Sink and faucet dimensions - check me on this
I want to double check with the experts out there and make sure I am calculating this correctly. I am doing custom cabinets and my GC tells me that the sink base cabinet is 25" from front to back. The sink I plan to order is the Blanco Performa Cascade which is 32" x 19.5" (includes the rim) and will be undermounted. The faucet that I am considering is the Delta Cassidy and requires 2.5" of clearance to the BS.
That comes to 22" - and I guess it might be a little less than that if you consider that the faucet goes through the lip of the sink.
Does this sound like I am cutting things too close? Will this all fit? Thanks in advance!
Here is a link that might be useful: Performa cascade
Let's start with the Blanco specs: the Cascade Performa is intended for a 36" base cabinet. Side to side. What is your side to side measurement?
I had to go with the Cascade Precis recommended for smaller base cabinet because my remodel did not include replacing my existing cabinets.
Although 25" sounds strange for a front to back sink cabinet dimension, most are 24", I doubt you'll have any problems getting your faucet to fit.
How many inches from faucet hole to sink? Will the counter fabricator have concerns?
Found this thread which might help you. http://ths.gardenweb.com//forums/load/kitchbath/msg0211343119082.html?5
This is one of the reasons to give yourself deeper countertops by setting the cabs 4" or more from the wall if you have space to do so.
"This is one of the reasons to give yourself deeper countertops by setting the cabs 4" or more from the wall if you have space to do so."
If you do this, you gain nothing without cannibalizing the back of the sink base cabinet.
Thanks all!
If the sink cab were to be pulled from the wall, how does this work with plumbing? Would they cut out a big piece of the back panel to give access and then somehow strengthen the back to reduce any racking (or whatever that term is for shifting and rotating)?
kksmamma - I think that is 2.5" as well, though I can't completely tell from the specs on the faucet.
Thanks for the link. I should email the fabricator to make sure it will all fit without pulling the cabinet forward!
Here is a link that might be useful: Cassidy Faucet
Treb, how is the back of the cabinet affected? Pipes have to come through it whether it is on the wall or several inches away. My sink cabinet is set off the wall, so I have six inches of countertop behind the faucet rather than two, but it is still within the cabinet space below the counters.
A sink and faucet set within a 25 1/5" countertop with 1/1/2" overhang off the front of a 24" cabinet. Whether the back of the cabinet sets against a wall or is pulled forward 4" or 4' doesn't matter for faucet placement unless the back of the cabinet is altered to allow access to the additional space.
No reason to pull cabinet out unless the kitchen is designed that way and there's enough clearance in the aisle.
But the 19.5" deep sink needs to be set back from the front of the cabinet. Usually that's 1.5" though it can vary. So you have 23.50 to the back. When you subtract 19.5 from that you get 4".
But the faucet is measured from the CENTER of the stem. And there are 2 measurements to consider. 1 is the thickness of the stem itself. The second is the clearance needed to the backsplash (don't forget to add thickness on the wall for tile!!) but is that for operation of the faucet?
Best to post specs to be sure.
