Jeremy asked:


I’m looking to buy a house and some of the houses have old looking kitchens. I can’t afford to totally remodel the kitchen, but refacing is a possibility. What kind of results would I get with this, and about how much does it cost for an average size kitchen?

My kitchen is 25 years old. If I can only replace one thing per month, should I begin with an energy star refrigerator? Do you replace the floor before or after the refrigerator? Would the dishwasher be the next appliance in order of energy savings? Or the lighting? And then the stove? Would the cabinet work be done before or after the lighting? Should I prioritize aquiring an energy efficient washer & dryer? My intent is to save energy and improve safety (the stove) and have peace of mind about the appearance of the kitchen.
Thank you all for your answers. Earthwoman, thanks for mentioning possible wiring upgrade and drain replacement. Since this will be a LOW budget project, I like the idea of asking the store to help with a plan, too. Each of you have helped me.

We want to collect food scraps in the kitchen for composting in the yard. What is the best solution for collecting the food waste so that you can periodically take it out? We don’t want something stinky or icky that might attract bugs. Are there any good products? Thanks!

The other morning I noticed a large puddle of water coming out from under my washer. This puddle appeared after I heard a gurgling sound. Last night I was in the kitchen washing the dishes and was running the washer at the same time, when the wash cycle turned over to the rinse cycle and the water was draining from my washer, it began to bubble up out of my kitchen sink! And it was dirty water too…it looked like stuff was floating in it, like the pipes are dirty inside. Why did this happen? It happened again this morning, that when the wash cycle turns over into the rinse, and the rinse cycle turns over into spin cycle, the water bubbles up out of the kitchen sink. The laundry room is inside the bathroom, which is right next to the kitchen. I imagine all of the pipes are connected somehow. My husband thinks the drain leading from the washer is clogged and told me to pour Draino into it. I do not think that is the answer. Thanks for your help!
Good point about the cold weather. I live in the northeast, and we have had several consecutive days where the temperatures have been in the teens and twenties during the day, then in the single digits at night. Maybe that has something to do with it?

I am renting so I cannot permanently do anything.. The floor is old and has deep scratches in alot of places its old rolled out kitchen flooring. Since i dont want to cut out, I would like to do the middle of floor and leave a border of old floor.
Any suggestions would help, I don’t have alot of money, but willing to put enough money into it to make it decent to live. Also what do people think about area rugs in kitchen?

Patti asked:


We own the house which is only 4 yrs old. We are renting it. We do not want to carpet it as the renter (a guy) is not the cleanest. Two tiles have been cracked and replaced using paper underneath. That did not work. The laundry room across to the kitchen is cracked. It is not showing a ***** on the wood laminate floor in between the laundry room and the kitchen. I do not want to use carpet or wood in the kitchen. What should we use that won’t ***** again. Is there something out there that would be good to use and not *****?

I have an idea for remodeling parts of my home. I want to move t he kitchen to a room adjacent to the livingroom and the dinning room, then open to two rooms to the kitchen. Where the kitchen is now will become a master suite I think. But the kitchen will become much smaller. How do you think this would affect my property value?

I have a small kitchen and it seems like all my little kitchen gadgets (measuring cups,cookie cutters etc.) are everywhere. The drawers won’t close or they won’t open. Any suggestions about organizing my kitchen are welcome.
