A kitchen with quartz countertop is looking to replace a 36 inch range with a 30 inch. Any suggestions how to fill the gap in the counter?
https://www.amazon.com/Lindas-Essentials-Silicone-Stove-Gap-Covers-Stove-Guard/dp/B07WX16Z34/ this one is on sale for the next few hours, but you get the idea. make sure it'll bridge three inches on either side.

Thinking about installing an under-cabinet lighting system. Has anyone here done this? Specifically curious about how to wire it.
LED rope, low voltage convertor at one end with an outlet, youtube should be your friend on this

I'm looking to get a power washer on prime day. I have a 2 story house with vinyl siding. What specs should I be looking for? I don't want a gas one.
Thanks

LED strip, and defuser is what you mean?

Can buy premade but diy is significantly cheaper. Wled for the software is a good option

I have this Peerless sink faucet: P299628LF and it needs a new cold water cartridge. The manual says it's part RP101864. But I can't find this for sale anywhere. How can I determine an alternative compatible cartridge?

Not sure about the others but pretty sure general plumbing supply is... they have a store in the middle of lakewood.
Unless you meant that the website is a fake.

No I couldn't find it. I ended up replacing the faucet. I'm not upset about it - replacing a faucet cartridge is a task I don't wish on my worst enemy.

You like a two-handle faucet or a special reason you need it?

Not answering for Euclid. I personally prefer two handles. It reduces the risk of turning on hot water on shabbos
(I also vaguely remember reading that one handle always lets out some of each hot/cold however little. I'm not sure if it's true. Never looked up how they work)

I was wondering if something like this was part of the reason. What is the issue with using hot water?

It replenishes cold water into the boiler. Causing the water to be boiled and the fire to turn on
