My contractor is trying to talk me out
of putting in another spigot that shoots out that hot water. Not in
this lifetime. I'd rather get rid of the microwave than the hot water
dispenser. I use it for a LOT of stuff. Iced tea is one of those
things.

I can't imagine why he (or she) is against it. People seem
to love those things, I've never had one. I'd consider it.
What's the argument?

His reasoning is:

1) They only last 3-4 years (this one is 8 years old and is leaking under
the cabinets but still works)
2) They can be messy and expensive if they break down, which he says they
will. If they leak, they can ruin your cabinets (which this one is
doing).

I read both of your replies, got it. I waited so long to get a new
kitchen, I can't have stuff leaking and ruining them. The sink
cabinet is lined with a piece of vinyl flooring. They sell small rolls
specifically for that purpose. If I'm having problems with leaking,
which I have had with the pipes on occasion, there is a small basin
under the pipes. I take no chances.

That's one reason I don't want water or ice cubes from my
refrigerator, all I need is one more leaky setup threat. But that's
another story.

Wayne, I have seen people drill holes in stainless sinks to accomodate
some new thing. For whatever reason, I thought you got a stainless
sink. Just a thought.