The sink will fit. The faucet will fit on center. But half of 4 = 2 so if the faucet is centered and it needs a full 2.5 clearance in back to operate, you are likely 1/2-inch shy. Then you'd need to check to see if the cabinet will be constructed so the sink can be pulled forward to 1" from the front to provide more space in back. Also, what that will do in terms of the countertop in front. Some have an overhang and some are flush. They don't like to make those too thin it it's stone. They may need 1-1/2"
But to be absolutely sure, please post pdf of the faucet download -- and best to post the sink download as well since there's been no mention of faucet spout length or position of the sink drain.
Thanks rococogurl! The link to the faucet specs in a link above & linked the sink specs here. Looks like the faucet stem is 2.5" wide. Maybe I should play it safe & go with the Precis Cascade. PhoneLady- do you like yours? Do you feel like it is deep enough?
Here is a link that might be useful: Performa cascade specs
Well I LOVE my Precis and it is plenty deep and roomy for our household's use.
I just measured to be sure. Including the thickness of the 3cm granite, the overall depth from the counter top to the sink drain is approx. 9". From the bottom of the raised shelf to counter top is about 6" (although that measurement is probably a non issue).
Funny but I started out thinking I was going to go with the Delta Cassidy too, but I ended up with a Moen Woodmere pull down. We liked both faucets, but I preferred the Moen finish better and my husband liked the Moen handle better, so I stop looking when we agree so completely on something (as we did with the sink too).
Also between the depth of the sink and the height of the faucet, I have zero splash factor which was a huge improvement over what I had before.
Of course I don't mind! This forum was and is an incredibly valuable resource for me so I always like to pay it forward.
Just measured. Slightly over 19".
I just posted a picture on the thread talking about R/O faucets. But I'd be happy to take another picture showing more of the faucet/sink install if you think it will help.
You can't see it in the picture, but I have a hole in the granite to the left awaiting soap dispenser. Yup......I'm in the pro soap dispenser camp. That's ANOTHER spirited yet friendly topic of discussion here.
Thanks for explaining, Treb. I still don't quite get it, but it doesn't matter to me if it doesn't matter to the op. I understand it doesn't give more space inside the cabinet, but it still seems to me it would give her extra clearance between the faucet and backsplash.
I'm a big fan of my deeper counters and the fact that getting them is nearly free if if done by setting the lower cabinets off the wall. And on the sink wall, I like that my backsplash doesn't get splashed quite so much.
I have the blanco cascade and 24 inch deep x 36 inch wide sink cabinet.
You should be fine.
I went with the standard waterstone lined up with the drain
The faucet stream by design hits in front of the drain.
No splash on the sink. DH splashes himself when he rinses dishes- but he holds them at counter level.
Splash happens when the stream hits uneven surfaces such as the flanges from the disposer or edge of drain.
My only regret - I wish I had gone with the larger waterstone (or kohler Karbon) to make it easier for my husbands back. (Don't feel too sorry as he rides 4-5 thousand miles each summer)
Thanks for measuring PhoneLady. I saw your sink in another thread & it looks great. Lol on the soap dispenser. I think I fall in the no soap dispenser camp so at least I won't have to make yet another choice!
Thanks for posting yours a2gemini! Is it the performa or the précis? I think I might choose the Cassidy that comes out further for the reasons you just mentioned.
Who knew sinks and faucets could be so mentally exhausting!

