Calling all Toto cast iron tub owners
Comments (11)I am looking to purchase a TOTO alcove cast iron bath tub (modeL FBY1525). My problem is there are no showrooms near me to actually see the tub before buying. Is the apron on the tub just has smooth as inside the tub? I am asking this question because I have seen several Kohler cast iron tubs which their cast iron tub's apron (the front panel of an alcove tub) does not have the same smooth finish as the inside of the tub. I can only describe the apron finish has the appearance of an orange peel effect. Could any of you who has a TOTO alcove cast iron tub (looking like what I just described), please provide me with any feedback to help me in my decision.

Comments (9)My cabinets are being built right now and (a few days delayed) are going to be installed Monday and painted white. I plan to get them painted onsite (right or wrong, a decision made when I placed the cab order) My cab guy recommended that my painter use pre-cat laquer finish as it is supposed to be 'much more durable and easier and faster to apply'. My painter is accustom to using an oil based enamel but appears to have no concerns using the laquer. However, I called the laquer rep ML campbell and they recommend that the pre-cat laquer only be sprayed in a booth (not in a home). My cab guy says as long as my kitchen is masked off well and ventilated, we are out of the house for a day, we should be fine. Any of you have experience with laquer enough to know if this is true - if I'm OK to have laquer sprayed on cabs in the home? Or too risky? I know the laquer is HIGHLY flammable. Sorry, maybe better for paint forum, but I've had no luck getting feedback on this and need to make a decision in like two days, and I'm just as concerned about durability of white cabs as OP. Toddler, dog, and one on the way. OP - I can say that my cab maker demonstrated how durable the laquer finish is and I thought it seemed pretty dang good. He scratched it with a knife and then used laquer thinner to 'melt' the lacquer around it and smooth out the scratch. pretty slick. Eased my concerns about touch up of lacquer cabinets vs paint (I was afraid the laquer would be harder to me to touch up with a paint brush)...See MoreCalling all 27 inch sink base cabinet owners please . .
Comments (9)Deborah: Kohler is wrong. They are trying to think ahead to allow room for plumber hands to tighten junk and leaking clips. A 27" sink undermounts into a 27" cabinet if the sink is strapped, not clipped or blocked, in place. Plenty of room under a sink for tightening. Hercules Universal Sink Harness or Sink Straps. You can believe Kohler or you can believe a guy who has done this thousands of times and has pictures to prove it. I put a 33" sink into a 27" cabinet last month....See MoreCalling all Walnut Countertop Owners
Comments (29)I would consider whether your kitchen is open to other rooms in your decision. Is this a new build, major remodel? You'll want these elements to blend. I must say that my island happened by accident. It was originally marble. That's a long story on another thread. Several problems came up during my remodel starting with the floor. My large sample did not have the light and dark variations, so I was quite dismayed when it was delivered. I could not take looking for another product and waiting for delivery and acclimation so I decided to keep it. It made finding countertops difficult. In my case, walnut was a low cost choice to pull in the colors in my wood floor and my brown/black island cabinets. It ends up that the floor gets the most attention, until their eyes move to the island. I think you are wise to think this out now. I would choose the White Macabaus on all surfaces if you go with the charcoal. If you decide on the walnut, I would do a rustic finish so the dents and scratches blend. We grew up up with many fine wood pieces in my parents home, all of which had the surfaces ruined by a household of kids. We did homework on our large dining table, but it had protector pads. You might do a shout out to those that have a Waterlox Satin finish to see how the finish is holding up, especially for scratches. A furniture finish like mine will require lots of maintenance to deal with scratches. I plan to experiment with the recent scratches that happened when family was visiting last week. My nephew dragged a serving platter to get it closer to his plate. The finish does seem to level out over time. I had deep scratches from bathing my puppy last summer that are hardly noticeable now. Another thing to note is that Waterlox has a long cure time....See Morealouwomack
