Kitchen renovation project

Newer full sized dishwasher may use 4 gallons, also they have heating element built in, so it is greener than hand-washing.

That is b/c most people keep the water running the whole time. I know I do not use 4 gallons of water to wash my dishes. My sink is not very deep and the faucet has low flow . My shower is a low flow too.

I think you are single - not much issue.

I live in house with family - hand washing is extremely wasteful and very time consuming, so dishwasher is best for family.

If I'm single, I will take small dishwasher.
 
Well, here are some of the final photos of the project:

The first picture is beautiful!!! Quality-wise and the kitchen of course. Very nice! I have a black fridge just like that. I think black is nice color, doesn't show dirt too much compared to white. What is the last picture of? Bet you are eager to start using it real soon!

Oh yes I see it now. I couldn't make it out before. Wooden floors are nice. It won't feel as cold as tiles or cement.

The cabinets in photos # 2 , are they're going to put in just like that? I hope not. You'll have a hard time opening the drawers as they're so close to the other cabinet .

It looks very nice. But . . . as several of us have questioned can you get in the drawers that are next to the range (also known as a stove)? Also the doors to the cabinet under the sink; especially the one at the corner.

What does being single have with letting the water while washing dishes???
My ex husband did that and I told him it was very wasteful . You must be a very a slow dish washer. I had to wash dishes for my clients and one woman had a huge party the night before and there pots and pans too, my client could not believe how fast I got everything wash.

That, and the floors needed a major upgrade.

Oh wow, that's a lot for small kitchen.

Is it hard to share the kitchen with other people?

Not really. Each of us cook at different times, which makes it a lot easier to get things done.

That, and my own fridge for my room. However, I already have a electric fryer, so I'm good there. :D

But I still need to buy a few more small kitchen stuff for my room, so I CAN make a mini kitchen-- like a mini stove and a mini freezer. Wouldn't hurt.

Already did. The electric fryer is legal. And they have been encouraging me to get my own fridge, and by the stroke of luck, I found this:

Looks like a few good deals. I'll have to ask if those are still there for March 31st.