An Untrustworthy White House
One person was killed and dozens more were injured when protesters attempted to storm a U.S. outpost in Pakistan.: More flag covered coffins will arrive in the U.S. after four American soldiers died over the weekend as a result of 'insider' attacks in Afghanistan. : There are claims a video shows U.S. Libyan Ambassador Chris Stevens being dragged through the streets to the delight of a jeering crowd. : Sudan rejected an American request to send Marines in to guard the U.S embassy.: Hardline Islamist television is openly inciting anti-American violence in Egypt and elsewhere. : : Reports are that many of those participating in the "spontaneous" demonstrations are getting paid to protest.: While acknowledging it has elite troops stationed in Syria, Iran is calling for oil prices to reach $150 a barrel.: Libyan officials maintain they warned the U.S. three days before the attack on America's Benghazi consulate.
There are people who hate America.: The Obama administration is now making excuses for them.: They have apologized to them.: Obama has bowed before their kings.: In the form of foreign aid, they are still trying to bribe them with money borrowed from China.: Despite Obama's claims that his election would change Islamist attitudes towards the U.S., the people who have hated America for many long decades still hate America.
Still, U N Ambassador Susan Rice and the entire Obama administration continues to insist that it was all due to an almost entirely unknown video: "In Cairo, as you know, a few hours earlier, there was a violent protest that was undertaken in reaction to this very offensive video that was disseminated.: We believe that folks in Benghazi, a small number of people came to the embassy to – or to the consulate, rather, to replicate the sort of challenge that was posed in Cairo."
The Obama foreign policy of appeasement towards those who openly desire to destroy America has failed.: In typical Obama fashion, they have chosen a scapegoat and, along with the obedient lapdogs in the "progressive" Party Pravda, carefully orchestrated a full bore propaganda campaign designed to brainwash Americans into believing their lie.
If the White House insisted that the earth is flat would Americans be expected to blindly accept that too?: Just because Obama said so?: Just because Chris Matthews, Brian Williams, George Stephanopoulos et al dutifully repeated that lie?
Is this who America wants to oversee foreign policy and initialize economic recovery?
In the past month the producer price index jumped 1.7 percent, the biggest gain in three years.: Gasoline and food prices continue to soar.: Gasoline alone rose by 13.6 percent.: The median income of American households has continued to decline, dropping to its lowest level since 1995.: 2011 median income fell to $50,054, which is 4.1 per cent below the median income level when Obama took office.
Despite economists' predictions that initial unemployment benefit claims would rise to 370,000, they rose to a seasonally adjusted 382,000, the highest in two months.: Consistent with a clear and consistent pattern of deception shown since the current administration began, figures from the prior week were once again revised upwards, showing there were 2,000 more applications than what had been originally reported.: This subsequent upwards revision of unemployment claims has taken place with every report since Obama took office.
The jobless rate staying over 8 percent for more than three years is the longest since the Great Depression. : Hiring in America is not even increasing fast enough to keep up with population growth, much less change the outlook for tens of millions of Americans.: "Official" unemployment dropped from 8.3 percent to 8.1 percent only because so many Americans have dropped entirely out of the labor force.: They have given up on the idea of finding work in an economy stifled and smothered by failed "progressive" economic policies.
America is not better off than it was four years ago.: In fact, at home and abroad, America is far worse off.: On all fronts, Obama's policies have been met with abject failure.
With fifty days remaining before the November 6th election, Americans must make a choice.
The choice is between retaining the failure of an utterly disingenuous, irresponsible, ineffective, excuse making Obama administration, and supporting the promise of a new American revival in choosing strong, honest, reliable, responsible leadership by electing Mitt Romney.

