Dishwasher location not next to sink - any one??
Comments (10)Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I've been lurking on these boards for months and this is my first post so all comments are appreciated. I will try to post the layout as we envision it as soon as I figure out how to do so. To answer the questions raised so far: @Angie DIY - we believe there is room in the bump-out for the water supply/drainage. @Katesouros - unfortunately we can't put the DW across from the sink - we're really limited in terms of usable space and have some constraints we just can't move such as a center stairwell that makes up on wall of the kitchen - that would be a great idea though! @Mbarstow - we are thinking of a corner sink as well - any other configurations really limit our counter space which is one of the biggest issues with the current layout - the corner where the sink will be is on one side of the bump-out and the DW would be on the other side....See More24 inch sink base possible?

Comments (17)My first thought is an 18" dw is fine for a small rental kitchen. We rented out part of the lower part of our first house. We went to trouble and expense to make the kitchen better than what was there. Long story short, every single tenant we had religiously bought take out and used the larger fridge we bought for some lonely leftovers, beverages and condiments. The second to last tenant asked us to remove the island to fit his big sectional in and the last guy did not use it either. We wasted well over $1k, when we were new homeowners and cash was tight, in an effort to have a better rental unit. I'd do a modest size sink and give them more drawer space. You don't want them able to pile up too many dishes anyway.... Ikea has great options for smaller kitchens. Try out their online planner and ask for help when you go there....See MoreDishwasher placement: 36" or 12" from the sink???
Comments (18)My DW is 21 inches from my sink. We didn't redo cabinets & the end of the run after removing the peninsula was the only place for it. We don't rinse dishes, but some always end up in the sink. The drip solution is simple, go from the sink over the counter & down to the DW. I do the same to get to my simple human covered trash can that sits to the right of the DW. Counter is easy to see & wipe up drips. It depends on what you are going for I guess. Previously I had the DW facing the dining area on the other side of the peninsula & my trashcan was across the kitchen against the only wall, so I am a happy camper! On another note, does anyone know why my name from Houzz is showing when I changed it to something similar to my GW name, when it said my GW name was taken?...See MoreConfused about fitting 32' sink within 33' cab...help!
Comments (4)1/ The 1" rim around the sink need to rest on mechanical support. 2/ The counter goes on top. 3/ The two get siliconed, but silicone is not the mechanical support. The bowl of the BLANCO Precis Silgranit is 30" outside dimensions at its maximum size, at the top of the bowl, at the sink rim (the junction of two planes, one vertical, one horizontal). Here is where you need 30" clear space between supports that could be 1/2" or 3/4" or 1"w. The cabinet walls are great supports, but a bit too far apart, so you have to screw a mechanical support like angle iron onto the cabinets walls. E.g. 1/2" by 1/2" angle. You also have to scrape out a 1/4" by 1/4" notch on the top of the cabinet wall. Not a big deal. Not a concern. It's to let a fraction of the sink's 1" rim fit in there. I'm assuming cabinet walls are 3/4" thickness. There is nothing to say they aren't 1/2' thickness. Only you can say. B/ You also need support under the other two sides of the sink's 1" rim. This is another subject....See MoreJohn H
