RE: Hi Birchpoint, I'll try to help with posting more than one picture in a post. This is how I do it, I have my photos in photobucket, I open a second window to show the pictures in the files and then copy and paste the photo into the message frame on GW using the edit tab in the toolbar. I then click back onto the photobucket window and do the same thing, you have to keep clicking back and forth, copying and pasting. You can enter lines between photos by hitting "enter" a couple of times between all the numbers and letters that appear after you paste the photo link in the GW message frame. Trust me, if I can do it anyone can. I am working on a laptop. You just have to keep two windows open and do exactly what you did with the first one you posted. You can't see them as photos until you "preview message" so you are working a bit in the blind but you get used to it. If you forget to space down a couple of lines between the photo links, they will just be all connected, not a big deal. If I remember I always try to leave a space or two so people won't have to wait forever for them to load and maybe freeze up their computer. It took me awhile to get the hang of it. I was scared to trust it but you can. You might have to practice a few times. I would have all of a reply written and then not do it right and lose it all. Your first few times, don't put your heart and soul into a post until you are sure it is going to work. It's no fun going back to rewrite a whole post, not to mention, most of us don't have time. My photobucket for some reason doesn't even show some of my pictures after I click on the thumbnail to enlarge it, but I click on the copy link anyway and it still pastes it.

After living with single handles for most of my adult life, I hate using the 2 handles at my mother's. If I have something in one hand (i.e. rinsing dishes when washing them) I can only turn on full hot or full cold with the free hand. I end up rinsing with cold (which is really cold during the winter in Maine) since her hot is too hot for me. I love being able to control the temp of the water with one hand (instead of putting an item down to turn 2 handles to mix the water just right.) Our pull down faucets feel very precise. I keep the lever turned to the temp I use most often. Turning on the faucet to that temp requires just one motion of pulling the lever out and washing dishes is so much more pleasant without the limited choice of scalding or freezing. If needed, changing the temp is easy. When my hands are gunky, I can usually turn on nice warm water with just my pinky finger (which is usually less gunky than the others.) Can you tell I would NEVER go back to 2 handles? I actually prefer the look of 2 handles but my love of the function of 1 handle far overrides it. It's also nice to have fewer things to clean around (I really hate keeping up with the gunk that likes to accumulate around the base of the faucet and soap dispenser--the less stuff around the sink, the better, imho.)

Hey y'all -- thanks. I did mock it up, or close-enough (seems I forgot to mention that above; sorry. It was fun -- there's finally a roughtop in place so I sketched out the sinks and projections). It's poised for a big space so surprisingly, its purported massiveness will probably work. As warmfridge and probably others noted, its 9.5" "throw" will too. At this point, frankly, I'm mostly worried about the droll warnings on here about its off-brandedness. I'm not really sure what to make of that, frankly, as so many customers seem giddy with excitement about the Kraus. Unfortunately not, seemingly, from this site (that is, they're not unhappy with it here, there just seems to be silence regarding it). And of course it is completely true that I cannot and have not felt it. But I am cognizant that even though there a large number of accolades, few if any of them represent anything other than happiness with appearance, as opposed to function. I think it is Buehl who posts periodically to remind people that offbrand sinks, namely Kraus, are just wonderful. And many have taken her advice and are happy for having done so. However Sinks and faucets are likely very different animals. FWIW I too bought a Kraus sink and while it isn't installed, I'm as thrilled with the next about the packaging (I'm not kidding, most of the accolades wax on and on about the packaging; that is why their owners are so happy!). So ... it's kind of news to me that I'm coming across as such a name-brand devotee but maybe it's true. I guess I think I want to remember how much is getting spent overall and not go crazy about saving pennies and losing the dollars. (pennywise-pound foolish). And I hear you saying that's the case here. No offense but I also hear you saying you just don't know. And that's where I'm a little stuck. I don't actually think there's anything inherently wrong with Chinese offbrand products -- I could be wrong of course, particularly when there are working, moving parts involved and also conversely when the price differential may not be so huge. But having come to all this with no experience whatsoever, the idea of spending hundreds on a faucet has me agape. I had no idea a person could spend that much money on a faucet. I would have thought they were about $1-200 max. That's how out of it I am. I guess one question I have is: how difficult is it to replace a faucet if/when this one stops functioning? I just learned, to my surprise, that the counter guys route out the holes after the tops have been largely cutout. That's good news as therefore one could punch a new hole in place if necessary. Covering up one would obviously be more problematic but I'm sure people figure out creative solutions for even that. So I'm leaning toward johnliu's point of just getting it and seeing. This, BTW, is where I usually wind up getting off the shopping train: before ever reaching the station. That is, this is why even though I'm located in a megalopolis of shoppers, I wind up buying most everything sight-unseen. I'm interested in what I choose; not in what I don't! Nevertheless, I will foray to a couple more stores today. I am mystified by rococo's memory of a large showroom. I'm sure it has to be true, but I am also sure I have zero idea where it might be. I could call my KD but she's so incompetent... I have tried to converse with her about this issue and it's not as if she said: "oh, just go to xyz and you'll see it all splayed out in front of you there". True I didn't ask the question but it would seem the obvious thing to offer were it to exist. And geesh, drolldavid - do I complain on here that much? I didn't think I'd been posting displeasure.... maybe I have and didn't realize it! sorry... and thanks all.

I purchased the Delta Trinsic faucet almost exactly one year ago and am very happy with it. i wanted a quality faucet with brass, not plastic, parts and verified with Delta customer service that the faucets at Lowe’s and Home Depot are exactly the same as those sold on the Delta website and Fergueson, since this question comes up all the time. Here is the model info in case you might find it helpful: Delta Trinsic Model 9159-AR-DST (this was for Arctic Stainless Steel finish) Includes valve and supply lines Weight: 5.93 lbs MSRP $581.65 Lowe’s price: $$353.33 (arrived in one week from date of purchase) Home Depot price: $$407.16 Lowe’s and HD alternate their sales on this item. Also, this faucet is not in their store displays. Of course all this was prior to inflation and supply chain issues, so prices and availability may differ. This faucet has many of the same features as the Kohler suggested below. Kohler is another great faucet! I had a Kohler in my prior home for over 15 yrs with no issues, still going strong when I moved! Best of luck with your project!