Oh, I'm not a right winger or a left winger. I'm a realistic kind of middle guy who likes to get sandwiched between a right wing and left wing girl though. One of each is a good thing!
"Keep dropping." I'd like to say it will, but that's not going to happen for now. It's up 10 cents a gallon now on the wholesale markets off of it's lows, but it still have some time and money to go up before it hits us at the pump. We'll see it go up soon enough, whether five to eight days at the earliest or within the next six weeks or so, it'll be going higher off of it's lows.
I am an Independent with a strong left wing, Lets fly together.

Welcome to our tournament to determine the best sports logo in the state
Some are iconic. Some are obscure. And some are just freakin' cool. But which is the best?
Ferris State has turned the competition on its ear, defeating the mighty winged wheel of the Detroit Red Wings in the semifinals. With howls from the crowd, we checked for voting irregularities. But among the four biggest ballot stuffers (with between 325 and 492 votes), two were for Ferris and two were for the Wings. So there you have it.
Now FSU's bulldog will be up against the Detroit Tigers' old English D in the final. Cast your vote below. The ballot will close at 10 a.m. Thursday. Have fun!
Final, who has the better logo?

Most of us are, er, intimately familiar with the shaping power of well-constructed undergarments. Enter Marcelle's Twist Push-Up Mascara, which creates the same effect for eyelashes. Its adjustable brush both defines and adds volume to lashes, resulting in that coveted doe-eyed look. Plus, the coal-black mascara is hypoallergenic and perfume-free, and it doesn't clump or flake off.
I purchased this after seeing the rave reviews about how this is the bomb. Not so much. Really disappointed. Always on the search for that holy grail mascara. I've tried every brand from Sisley to Lancôme, Armani, dior, chanel, ysl, guerlain, the list goes on and on. I got no length or volume and the twist up thing really confused me. I so wanted to love it. Oh well, it's back to my other mascaras in the arsenal.1
I bought this mascara to try a new product and had a 40% off coupon from Birchbox. Overall I give this product a "meh" I will say my lashes look full, the applicator is great. however it flakes off quite a bit so I have been finding black specks under my eyes. Wiping them away either makes it worse and/or removes some of makeup. I will use up the mascara because I hate to waste money/products unless i break out from them but I wont be buying this mascara again.2
I was so excited to use this mascara, especially after reading all the reviews, but I was left very disappointed!! I am very particular about my mascara and hate when it looks clumpy or leaves you with tarantula eyes. I always like to give new products a fair try, but after several attempts I was unable to get the results I expected.2
I purchased this as a recommendation from Birchbox and loved it. It has a great performance, really gives you voluminous lashes, however, be careful when toting it around. I found mine clumped up on the brush and I had issues applying a nice even layer to lashes after it traveled in my makeup bag.3

Need help with mass cane
I have a mass cane that is wilting and the leaves are turning yellow/brown. It always stays inside and doesnt get much sunlight. I live in Reno so humidity tops out at about 10%. I also have another plant with the same symptoms and am not sure what it is called. It was labeled as a Peace Lilly at Home Depot but this doesnt look like any peace lilly I have seen. Any Help and advice would be much appreciated, I have a black thumb when it comes to plants as the picture tells.
Hmmmm. 10% is very low humidity.
Dry patches on leaves can certainly be caused by low humidity. It can also be because of warm dry air from heating ducts blowing on the leaves.
This problem is easy enough to remedy. Just mist the plants with a spray bottle once every few days and keep them away from heating ducts.
You've got the right idea keeping them near each other, by the way! This will help them to make their own little micro-climate of higher humidity!
There's another thing you should do though - dust your plants! They look very dusty in the pictures. Just wipe them clean with a damp cloth. They'll look better and grow better - dust on the leaves blocks some of the light from reaching the surface, which is no good!
Potted plants need dusting every once in a while, just like anything else in the house.
Yes, that's true. A humidifier is another solution to the problem.
I bought one of those because I have eczema, and it did wonders for me and my plants!
I just stopped using it most of the time, because eventually I got so many houseplants that they keep the humidity up by themselves. I'm pretty sure this is an unusual case, though. My house is starting to look like an "interiorscape".
You probably realize you're waging an uphill battle having tropical plants that like a humid environment, which I understand well, only in reverse. I have an affinity for succulent/cactus plants that find all of the rain here downright offensive sometimes. Obviously you like these plants as much as I like my Kalanchoes, Senecios, and Crassulas, which likely bore you to tears with their ubiquitousness. The grass is always greener, right?
I'm sure, very sure that humidity, or lack thereof is a much more pressing issue in NV than steamy AL, so I'm going to stay out of that part.
That said, in addition to whatever factor low humidity might be, Dracs are known to be sensitive to the fluoride in tap water. If you are able to provide rain (I know, you live in a desert, that would be occasional,) distilled, or condensate from an A/C, those are sources of water without fluoride, chlorination, lime, or any of the other substances that make their way into tap. Maybe not every time you water, but any time you could, it would help. Most of these substances are not able to evaporate if water is left sitting, though letting any water reach room temp before using for plants is always a good idea regardless of its' source, whenever possible.
From the presence of the drip tray under the pot, looks like there's a hole in the bottom of the pot. If you are able, taking the plant to a sink so you can pour copious amounts of water on/through it, can help prevent a build-up of any substances that might be offensive, from tap water, fertilizer, whatever. Maybe not every time you water, but the more the better.
Has it been in the same pot for a long time?

