Does this freestanding vanity fit?
Comments (1)We had a similar situation and ended up refinishing our old builder grade oak 93" vanity. It was in an alcove and I didn't like the idea of having a free standing vanity because there would be a small gap on each side that would either become a haven for dust, or we would have to find matching molding to close the gap. The refinishing went well so we kept out old vanity but if it hadn't we would have replaced it with a ready to assemble vanity. You might try a search for "RTA vanity" they are far less expensive than custom and are modular so you can usually find components that will end up being the size that you need. This picture doesn't show our entire vanity, but I think you can get the idea from it...See MoreHelp with tight master bath: 18 inch or 22 inch depth vanity??

Comments (15)oooooh-noooo. I am so sorry you got hit with something like this. I'm sure you must be really frustrated and angry. But, if your builder is building the house according to the plans you approved - and I assume he is since you didn't say he isn't - there really is not much use in blaming him or trying to get him to bear the cost of fixing the problem. Do the plans show steps from the house into the garage? On the plans, how far into the garage do the steps extend? If the plans show fewer steps then, it is possible that your builder poured the garage slab too low in comparison to the house slab - which would make this his problem to fix. But, if the plans show steps extending 5 feet into the parking bay, then you would have known how much space you would have to park in if you had read the plans carefully enough. (It is easy to make such mistakes when you're a novice at reading house plans so I'm not trying to beat you up. Just telling you the facts.) If the mistake is yours, you're going to have to bear the cost of fixing the problem. You can't say that your builder should have known that the garage would be too small for two cars. Since cars come in all sorts of sizes, your builder can't really be held responsible for knowing what size your cars are. Much as you may want to blame him, that is counterproductive at this point. You need to focus NOW on finding a solution you can live with that costs as little as possible to implement. And, the quicker you figure out what your options are, the more of them you're likely to have because the longer you wait, the more "building" is going to be finished and the more it likely to cost to implement whatever solution you can find. Post your garage plans asap as well as some pictures of the garage so we can see what stage everything is at. I'll be very surprised if the folks on this board can't help you find a solution. But, try to get used to the idea that it is probably going to cost you some money to implement a fix. If you sweet-talk your builder instead of antagonizing him by blaming him for something that isn't his fault, he might cut you a good deal on whatever work needs to be done to make the garage useable for you. If he has built according to the plans and you've yelled at him when he wasn't at fault, he'll probably get even by jacking up the price of the labor to do whatever needs to be done to fix the problem. Again, I AM truly sorry you're having to deal with this issue and I do understand your frustration. I do hope you'll post your plans and let the GW community see if we can't help you find a reasonable solution. >>...See MoreWhy won't my dishwasher fit?
Comments (18)Hey Live_Wire_Oak, You're totally right of course. This is not how it's supposed to be done according to regulation, but we belatedly discovered that our contractor was a bit of a wildcatter. (My husband asked many times about this approach and the contractor told him, at the time, that the only other option was to either gouge out the back of our new kitchen cabinets--to allow for the access panel you suggest--or to punch a hole in the roof for a vent. Neither sounded good to us and so this is what we're left with.) Weedmeister, That's a really interesting and smart suggestion. If I understand correctly, it would allow the full length of the hose to "sit" inside the already opened cavity. Questions for you: 1: Would we probably need to cut and reposition the Y-connector (turning it further into the cavity) to make this work? We're assuming so. 2 If we set it up without any kinks, would everything *probably* still drain as intended? We'd be sure that pieces are not cinched too tight, but would this already un-Kosher drainage set up still probably work? Many thanks, Hannah...See Moremydreamhome
