I LOVE this support system - Please send the link if you find it

Yeah the instructions in the sink box said for undermount sinks they should be 1/8 below the top of the cabinets. The countertop guy comes in and say it should be above the top of the counter (I even tried calling the manufacturer but they were NO help). I have the 2x4'a along both sides and...

Thanks. We scribed the opening to the size and depth given on the instructions exactly! My son was quite proud of himself - did it slowly with a pull saw and it's so good a cut, you can't tell it wasn't done by the cabinet factory! Then the countertop guys say the sink will need to come up a...

I'll try and attach a picture from HD of the cabinet. If you can see the picture (if not I apologize) it has the opening already cut out in the front for the sink to rest on and extend past the front of the cabinet. The cabinet face frame is 3/4 inch plywood so I was planning on beefing up that...

Hello again everyone! Just have a quick question on the sink cabinet for an undermount farmhouse sink install. The sink cabinet that was installed has the correct opening in front, and a 2x4 support frame (on each side) has been installed. The sink ends will sit on the 2x4 frames on each side of...

thanks guys

Hello! Long story but here's my latest mess. I have to mount a 48" range hood to the bottom of two 24 inch wide cabinets. These cabinets have a 1/2 inch gap in-between. The range hood has a 7-7/8" inch diameter damper in top that must be cut into the bottom of these two cabinets right where they...

Thanks everyone!!! I'm old, and recovering from two rounds of septic shock - I think I'll rent a PEX expander tool

Hello. I had a guy come in and do some plumbing work. Did a decent job and had a PEX expander and fittings to go from PEX to Copper. It looked great until we decided to move the sink cabinet a bit and now things don't line up. In any case, we're seniors on a tight budget so calling the guy back...

You guys are great!!! THANKS!

THANKYOU! I think that's a better idea!

Thanks! They are out of stock at out local HD and owes and out of stock at HD online.

Hello! We're extending the pony wall in our kitchen and I'd like to use a brace like this, (currently on the existing end - see picture), and use it on the new end. I've looked everywhere in the HD and they are no-where to be found. It seems VERY strong. The employees are clueless so I thought I...

carlaisle, I did have another guy come out and he didn't want to speak anything bad, or at all, about the guy I was dealing with before - but he said the same thing you did about using "SharkBite" fittings - especially for a high use item like a sink or shower. He said if that's what I wanted to...

carlaisle, thinking about what happened as tuition actually made me feel a little better! My wife and I are seniors on a VERY tight income and this budget buster has really put us in a bad spot, so I feel bad and I wish my wife would just yell at me - but she tells me not to worry about it and...
