I was just reading your enthusiastic post about your new daylilies and the bonus 'Someday Maybe' that came with your order. I "google image-ed": daylily AND 'Someday Maybe' and up popped this image, right from your supplier's catalog. Looks like a nice one! Here is a link that might be useful:

I'm going to be doing the same search for a 24" or 27" inch deep hood in ~4 months. I'm hoping to do 27" or even 30" deep lower cabinets on the wall where my cooktop will live, to give me a deeper counter behind the cooktop for large pots and to allow for deeper cabinets up top. Plus more counter space is good in general. If I do that, I'll either need a deeper hood or I'll need to add blocking to prop a shallower one out from the wall. That would probably work with a cabinet or soffit above the hood, but not with a chimney-style hood. If I go the chimney hood route, ModernAire seems to be the right choice because they can do custom sizes depths. They also seem to have a continuous slider control for the fan speed rather than a 3-speed one, which I like. (I'm going to have a roof-mounted blower.) ModernAire is super pricy, though, especially for custom sizes. If anyone knows of other brands with these features, please post them! Hijacking a bit: On the subject of deep counters... I'm hoping to do 27" lower cabinets (28.5" counters) with 15" deep upper cabinets. This would violate the letter of the 'upper cabinets no more than 13" deep' rule that I've seen in some cooktop and range manufacturers' installation instructions. I don't think it violates the spirit, since the cooktop would be pulled out too and there would be less depth of cabinet along the cooktop edges than there would be with 24" lowers and 13" uppers. Has anyone tried that? What did the inspectors say? I know I need to talk to my local inspector (or have my contractor do so) but I figured I'd ask here too. Laura

Seriously? Is your machine a commercial one, or a home machine? I am a professional and I would not routinely sew leather on a domestic (home use) machine. Many retailers over-promise what a sewing machine will do. The type of sewing machine you should be using will have an on-off switch on the heavy, metal-legged table in which it sits, and the foot pedal is a wide one that engages a clutch motor. I suspect the motor of a domestic machine will burn out rather quickly sewing leather. Use a Teflon foot.

I live in Southern Chester County. I used Stone Masters in Kennett Square. They did fabulous work. (I have BA) In fact I was in there yesterday with a friend looking for her counters. Their prices might not be the cheapest around, but I feel you really are paying for the craftsmanship and you get it from them. Let me know if you do go, I'll tell you whom to ask for.
