Many times we need to hire a contractor and try to extensively google for reviews on that contractor. Sometimes to no avail :(
Just curious what web resources you use when trying to find a contractor? Be it a review site or some other method, what have you used in the past to identify the best p...
I have problems with this question. It encourages link only answers and self promotion. But, those answers might very well be the best answers to the question.
Yes it has some insulation theirs some missing and i'm afraid it my catch on fire i was told to get some fire proof insulation and roll it up stufed it in and tap it up with tap..
@NiallC. I'm personally a fan of the pull-out style for putting less wear on the hose (that's just a theory, no practical experience). It really depends on the style of your kitchen, mine is cramped so I looked for things that wouldn't make the space feel any smaller.
@BMitch Some of the stuff I've read online suggests that you have to change your grip between pulling the sprayer out of the faucet and using it. Do you find that too?
So, hand over the sprayer to grasp it, then switch to hand underneath for spraying
@NiallC. It depends on what you're spraying. If you're trying to fill a pot that's too large for the sink, then you just pull straight out. If I'm trying to spray the sink itself (washing off the back and sides), I tend to do a two handed operation to avoid kinking the hose.
My hand is typically over the sprayer, with fingers at the buttons to switch from spray to stream (I intentionally got one with buttons on the bottom where they are less visible)
@NiallC. just as important as how it works is how it fits your home, find something that matches your style and space. If you're anything like me, it will spend a majority of it's time in the retracted position.
The weekly PUT meetings have been fizzling lately, mostly because many of the regulars are busy with our lives. Do we still need to have a PUT, should it be changed (new time?), or is there something else we should be doing to attract more regulars to the chat (and to the blog)? If there's no int...
@BMitch The sink is currently very cluttered with faucet, sprayer, instant hot water and soap dispenser. Cutting that down to faucet and soap will make that a lot nicer.
Longer term, the whole kitchen will eventually be replaced (or the house will kill me first)
@NiallC. Are you replacing the sink too? Otherwise there will be some holes to cover. I really like the look of a simple faucet and soap dispenser without all the other clutter.
@NiallC. if the whole kitchen remodel doesn't include the countertop and cabinets, now may be a good time for the sink. With the sink out you can do a bunch of connections for the faucet and disposal without lying awkwardly on your back.
but I only suggest that if you have a drop in sink, not an undermount
I started with "replace a refrigerator" and ended up gutting the kitchen and getting ready to replace the rest of the flooring on that level of the house.
