It seems like NO online website wants to provide actual dimensions for their product...
Bippidy-boppidly fun videos are fun but they don't provide any actual information.


Went to Menards today.
Couldn't find anything that would work and looked good. All the bathroom faucets extended about 3-5" long and I need a ~9" to get anywhere near the center of the sink.
A 4" long faucet would spray onto the edge of the sink and countertop.
Not very practical..
I don't need a two foot tall square tower pillar. Don't need a recessed handle. Don't need a half dozen different brands all offering the exact same styles and colors.


Went to Lowes.
-Haven't been there in a while since every single time they were out of basic items such a deck screws and washers. Last fall they were out of gutter leaf protectors and stopped selling outdoor storage boxes. In fall. C'mon now, really? Seasonal products ring any bell? Bueller?

-The last time I went to that Lowes there was a serious "Michigan contractor man" who was on a loud but logical yelling rant to five employees about some major continuous f-up with their delivery system and use of 3rd party idiots.
He made sense from what I overheard.
(friendly word of business advice: You don't piss off the head guy in charge of purchasing for hundreds of apartments.)

-First thing I get through the Lowes door is a big guy, standing center of the walkway, elbows out, who demands "Help you with something?" That's how you say it to someone walking up your drive in the middle of the night. Wow. I've got three properties paid in full, three vehicles, five bank accounts. Did I not pass the dress code?

-Go to to the Lowes faucet isle and found at least three that might work, but I kept getting distracted and annoyed. There was a 12" security camera pad with my face on it that kept ringing off loudly every ten to twenty seconds. "DING" "DING" "DING" "DING". Every single time I moved it would go off like some Pavlovian experiment. Going through TSA is less intrusive.

-I make a complaint to the Lowes manager, a plump young hipster type with colored hair. and buttery soft hands. Definitely a personal history of building there. She tells me they've had a problem with theft. Obviously customers are shoving sinks and faucets into their pockets and walking out the front door. I tell her I'm a professional model and charge a million bucks per image. I want them to erase all my video record. Oh, and uh CYA.

I don't want a plain jane kitchen faucet from the local hardware store, but that may happen. Geesh.
