I need a little more guidance on the HUsH. I just received mine in the mail and the instructions aren't crystal clear. I am undermounting a ceramic vanity sink on granite. It does have screw holes pre drilled, but I don't trust them and was hoping to use the hercules to support the sink while we screw the clips, rather than a clamp and a board. I understand that on the back of the sink we will install 2 clips and loop the wire around the notches in the bracket. On the front side are we supposed to mount one clip on the vanity? It seems like the bracket is long and the screw part will be facing the front edge of the vanity. Will there be room to get a screwdriver/socket etc and turn it? Won't it be very close to the front of the cabinet? I had been hoping we could do this with the clips on the sides rather than front and back, and then slip the sink onto the harness. We already have the counter in from testing it for fit, and it would be easier not to take it out (tight fit between two side walls). I hoped to have enough slack to slip the sink in, under the counter, then tighten it up. I'm thinking that might not work. I would prefer not to move the granite, I'm afraid we will crack it It's a fairly standard set up, 36" w by 22" deep. Sink is 17 x 14. The videos are all of big kitchen sinks and a vanity sink is different with the drain being near the back and being so much smaller. Any tips joe?

@Kristina Dell, I prefer to have the refrigerator next to the wall because it gives more counter space, in your case it gives you the opportunity to have maybe a coffee station or a wet bar, if you feel like you have enough counter space and you need more storage, the option of the pantries to the left will be a very good one as well. In Reference to the comments about the Refrigerator next to a wall, I have done it hundreds of times, all you need to do is to have the spec of the refrigerator when you plan and make sure you follow the clearance recommendations, they vary depending on the model. Look at pictures of ( not integrated)refrigerators between a run of cabinets versus pictures with refrigerators at the end of the run. If you don’t mind that sticks 6 or 7 inches maybe you can opt for that option I hope you find the information helpful

These big sliding/folding doors are becoming very common in many areas. Even basic construction in FL will offer upgrades to 20' wide by 8' high options. I wouldn't put those lower end brands right on the ocean, but no one needs to be contacting commercial contractors or cruise ship designers if they want these doors!! Just contact Marvin, Eurowall, Nana, etc. These better brands can design and build even taller and wider panels. I think many are currently limited to 10' high max with hurricane ratings, but those numbers keep increasing as the technology improves.

I want to reduce fall risks as we age / guests age. There should be a vertical grab bar where you enter a shower or tub so you don't have to reach across the tub to the tile wall. Based on really helpful comments below about glass, my thought is to scrap idea of a walk-in shower with glass on two sides. (@JospehCorlett you may win!) ** What are everyone's thoughts on this idea instead? ** Note, this tub will not be used for baths. We have another bathroom for that in our main apartment down the hall. This is primarily for guests and sometimes for us.: (1.) Have a low tub - current vintage reglazed or new as low as possible, with the widest tub floor space possible. Suggestions appreciated! (2) Shower head, adjustable handheld, and tub spout on the long wall nearer window, spraying towards sink. (3) Build wall between tub and a new sink as in pic below. Shower controls mid-height on this wall - no need to bend down or reach to far long wall to turn on water. (4) Vertical grab bar on new wall inside shower, horizontal grab bar on long wall at standing height. (5) Use shower curtain rod as in second pic below. U and L shaped vintage look ones too unsturdy. Pros: Entry grab bar, takes care of weird window issue complicated by glass, fewer NYC permits needed than converting from tub to walk in. Cons: Tiny area for new sink. Evens out: Lifting leg into tub isn't great for aging in place, but grab bar helps with that and if someone is super limited range of motion they can stay in an ADA accessible hotel!
