Bi metal home saw

Dunno.

We bought a tap that has regular hot and cold waterline + an integrated line for filtered water.

Whoops, missed that, shouldn't be an issue so long as the flange is pushed right up against the bottom of the counter then

Exploitative healthcare system aside, were popcorn ceilings used in other parts of the world?

I think this is smart. Find the spec sheet on your sink. It will be on the manufacturer’s website. That will provide the exact measurements on where your hole is located

Completely agree. Got into one of these before I knew what troubles laid ahead. Ended up borrowing a hammer drill with a special bit. If I remember still to quite a while to get through.

The side brackets are certainly the primary support, but the sink would also have been attached to the countertop with an adhesive. I suspect you’ll be fine to drill, though if that sink has a warranty, drilling through it will void it.

Thanks. I will add that to the notes of the project.

It's from the previous owner. Probably DIY. If you see the rust on the caulking bead, could it be soap gunk? I guess how can we tell if all the seal joints have failed?

Thanks.

Hello, fellow American!

I've actually did this in a bathroom, we were there for 4yrs and never had a problem with the film.

Thanks! You made me remember, I used a drywall router bit the first time around years ago!

If you made the mistake of greasing the tracks....grease gets really thick in cold weather. This will confuse the opener into thinking it's hit an obstacle. The tracks need to be clean/dry.

Probably. Our place is mid 70s as well as there's asbestos in everything.

Yes and no. You can buy wood at Home Depot, of course, but you'll always have to cut and shape it and work it yourself. That's the "DIY" in "DIY" :P

Not necessarily. Asbestos was banned in the late 1980s for sale, but it still could've been used if a contractor had stock. So while your comment can be true, it is not entirely accurate.

The TV mount that I just installed on a brick wall required 3/8" holes for the anchors.

My point wasn't that it won't look good. My point was that if ever you decide you want a flat roof or some other texture, removing the popcorn becomes a real PIA after it's been painted. OP specifically made a comment about removing the popcorn later. If that's in the cards at all, they should not paint it.

I'm also guessing OP will be rolling and not spraying which will possibly have poorer results. Rolling an uneven surface can be tricky and may not work well.

Also since I don't see it mentioned if you try and do anything but spray unpainted popcorn ceilings you will be scraping and removing them anyway.

Trying to brush or roll unpainted popcorn ceilings will start removing and or relocating the texture on the ceiling ruining it.

Yeah unfortunately in the states we don't have many laws based on common sense.

Ok but this part is important.

If its a laminate countertop only drill from the top down.

Drilling from bottom up WILL break loose large chunks of laminate.

Use a drill bit and go through the center of the premade hole, then from the top align the drill bit in the center of the hole saw with that hole. You could also use a plunge router if you have one after drilling the alignment hole.
