Heartwood Cohousing is a community of 24 homes. We bought a used commercial, under-counter dishwasher (Hobart, I believe). It works great. The cycles are about 2 or 3 minutes. The dishes do come out wet, but we have lots of counter space and a dry climate, so no problem. And we have an open kitchen design and love it. We designed the kitchen to be closed off in the future in case noise turned out to be a problem, but we have no dining room noise problem (even with the dishwasher running), except maybe that unruly tribe of kids that sometimes get a little too excited when dessert shows up. I think the secret to our success with acoustics is our Tectum ceiling. The cork floors also probably help. Ditto on the recommendation for open cupboards and labels for drawers and closed cupboards. -- Mac Thomson Heartwood Cohousing http://www.heartwoodcohousing.com . . . . . where we're finally getting some rain that will hopefully end this drought and restore our community water wells. We're down to about 55 gal per household per day. Yikes.
