Washer/Dryer for Apartment
My husband and I are beginning to investigate washer/ dryer units for our apartment. We need something relatively quiet as we are on the 2nd floor of a building and affordable. Would appreciate recommendations. (We are looking at 27″ units not 24″).

Living Under a Heavy Walker
We just moved into an apt. that was vacant for 8 yrs and although the people above us are awesome they walk like a bunch of elephants. When we moved in they said if there is anything that is annoying our music, etc. let us know b/c the apt. below us has been vacant for so long. Anyway, yesterday I was napping and thier walking woke me up! So, here’s the question… (and yes, I know we live in NYC but we are gonna live below these people a long time). Do we say something? If so, how? Again they are super nice people (with no kids if that matters). I’m just not sure how to bring it up… email, conversation or let it go?

in need of old sink!
We are renovating our pre-war apt. and need a 1930′s sink like the one pictured. Specifically it must be on 2 metal legs (a pedestal will not work b/c of the drain location). Anyone out there have any ideas about where to find one (and quickly? We are willing to get it sprayed.

Floor Sander Recommendation
I want to highly recommend our floor guy, Hugo. We bought an apartment with huge issues including a beautiful kitchen floor covered with 3 layers of glue from old linoleum. He painstakely got our floors into beautiful condition staying on time and budget (although there were some stains in our BR and if we wanted to cover them we would of had to pay more for the staining process). My husband also used him for a commercial job and he was just as good.

Width for Counter Top
We are trying to decide on counter tops for a new kitchen. We are looking at couple different types of granite and were told the standard witdth is 1.25 inch. It seems awfully thick to me. We heard the old standard was 0.75 which seems just fine. (It is a small kitchen and I am worried the new standard thickness will look very heavy). Any suggestion with places to go that will adjust thickness and do fabrication/ install etc.? Or any insight on just keeping my trap shut and sticking w the standard?
Thanks!

Range Suggestions (Part 2)
We are renovating a kitchen and have begun looking at ranges. From the suggestions given to me on a previous post we have looked at the bluestar, wolf, viking, etc. We LOVE the wolf but just aren’t sure if we’d really need it. Does anyone have any suggestions for a step or two down that they really like? We saw an electrolux without all the eletrical components and the GE cafe. Also, we are in an apt. and although it is a bigger kitchen (10×20) we would have a duct-less hood. Please help, we have to order soon!

Range Suggestions
We are thinking of renovating our kitchen and want suggestions on ranges. We cook many evenings and will spend a bit. Our only spec is it must be 30″ as the kitchen is not that big. We have heard viking are good but break often and GE monogram are nice. Any tips out there?
