Am I over-thinking this? WWYD?
Comments (35)Thanks again snookums! I do wish the kitchen were bigger and could support an island. Unfortunately the distance between sink cabs and fridge cabs is only 96''. I could squeeze in a narrow 24'' island - but I think it would be more in the way than useful - particularly since I am stuck with a diagonal traffic pattern crossing from the front entryway to the family room. One CKD I spoke with suggested a small rolling island - which I could always add later if I decide to. The longest distance in the work triangle is 8' from the refrigerator to the sink. Everything else is within the suggested range of 4'-7'. I appreciate you challenging my decisions - it really helps me determine whether I am on the right track or not! I am far from perfect and the more eyes that look at this, the more likely all the kinks will be caught before they get implemented!...See MoreAm I overthinking this? Replacement of 90s front door
Comments (9)Thanks for the suggestions and comments. RedRyder, that's a good thought about the color. So far I've only been considering factory finishes, but I'm sure they would do a custom color for us. Thanks, houssaon. Good idea about enlarging the gutters. I'll have to put that on the list as we get heavy rains fairly frequently. We do get ice, but it doesn't last long, and hardly any snow. Wish we got more! I -definitely- don't want to highlight or pull forward the garage door, littlebug. We've been talking about the front door in that context, so we're on the same page there. Everything in front of the front door is going to get removed soon, to be replaced by new steps, etc. The first picture in the thread is more or less how it looks now. There's no shrubbery. It's just dark because it's shady there in the afternoon. That's pretty much all brick with a few short plants in the brick planter "box" that will be removed....See MoreHelp! Am I overthinking my grout choice?
Comments (3)I would have used a darker grout, specially in a garage entry. I always try to choose a grout that matches one of the mid tones in a tile. Also, grout always ends up lighter than those little plastic sample sticks, so when I find the sample stick I like, I then pick one shade darker to end up with the look I wanted....See MoreDrilling stainless steel sink, am I overthinking this?
Comments (17)I found a stainless steel metal fabrication shop that said they can trim off the excess sink lip/deck for $110. My GC would be charging $100 to drill the additional 4 holes that I need otherwise. Taking this into account, I am debating whether I should just get a different sink to save me the trouble. I found this one here that would meet my need (offset drain, slight radius corners, 9" deep, ~30" single bowl): https://www.amazon.com/DELTA-95B932-32S-SS-Workstation-Undermount-Accessories/dp/B0921BFT65. I don't really need a workstation sink with all these accessories but heck why not? After all is said and done, the Blanco with a grid would be 40% more expensive then the Delta. @joseph_corlett, I found another post where you recommended this very Blanco sink that I am having a dilemma over. Do you think the quality of the Blanco sink is worth the trouble & cost vs the Delta one that I found? I believe the Delta one is actually made by Kraus as Kraus was acquired by Delta last year. Thanks...See MoreArapaho-Rd
