... and it saves money compared to electric. I was stunned a few years ago when a friend was installing a $5000 model in his new house. I asked if it was made of gold.We need seperate human-only games for MP/PBEM that dont include the over-simplifications required to have a good AI

update.
I went dual-fuel on the stove. Gas range, electric convection oven. It's very pretty.
I've chosen recessed lighting/pot lights for the kitchen instead of the track lights. I've also selected all of my appliances, exterior stone, exterior colours (trim, siding), lighting, and cabinets.
We're still deciding between two cabinet styles and two cabinet colours. The SO wants something "light" for the cabinets, which alters our options a bit.
Styles (not taking into account color) are below. We're leaning towards the first/top option. Keep in mind the sample doors are small -- the trim size is the same (3") no matter the cabinet size, but we've got 41" cabinets so there will be much larger space open in the middle.
Colours. We're leaning towards the one on the left ("Cognac on Maple").
Handles. We're getting these.
Any comments by the design-y people would be appreciated. Can still change these.
Next week we bring our wood sample to the granite place to select the granite/quartz counters, then take the cabinet & granite samples to the hardwood place to pick the hardwood, then take the cabinet & granite & hardwood samples to the interior design place to pick tile, backsplash, blinds, carpet, etc."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate.

We're not building a house but we did recently buy new hard wood floors which are supposed to be installed over a two day period this weekend. I wanted to go with some light colored hard wood but she has decided on Walnut wood with a dark cherry stain finish and it has been explained to me that while my clueless ideas in home decor are endearing my input should be confined to helping her pick between stuff she's already decided she likes and to swipe the credit card at the appropriate times. I find this mildly annoying but concede she's much better at decorating than I will ever be. Besides, for all the women's lib talk women themselves still consider the home to be their domain.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.

The silver/gray handles are meant to match all the stainless steel fronts on the appliances.
We switched out our old copper handles to a silver gray after upgrading our appliances.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple
