Our counter depth fits one perfectly, but it is noticeably less deep. It is a Samsung I think? We bought it when we moved in and it has been really great after a year and some months.Just store it on the counter. That shit never goes bad.
That's too dang bad, man. If I had that, I'd look all over ebay and google to see if you can't find a replacement. Post your make and model, I'll give it a go.Our counter depth fits one perfectly, but it is noticeably less deep. It is a Samsung I think?

On the other hand regarding dishwashers.... I'm about to buy a new one because the one that came with the house, the lower tray or whatever is a piece of shit. The wheels are all jacked so it doesn't roll out, the teeth are all jacked and plates don't sit straight. Loading it is like playing Jenga while drunk. One slight move and like 10 plates fall down like dominoes. Looking on LGs website and Amazon I couldn't find a replacement either, but haven't called a direct line or anything. Otherwise it is awesomely silent and does a great job cleaning.
It was in the house when we bought it last year. I'll check the receipt when I get home and let you know (they left the receipt because they bought the 5 year protection plan from best buy in case anyone is wondering).Mind if I ask what that cost you? The Bosch is about 2,400$, and that's just too much for me to justify spending on a dishwasher when I got one that works well for under 300$.
That right there is the *only* downside to living here in the midwest where housing costs are so low. A lot of remodel/upgrade costs are fairly consistent no matter what part of the country you are in, and spending 12K on windows doesn't make much sense when your home is only valued at 150K to begin with. 12K is a drop in the bucket on a half a million dollar home on the coasts, you'll probably easily see a good return on that investment when it's time to sell, but it's hard to justify a lot of higher-end finishings and upgrades around here. Dropping 30 grand on a full kitchen remodel would be absolutely insane to do in a lot of homes here, thats 20% of the value of your whole home, and it definitely won't raise the value of the home that much.Have contractors coming in to install Harvey Acoustic Windows for my entire house. Gotta replace the shitty Harvey Slimline which were installed before... STC 28 vs STC 44... Wife and I wanted Storm Windows and the Slimlines don't support them so we decided to go all out.
For ~20 windows and 2 storm doors we are looking at around $12.5K
The people who we bought our house from bought it for 180k and we bought it from them for 215k 18 months later. They redid the kitchen (floor, counters, cabinets, all appliances), redid 1 full bath, brand new hard wood floors in the entire house except basement, brand new roof, torn down two walls to make an open kitchen, new windows in the upstairs, new tankless water heater, and a new vinyl fence for the entire back and side yards. What our agent told us (that the sellers agent told him) and that the neighbors confirmed to us is the couple got divorced, the wife got the house, but her new boyfriend/fiancee needed to live in another county in order to be a sheriff out there... so they didn't flip it which was what we were nervous about. All that being said, they put in way more than 35k in material costs alone, not to mention labor.That right there is the *only* downside to living here in the midwest where housing costs are so low.

We currently live in an older(built in the 60s) ~1500 sqft home that is probably valued around 150-160K. We'd like to move to something bigger probably in the next 5 years, but our current home needs some serious remodels, the bathrooms and kitchen are sorely out of date(one bathroom still has original lime green tile on the walls from 60s/70s) Spending 5 or 6 grand for each bathroom isn't too bad, but I just don't think we'll ever justify dropping 20-30 grand on a new kitchen, when it might bump up our home value by 10-15K tops. We watch all the HGTV/DIY network home remodeling shows and it always amazes me when someone in an area with a high cost of living drops 50K into their kitchen and it raises their home value from 800K to 900K or whatever. That's a damn good tradeoff in those situations.
Windows vary WILDLY in price. We got a quote from a local window company, one of those places that advertises triple-pane glass and all that crap. They game us a quote of 14K for like 10 normal windows and a big bay window in our living room. Lowes had one of their contractors come out and give us a quote for like 5K to install their windows. the 14K ones were all wood & metal, not vinyl(which they claimed would warp and have trouble opening over time) like the Lowes windows, but fuck me if I'm going to spend 10% of my homes value on Windows. I really don't even want to spend 5K on friggin windows.The people who we bought our house from bought it for 180k and we bought it from them for 215k 18 months later.

Regarding windows, our house was built in 1966 and the basement and living room windows are original and we need to replace them. I am hoping to not spend more than 4k on them but fuck...
