which are on 24/7, is that one of those or have they branched out? My current front runner is this, but at the moment I'm not so sure. Edit: it looks like the tall right hand oven is a common design on these ranges if you're going for the 90cm models, the 110s have a second full oven and storage drawer instead.

Just a point from having personally tested dozens of those ranges in a laboratory seeing: You're still better off piecing together a set of Domino hobs and a pair of cheap multi function electric ovens. You'll have to work to make it look how you want but the cost will be lower or similar, it'll be easier to maintain or repair and actual functionality will be far better. That's my professional opinion.

Like my wife you seem to have a knack for finding the most expensive version of anything. An induction hob and teppanyaki plate would be 25%ish of that price and easier to clean and more versatile.

Yeah, I've seen this type of oven from Leisure and Smeg too, I just couldn't find a good pic of the Rangemaster one with the doors open. I'm jealous of the tall oven specifically, but the 110 you've linked is really gorgeous. US ranges all look so appliancey. UK makers have such a lovely variation on design. If I want a cooker that looks era-appropriate to my kitchen the only good option in the states is to drop biiig bucks on restoring an actual antique. cakesmith handyman posted:You're still better off piecing together a set of Domino hobs and a pair of cheap multi function electric ovens.

whalesteak posted:I'm jealous of the tall oven specifically Would you not encounter issues with heat distribution? I know they're fan ovens but I can't imagine all those chikans cooking at the same rate. whalesteak posted:US ranges all look so appliancey. UK makers have such a lovely variation on design.

This is true of ranges but they're the exception unfortunately, they're high end almost by definition here. Any normal person oven will be a stainless steel square with a window in front.

Maybe I'm being optimistic about the capabilities of the fan oven. I didn't read reviews since none of these were affordable to me. I just had visions of neat stacks of baked goods for church/kids events, roasting trays of veg all at once for Sunday night meal prep and not having to juggle sides when the in-laws come over for Friday dinner.

whalesteak posted:That is 100% the best and most logical solution. But the rangemasters are so pretty. I'm am engineer, sorry, my Vernier doesn't appear to have this "pretty" marked on it anywhere.  Also if you want to batch cook the best is either 2 identical fan ovens side by side or a 90cm single fan oven. 60cm wide cookie trays X 3 shelves cakesmith handyman fucked around with this message at 13:30 on Jun 24, 2018 |

Keeping pretty much any psittacine in “normal” captive conditions is animal cruelty- to say nothing of a Blue Danube-themed coke orgy hot tub room, complete with lebensborn cabana wards. For the most part, parrots want to be in gigantic family flocks with miles-wide territories. A lot of the behavior we associate with pet parrots is them literally going crazy.

There's a serious occult sacrifice vibe to this whole thing. Maybe the macaws are inhabititated by chittering elder Gods that drive mortal men to mad acts like human sacrifice and carpeted master baths.

Hey my dudes, can I please get a quick sanity check on this redesign? Before:  After:  My bathroom is extremely small (just a hair over 5' x 7') and the existing design is a huge pain: the bath is a mangey old 'jacuzzi' bath that'd never been cleaned by the previous owners so we just shower in it, and has a wider area for showering which means the door too the room can't open fully. Additionally, a huge sink overhangs the bath, and the old airing cupboard (with a new combi boiler we put in) is large but entirely under used. My goal was to make the room less claustrophobic. I have flipped the bath end-on-end to give some floorspace by the doorway, with a small space to stow laundry/towels and a towel-rail. We inherited an anemic electric shower (for no discernable reason) so will replace that with a rainfall shower head mounted in the roof cavity, and a filler outlet in the bath itself, so no visible taps. Additionally, rebuilding the boiler cupboard at a much shallower depth so a low profile sink can be mounted on a cupboard in the alcove. Access to the boiler will be via a hinged mirror above the sink, and access to the pipework/valves underneath via the rear of the cupboard. Of course, changing materials is in scope but for the purposes of the illustration I've left as-is. Due to the size of the space we're thinking of keeping it light, but probably more white than the beige and brown tiles it currently is. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated (the rest of the house is in a craftsman style but we're not wedded to that). My only real doubts are around the sink configuration - it would be an option to put it into the space vacated by the bath but I think that's less clean and I'd be losing floorspace, and the gully created by the bath screen and wall towards the sink (maybe too claustrophobic?). Thoughts?

I like it. Putting the sink away from the door makes sense. You'll spend a lot of time there brushing teeth and popping zits, it will be good to not have the door banging your as. Maybe a second accessway to the boiler through an adjacent room?
