Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Kitchen Tile & Wine Cooler

It was time to get back to working on the tile for the kitchen and then finish up the marble tile for the rest of the first floor area. Started after Christmas and progress is slow as I keep adding things as I work. The next 3 pics are before starting with the tile.






The next three pics are of the progress as of this morning. I decided to add the grantie tile for the toe kick area of the cabinets and as a base trim around the island. Since the counter tops and all of the solarium is of the same granite, seems like this will help make the transition from the two areas rather seamless. The unfinished wall (solarium side) to the left is still waiting for the grainite tile, and now have decided to wrap the grainte around that wall to the kitchen side.





So for the past several days have been thinking of how to solve the pantry door issue, as the grainte tile on the wall could be a conflict of sorts. Well at Home Depot yesterday picking up some sponges, I found a solution the door issue. A wine cooler has been on the request list from Ken for a long time, so with a few measurments and some thinking, decieded to add it now.



The cooler has two areas that have storage for 18 bottles each, seperate temp controls for each area (red/white wines). The interior lights are on a seperate power button, the the blue display times out after two minutes of no activity. This was rather important as they are rather bright at night, and could be a problem when the big screen/projector go in. The cooler will be trimed out and the space above it will be converted to wine glass storage.......in my spare time. Any and all comments are welcome, the interior designer is visiting today to give her opinion.....but rather late to change much. lol

Great pics Dennis, I like the colors you are using with the cabinets/tile/counter tops....

I need you to build me an l shaped bar

Sure no problem...but the shipping cost will be more then my labor. lol

Great looking cabinets.
When did you get Rockets?
And more importantly, what did you do with the M80s?

ooops

I must say Denis, with your cabinetry skills and the things you¡¦ve done to that home, I just can¡¦t believe you didn¡¦t make the cooler yourself. I guess you¡¦re human after all.

The black boarder looks great between the two contrasting tile colors. I enjoy tile work. Out of all the different crafts / trade skills involved with building my home, I liked the tile work the best.

Ya, what¡¦s up with the rockets?

I changed over to the darkside about 10 weeks ago, the reason for changing was I had wanted wood cabinets, but they were simply not in the budget at the time. Financial situation changed, so went with the Rockets, of course as soon as the Rockets were here, I find out Axiom is going to make wood cabinets, seems at times one can't win.
As for the 80s and Qs, I sold them to friends and did very well in the return on the investment, but I still have the twin 600s and not changing to differant subs. Still have the W3s upstairs, so still have some Axioms.

I listened to The RS1000s about a year ago and really liked them.
They were in loft with cement floors, walls, ceiling, and staircases.
A VERY "reflective" or "live" room.
The only thing I didnt like about them is that side woofer grill kept popping off.

Huh? What did I miss?

Have had no problem with the grills on the 1ks, sounds like a problem that should have been reported to Rocket.

Yep. Wood finishes are coming any time now.
It was reported that they would make their debut sometime mid Jan.

Early on (nov-dec 04?) there were a few owners reporting the "flying" grille phenomenon on the RS1k's. I haven't heard anything like that in quite some time. Looks like they've remedied the problem.

Why? You lonely tonight?

Uh............. Yes.
Please.

I HATE guys that are so handy they can do such a beautiful job of fixing up their home. All the tile in your home is really handsome, Dennis.

VERY nice. I thought you were going to put the EP600s in the kitchen so the bass would show up in the living room instead of the computer room. The wine coolers could go in the living room where the EP600s are now.

By way of explanation, Dennis seems to have some interesting acoustical things going on. The house is very open in design, so the bass doesn't stay in the living room like it is supposed to

Thank you to all with the nice compliments, much appreicated. There are days its hard for me to see the progress.

Actually the twins are out in the solarium now, and in the second location attpemt with the aid of the SMS-1. Has been about a month at that location, and seems to be the best so far, solved a lot of the issues of where they were in the family room. When time permits, still want to try them other than co-located, something like: 600 - 850______________850 - 600, with some distance between the 850s. To make it simple, the subs and rear 850s together, rather than the twins off in the corner by themselves. *shrug*

I kept my secret... I'm glad the cat is out of the bag now...

OK...I know I haven't been watching the boards as closely lately, but where the heck is this real wood veneer Axioms being reported?

This was the first posting about it.



wood

I suppose your theater isn't the ROCK 'N' HAXIOM Theater anymore?

ROCK 'N'HROCKET Theater maybe?

Goes to show ya we can keep a secrete . Not that it needed to be, the most important thing is that Dennis is happy with his choices. Nice work btw.

Yep I kept that secret as well, I was talking about Axiom's wood finishes, I didn't realize it was public knowledge yet...

How cool is this!

I personally enjoy telling secrets, especially when they look as good as this. Click me!

Got to see the "wood in Dec" but Norton blocked me and the kids from seeing the other one

Brady, your wish is my command. I threw in a couple more just for kicks. I'm not a stalker...
Sorry for the hijack, Dennis. Lovely tile work btw. I bet it looks better in person. Seriously I really do admire your workmanship.



My avatar... Looks good. Although not my favorite of her.



Lovely as a blonde. I really like this one. Very pleasing to look at.





Don't forget to click on this one. I like her best with dark hair. Ok...um...she could be a blonde, brunette, redhead in this shot...I'm not complaining.
Maxim Brunette!

She is truely a hotty, awesome legs as well...

She looks like she is only 16 as a blonde.

If I could only remember her name, I know Richeydog told me once before.

Anna Farris, I think.

All I have to say is THANK YOU and Mmmmmm Mmmmmm good, or as my German grandpa use to say, "Oooftaaa".
Never really knew the exact translation, but I always knew it was good.
(Opposed to just plain old oofta which was bad)

Thanks John, now off to Google images to find more pics of that fine young gal...

ohhh la laaaa

Too much airbrushing on the last one.

Airbrushing is good!

BrotherBob believes she looks much better as a blonde....I wouldn't mind doing some airbrushing on her.

I'm with you Rick, blondes have more fun, ha ha, I guess that is why I married one...

I've always been partial to brown eyes and dark hair myself. My wife is Polish but most everybody mistakes her for Hispanic, very dark hair and brown eyes. They have a tendency to turn red at times though, not too often anymore since I've settled down a little.

Yes sirquack!
That girl definately floats my boat.

I like Anna Farris as a blond - which I think she is naturually (?).

She was in the Scary Movie franchises, in which she was pretty funny. I like how willing she is to embarrass herself and put herself into "gross" situations (usually involving bodily functions). Combined with her overall cuteness, her attitude makes her really sexy. Of course, it doesn't hurt that she's got a great body and a pretty face, too...

I didn't like her as much on Friends....

For all of these months, though, I must admit that I did not recognize your icon as Anna... she's somewhat of a cameleon in those photos.

Who did she play on friends?

Brady, according to IMBd, she played the character "Erica" on Friends in 2004. I have not seen these episodes.

Capn, first time I had ever seen or heard of this fine woman was in scary movie. She had dark hair at the time. I've been transfixed ever since. I do agree with the rest of you, I'm starting to like the blonde Anna more than ever.

Maxim sure does a good job at making wholesome girls look lke complete tramps, don't they? In a good way, I mean. Anna Farris in the back of the limo in that link looks like a rather mid-priced hooker. Not that it decreases my desire to eff her at all....

When did we become fark.com?

It was either discuss kitchen tile or Anna Farris. I think we chose wisely.
