I realize that this is an old thread but I want to respond for anyone with a similar problem in the future. I am amazed that someone would tell you to hire a licensed plumber for such an incredibly easy job. Come on, folks! Have we become so helpless? When I read the question, I assumed it was about copper or galvanized pipe which would be very easy to fix too but then I saw it's PVC pipe. Nothing could be easier to fix and I have no idea why the person asking the question thinks he cannot remove the elbow. Of course you can remove it! You can simply cut it out with a hacksaw and put in a new elbow. You can extend the pipe that is cut off easily with just a union and a piece of PVC. Working with PVC is so incredibly easy that I am baffled about why the question was even asked. A proper repair would take about ten minutes and cost a couple dollars. I never cease to be amazed by how helpless people are becoming. This is pretty sad.

LWO - I'm reading into your statement, but are you saying that Grohe is a crappy quality faucet? Correct me if I'm wrong. We've had a Grohe LadyLux Plus faucet for years without any problems. It doesn't have to be reset from spray when you turn it off. We love it. When we go to my sil's new house, I can see that that is one place she skimped. Her faucet is a piece of crap. Our Grohe has held up with heavy use and when we remodel we will use the same faucet and add another Grohe to our prep sink. However, if I loved the Kohler Karbon as much as you seem to, I'd try to swing that one if at all possible. I think it's a really cool faucet but I just couldn't justify the cost for *me.* Oh, and I wouldn't go with the cheap screw-on spray attachment.

Thanks for the email with the link to the question. I probably would not have seen it otherwise. Our kitchen is still functioning as new. Got to thank our amazing Amish cabinet craftsmen - a shout out to Ayr Cabinetry in Indiana and yes they ship all over the country :) The cutting board still works perfectly and it is sooooo useful. When closed, you really can't see it's there at all. Pop it open and pull it out. Here it is pulled all the way out which shows the notch cut into the back. Not sure you need it but it does give you a few more inches of leverage when the board is pulled out and that is always a good thing, no? Here I took out the top drawer so I could get the camera in there. You can see the tracks the board sits in as well as the push mechanism in the back. And I'm embarrassed but I have NO idea why it looks dirty. Hope that answers all your questions. The only thing I would add is too keep the board and tracks clean otherwise the board could stick.

The left bulb always burns out soon after replacement, and if you put the bulb in another fixture it might work there. So the bulb isn't actually burned out if it works in another fixture. Sounds like a loose connection in the fixture. Depending on the price of the fixture, it may be cheaper to just replace it than to have it fixed.
