My step mother has those double tens and believe me, that needs to be changed - at least into a single larger can. She has a bottom mount from Kraftmaid that died after 5 years. I'm not sure if it was the frustration of two tiny cans causing overly enthusiastic filling, bad design or that it wasn't full extension making it difficult to get to the back can. For me, top mount(or side mount) is plenty strong enough. We had a single 50qt and had no issues. Cans held by a platform which is in turn held up with 250lbs rated side mount glides. Compared to bottom mount, there were also zero spills into the cabinet itself while my stepmother's tracks were always full of fallen garbage.

Quote: "I have checked out my PB with the BBB and everything looks great. He has built pools for 5 personal friends dating back 8 years and none of them have had any problems and recommended him highly." Excellent, sounds like a great track record! ==As far as automation...forgive my ignorance...would that be the Pentair Intellitouch Wireless? He has included the 4 keypad in our bid but I'm wondering if I should request the 8 keypad. Any thoughts?== Yes, I just responded in your other thread too but the Intellitouch is your automation system. Since you've got Pentair automation you should definitely consider the 4 speed Pentair pump (4x160). It's an excellent and efficient pump and can be programmed to run at various speeds for different functions through the Intellitouch. Regarding the keypad, it really depends on what you're controlling. Is it the QuickTouch remote? If so, that's just a simple 4 button on/ off keychain-sized controller. They also make a full-featured controller that allows you to make adjustments as well as turn things on/ off (costs a lot more though). ==One other thing...our weeping wall will have 4 weepers along the 40' wall. There will be a loveseat in the water in the back center so no weeper there. Should I request a fifth weeper at the loveseat? Would that require additional plumbing or pumps?== Hard to picture what you're describing, do you have a plan you can scan & post? I guess it depends on whether you want water spilling on you while you're seated or not. It would require additional piping, but probably not another pump.

I’m not sure I haven’t deleted anything. I do take everyone’s comments seriously but some of the things people were pointing out cannot be changed right now or we don’t want it to be changed. Thank you for pointing out the cabinets I will look into it for sure. I’m very confident that our house will be built to our standards we have walked through many of our builders homes and have even talked with past customers who say they love their homes and the craftsmanship that was put into it. When it comes to contentment it is partly that for sure at least for my husband and I. When you see houses or interiors you wish you could have but at the end of the day know you cannot afford it you do have to be content. There was a home plan from our builder that we absolutely loved but no way we could have afforded it so we looked at every other plan they had until we found this one that was in our budget and loved equally. It won’t be the biggest fanciest house in our subdivision but it works perfectly for us the way it is. When I asked about changes I meant interior color choices or our carpet, tile, quartz etc...not layout changes or anything like that because we don’t have the budget for that nor do we want it changed so I guess I should have been more clear. I get that everyone’s advice here is invaluable and I’m glad I was given it and I do appreciate it. But we are keeping our home the way it is.

Why does it bother you Soph? I'm not expressing anything besides theres a thousand and one other things I prefer to spend my money on. Generally, Ive found that simple technical questions don't usually require a photo. It would be helpful though to know exactly what product was first applied and what product(s) she is now trying to use . Can this b e deciphered by looking at a photo? Maybe, maybe not. Sure, post a photo but this woodworker/refinisher would still want to know the specifics re products that were used.
