My first poll!

So Din is essentially done. I'm cleaning up and buying a last few things - a shelving unit, stuff like that - but! I've got one question that I'm opening back up.

When I originally did the kitchen design out in my head, one of the things I was going to do was buy a wheeled kitchen work table - one with a butcher-block top and a shelf or two underneath - to go beside the stove. Without something beside the stove, there's no work surface next to it on either side. You have to turn around to use the countertop behind you.

Ian, when he was living back there, brought in a mid-70s portable dishwasher. It has a work-surface on top. It's also old and crufty. It's also currently broken, but I might be able to fix it. Unfortunately, I can't afford to replace it with a nice, new portable dishwasher, tho' I probably could once the place was rented out.

spazzkat suggests not spending money is good. risu suggests that even a nonworking dishwasher as a placeholder for a working dishwasher later is better than a worktable with no promise of dishwasher later. So, I'm asking you! Din (a.k.a. Apartment 2 in the four-plex where we currently still live) is a fully-restored 1924 arts-and-crafts/early Deco design 1250 square foot apartment that I'm hoping to rent out for $1800/month with a similarly large deposit. Given that:

Or if you have another suggestion, please leave it in the comments section. Thanks. ^_^

Polls are fun! (but answer the previous one first)

At last, _something_ is finished.

The dining nook is finished. Completely. Scrubbed down, occasional paint flecks removed with the blade of my pocketknife, everything.

Now if only the rest would catch up.

Ah well, I did, at least, finally give up and go get aged brass screws instead of waiting for the bronze-tinted equivalents. At this point, I really would have to be in category psychotic to care.

Not that this stopped me from asking whether they were lacquered, since, after all, if they weren't, they'd get darker over time, which is what I want.

No picture today. Anime night today, no time. Picture tomorrow.
