You know, I've never seen granite with a lip that hangs down lower than the rest of the slab (assuming I'm understanding you correctly). And the more I think about it, provided the granite is one solid piece, the amount of work required to put a lip on it seems staggering and kind of pointless. What's the story here? Is it actual granite, or a synthetic material?

Huh, maybe a regional thing (or, my region is the weird one for not doing it). I've removed a lot of granite countertops and never seen it done that way, regardless of edge profile. Live and learn.

Look, I don't mean to dogpile on you, because I want to see where this goes, and I respect you for listening to people here and by the sound of it, calling in a pro. Thing is, you did something silly and posted it in a forum with a thread specifically devoted to mocking that sort of thing. People are gonna give you poo poo. They'll also give you good advice. Take both with grace.

Bloody Hedgehog posted:Is this a code thing on houses built after X date or something? I've never actually sought them out, but in the all the houses I've spent significant time in, I've never seen easily accessible junction boxes. Not sure how long it's been code for, but I'd hazard a guess at 'a long time' - Anecdotally in my years of doing demo, I can count on one hand the amount of times I opened a wall/ceiling and found a junction box I wasn't expecting - Every time being in a poorly renovated basement.

I've decided my favorite part of all this is that the thread has now been linked to in the CineD gen chat thread. Cinephiles are taking a break from discussing Bergman films to laugh at this. 'Bergman's use of light and shadows in this scene really serves to illuminate - if you will allow me the pun - the dichotomy of ----- wait, what? He cut into the engineered joist?? To lower it by how much??'

I knew a guy who framed every wall with a double sill plate so he didn't need to find studs while installing baseboard. I'm not saying it's a reasonable solution, but every time I'm installing baseboard, I wish he had framed the wall.

Goddamn guys, beatmaster is playing 4th dimensional chess, and we're all about to feel real silly about giving him grief over the tub. The constant flow of water in his infinity edge tub is intended to keep the motion activated lights from turning off while he's soaking!!

Stainless does have a reputation for getting finger-printy, but I really never found it particularly hard to manage. I don't have kids though, so my kitchens have always been a bit cleaner as a default anyway. Our new appliances are GE's slate line, and they have an appearance similar to stainless, but don't get smudgy at all. Very nice.
