Unable to Install Undermount Faucet Nut -- Not enough room!
Comments (10)What you can use really depends on access, clearance, and what part of the cabinet and how much needs to be removed. Sometimes a sharp wood chisel and a mallet are the best bet. Sometimes power tools. Sectioning away small areas in a controlled manner is easiest with a precise tool like a fein multimaster. When you have more leeway a sawzall with a short blade can be equally effective...but a bit less precise. It's tough to offer advice without seeing it. I'm guessing that the vanity is installed in place, as is the countertop, and neither can be moved? If you do have to whack away at it with a hammer and chisel, be sure to not crack your countertop! A sharp chisel can make quick and easy work of things. A not-so-sharp chisel can cause nothing but aggravation. Mongo...See MoreHow 'precious' is granite?
Comments (17)1. Granite is very "fancy" looking for our sort of "country style" kitchen. - color choice will help you here. 2. I am a VERY messy cook, quite often drips and messes get left overnight. I am worried about staining/etching. - Our granite has never etched or stained and it hasn't been sealed in almost 3 years. Get a small piece of some ou are considering and test them. 3. I am a tea lover and there are constant tea rings left all over my counters. - My granite hasn't stained from coffee or granite, often left on for hours (thanks to DH). 4. I have 5 children and they use the kitchen A LOT especially for loading/unloading the dishwasher. I am worried they will be cracking/chipping all my dishes. - take it out of their allowance. Seriously, we wacked a few dishes on the edge of the counter at first, nothing ever broke, you just have to get used to it. Tell them to take it slow. 5. I am worried my granite will always be freezing cold (I live in Canada) - I don't sit naked on my granite, that makes a big difference. ;) Seriously, we are in Maine. Yes, it's cold. But why does that matter? I don't put bare skin against it, why would I? It's great for rolling out dough. I usually stick a piece of Saran-Wrap on the counter before I roll for quicker cleanup. Laminate chips, gets burn marks, warps from water....See Moreundermount sink question
Comments (8)acrylic is water based - 100% silicone is not.... either will work - if your doing it yourself - acrylic is way easier to finish with a wet sponge or rag than silicone. 100% Silicone on the other hand has a much more tenacious bond to a sink and to stone, and must be cleaned off (when it's just been applied) with de-natured alcohol. Silicone also has a really strong vinegar smell when it is applied - but that goes away after a few hours of curing. we use 100% Silicone - because I've been working with it for close to 35 years. Usually I use either GE, Dap or Dow Corning - I don't waste my time & money on the "Silicone II" or the "Siliconized" brands - for me - 100% Silicone is the way to go......... Acrylic is easy to use, but silicone will last longer IMHO kevin...See Morefree undermount sink with granite install?
Comments (3)I'm getting granite counters too (hopefully templating this thursday) and these fabricators also offer a free sink. It is a standard double bowl, 18 gauge. I want a 60/40 with a deep 10" side, because that's what I'm used to. Since I was going to purchase one myself, I went ahead and got a 16-gauge. Ordered it from galaxytoolsupply.com It came in 3 days and I love it! Has the grids, and for $16 a cutting board - total was $235!! I don't know how easy it is to replace a sink once you have granite installed, so I would rather purchase the sink I want and can live with "forever"...See MoreJoseph Corlett, LLC
