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.

I understand your fear. I've been exceedingly lucky. Never in any house
I've owned have I had any kind of leakage problem, kitchen or baths. If I
had, I would be suitably fearful.

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.

You're right, it is SS, and it could be drilled or punched for the fixture.
But you know how those things go...rememebering that you want to do it,
then finding someone to do it, then getting it done. :-) I know I was
supposed to post kitchen pictures, but my digital camera has been ill, and
I have to either replace it or get it fixed. Another one of those
"things". One of these days... :-)
