How much filler space for peninsula receptacle between cabinets?
Comments (1)A standard duplex cover is 3" so if you want to squeeze, you could do a 3" filler, however, its always been my experience to leave a little extra, so maybe a 4" filler....See MoreHow much space do I need between wall and fridge to open it fully?
Comments (4)Manual says minimum of 2 5/8" for door to open 90". For the full 125" opening, clearance would need to be 10". We tested it yesterday by moving the fridge around and found that about 4" would be enough to open the door a bit past 90" and all drawers and shelves can slide out fully should I ever need to take them out for cleaning. One possible option is to put in a narrow utility cabinet in the corner and have the fridge go next to that. Ikea's narrowest is 15". I'd need to double check exactly where the water line is to make sure it would still be in the fridge area and not get stuck behind the utility cabinet. That may be my best option to avoid a large filler. Thanks all!...See MoreHow much space between shelves?
Comments (6)Oldtimers will say - 8-12 inches distance from the crown of the plant to the T12 tube for standards, 6 for minis. But we have new more efficient fluorescents now and moving towards LEDs. So while I agree with Jeff - some plants will need more space, some - less - you still need to provide enough and not too much light at the crown level. I am a believer in the proper tools. I cannot eyeball the light level. So - upload an APP 'Lightmeter" or similar app on your cell phone - or if you do not have an android or iPhone - ask a friend or relative do it for you. I find 250-400fc on a crown level to be a good range. Dark leaf violets will like higher number - under the tubes - and light color violets will be happy on the edges. Since you purchased the LEDs from Amazon - and they are different from mine, Jeff's and everybody else - you need to take one measurement before you mount them. Hang the fixture 20 inches above the horizontal surface - and find the sweet spot - 400 fc under the center - lets say it will be 10 inches. You will add the height of the plant and the reservoir, space that the light fixture will take - and it is your distance between the shelves. The light level diminishes away from the center - so if you put your plants higher in a back of the shelf for better presentation - it will work too. And you can always mobe your plants around to accommodate higher and lower light requirements, If you are not comfortable to do the measurements right now - you can start with 20 inches between the shelves and move them farther apart if the leaves start bleaching and hugging the pots. The low light is not damaging - so start from more - and gradually reduce the height until you see that it is too much. More light - the plants will bloom more but the bloomstalks and petioles will be short. When you are close to a sweet spot - you can play with the time....See MoreHow much space should be between shower curb and bottom of glass?

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoMy medicine cabinet was built onsite, and the door just uses Euro-hinges. You can buy Euro-hinges that open just 90 degrees from a variety of manufacturers. Blum even has a little plastic clip that mounts into several of their hinges to prevent them from opening wider than 90 degrees if they originally opened further. The reality is that I could have a door that opens even wider than 90 degrees as the sconces don't protrude far from the wall.

2 years agoI want to put a sconce in the middle of the mirror on a piece of wood. How wide should the wood be 14 , 16 inches!

2 years agoSconces mounted on mirrors can look good, but I'm not sure that mounting a sconce on a wide wooden surface in the middle of the mirror is a good choice -- esthetically or practically -- particularly with that nice, formal cabinetry. Why don't you simply dispense with the wood and mount the sconce directly on the mirror? I have a pair of sconces mounted on a 5-1/2' wide mirror in my powder room. I also get better light distribution because the light at the rear of the sconce reflects off the mirror.
