When I was in school I had a portable one, but it was basically the same size as a regular one you just to roll it over to the sink and connect it when you wanted to use it. I didn't know they made them so small they can sit on the counter like that. That's much easier. I let the dirty dishes pile up, sometimes so much that I couldn't fit everything into the dishwasher at once. I was very busy with school, but when it comes to housework I can be extremely lazy.
Yes, been needing to get away. PNW maybe the last week or two before school lets out?
I have a 50th birthday coming up--renting a venue and hiring a band. May 26 tentative date. Will know for sure this week.
We brought two bottles back from Nica a couple of weeks ago.
We had the second of our three "Design Studio" appointments today for our new house. Today's was four hours. We brought wine (they seemed surprised). Anyway, one of my favorite options today was to put a button next to the sink to start the garbage disposal "so that you don't have to open the bottom cabinet every time you run the disposal." I did think we could handle leaning down to open a cabinet door every time instead. Savings: $520. SCORE!
Funny, this is the first house I've ever owned where you have to bend down and open the cabinet to turn on the garbage disposal. I'm thinking of having my electrician move it.We brought two bottles back from Nica a couple of weeks ago.

Oh! By the way! My mom says that HGTV gives away a house every year(?), and this year the house is in Gig Harbor.
I would have bought the button, and I would have insisted they put 3 buttons there. If it has 3 buttons on it, you know it’s really cool.We brought two bottles back from Nica a couple of weeks ago.

You never replied to my posts about this... Is this a Builder special (sounds like it, given the "design studio"), or working directly with a scarf?We brought two bottles back from Nica a couple of weeks ago.

Seriously never heard of this. Every disposal I've ever seen has a wall switch near the sink. Even the house I grew up in that was built in 1969.Plus, what kind of savage has to bend down and open a cabinet to turn on the disposal?
I was thinking the same thing. I live in a crappy townhouse that's probably the size of what krista's new naan oven will be and even I have a disposal switch on the wall. Why in the world would it be in the cabinet and how is that $500 cheaper than putting it on the wall?
My assumption was that it was put in after the house was built and someone was too lazy to run the wire properly.
Yep. A lot of plumbers don't like going through stone or tile. It can double or triple the price of the install. And I guess you could argue that its safer, since you won't mistake it for the overhead light switch when you're trying to dig your potscrubber out of the sink hole.
I'm assuming it's because they have a septic field rather than city sewage line. However, this doesn't mean you can't have a disposal, it just means you have to be careful about how much you put down there and be sure not to put certain things.
Never had to bend down and flip a switch under the sink. It's always been wired to a light switch next to the sink.krista4 said:We brought two bottles back from Nica a couple of weeks ago.

She said they could handle opening the cabinet so she opted out of the wall switch. Thus the savings.El Floppo said:
If you wear your scarf around your face instead of your neck you will look more mysterious.
Builder. No scarf. Thanks for the offer to answer questions!El Floppo said:You never replied to my posts about this... Is this a Builder special (sounds like it, given the "design studio"), or working directly with a scarf?
As with any of you- if you have questions, please feel free.

Have a button installed under the sink and when you want to run the disposal, give it a bump with your crotch.Builder. No scarf. Thanks for the offer to answer questions!
Reading through all this, I am thinking I might have to change my mind and pay for the switch to be moved. I'm not a savage or a homesteader.
