BusBuilding

Under construction for another few days as I’m rearchitecting and migrating from an existing site, which was hosted on Matt’s multi-user WordPress.com, (a great place to establish your WordPress chops) to this new one, powered by the ‘grownup’ WordPress. (about a million times more complicated, but worth it!)

Outside the commercial transportation industry many people don’t know that diesel engines commonly last 300,000 - 400,000 miles before getting a little tired.

Had I known about this when designing my galley, I might have strongly considered it. Now that I have a full-size sink I’m glad I did it that way; and like most, I am using propane rather than an electric cooktop. But for those who want to go all-electric and use as little space as possible for the fundamentals, this Kohler model might be well worth considering.

Finding things like this is why I get so frustrated sourcing components. There’s lots of great stuff out there, but you just ain’t gonna find it at the local big-box store. You have to do lots of looking for just-the-right-thing if you want just-what-you-want.