Uninformed cops are not bad cops
There aren't just two categories--good cops and bad cops--there are also uninformed cops. I'm talking about uninformed about natural law, natural rights and our Constitution. Uninformed cops are NOT bad cops. They just haven't had the truthful information about natural law presented to them. I have every confidence in cops doing their job when they are educated about where rights come from and what the real restrictions of the Constitution are.
Why don't we focus on making sure our local officers are informed about the Constitution, natural rights, and then introduce them to Oathkeepers. That is the way to earn the trust of many "liberty minded" citizens.

my tension wheel is not releasing
i'm having trouble with my singer (old model...). i think it's a tension issue -- it certainly originates with the tension wheel. basically, when i finish a seam, put the needle in the highest position and lift the foot, the thread doesn't pull out like it should. the tension is set appropriately but it seems the tension mechanism is looser than usual (and with 3 kids under 5 running around, loose sewing machine parts are very likely...).
anyway, i'm planning on taking it to my local repair shop but if you guys have any insight in doing some home repair, i'd appreciate it.
Is there any bits of lint anywhere around the dial? If there are discs the thread goes between perhaps there is something caught there. On my mother's old Singer 401 she had tightened the screw that held the mechanism on so tight you couldn't get the thread to feed. Is there any screw to tighten or loosen? Give your library a call and ask for a book on machine repair I have used a good one called "How to adjust and repair your own sewing machine " by Arthur W. Smith (amazon has it - but I borrowed mine from the library) It is wonderful and gives parts and numbers of many older machines..and is worth a look at. Request it from another library if nothing else. A trip to the repair place may happen anyway, but I'd delay until seeing if you can locate a book or someone else comes up with a suggestion. Budster
thank you so much for the info! i'm going to go dig up my manual and futz around with it this evening.
there's not a great deal of lint, but i've got a dust remover for my computer (pressurized air thing) that i'm going to use to clean out any excess. there is a screw but i'm hesitant to fool with it b/c i know that wasn't messed with before. anyway, i'll check if my library has that book and will see what i can do.
thanks again!

MTAS (medical training application service) was demonstrated to be insecure from at least 9am 25/4/2007. This meant that extremely personal data including criminal records, sexual preferences, phone numbers, addresses and more were all accessible on line to anyone who had the URL address. The URL was insecure and no one is quite sure how long the data was available, while MTAS claim they do not even know how many people have downloaded the deeply personal information. The DoH was then informed of this problem and managed to shut the security breach. As usual no one from the government or DoH could be bothered to appear on the channel 4 news. The serious nature of this breach could lead to criminal charges and the Information Commissioners office is on the case. Junior Doctors organisations had already warned the DoH of potential security problems with MTAS, it seems these warnings were not heeded. The potential identity theft and data theft is yet another thing for junior doctors to have to worry themselves over during this stressful period. John Snow, the legend that he is, offered the cowardly Patricia Hewitt an open invitation to appear on the Channel 4 news. It seems standard practice these days for Labour politicians to resemble hermits when it comes to appearing in the media. Instead Andrew Lansley appeared and pointed out several glaring examples of failings as regards the DoH, Hewitt and MTAS. He also said 'Hewitt will go'. The next item before I switched off the box was yet another example of Blair's overtly unaccountable and corrupt regime. Blair is refusing to investigate intelligence leaks about anti-terrorism operations that 'could have cost lives'. It's yet another example of corruption in this nontransparent government. Could it be that the leaks are deliberate in an attempt to whip up a certain level of fear in the public? Blair's attempts to prevent this being investigated make this appear to be the case. Blair and his cronies have well and truly lost the plot. They are demonstrating a genuine contempt for the democratic process on a daily basis, as well as incompetence of unprecedented levels. I have had enough.

I just got my L85, FS2000, M60 shells a few days ago.
I had a chance this evening to gut out the full metal L85 and do some test fitting. It's only 50% done right now. This thing probably weighs about 12-14 lbs Things to do: Create trigger linkage Create a bracket to hold the receiver in place Gut out AR15 magpul pmag Secure the quad rail Add a muzzle Add a M60 style bipod
I'll gut out the FS2000 this weekend to put in a Ruger 10/22. The FS2000 has strong plastic and thick walls. I will likely add my own tri rails to it later on.
