It looks like one of those faucets that you can pull out and use as a handheld. That's probably why they put that type in, so they can rinse the other sink out.

It is one of those things that as soon as someone moves in and realizes what is going on, they call the lame *** HI and start whinning.

Yes indeed! It is a hand spray for the prep sink.
Two position-full flood or full spray.
Make sure that the weight is present so that it will retract properly.
Twice in new construction (out of five) they were not added.
The joint is about 3" from the base of the arm.

I have one almost exactly like that, except the spray nozzle is different.. The other thing is the spray is on the right and faucet to the left.. which is where it should be. So you can run water on both sides of the sink. The pressure, that's another issue. What do I win?

Maybe they just wanted to keep the sink divider clean.

I was looking through some websites and I think that they probably have the wrong faucet installed as the base of this one would extend inappropriately over the basin on this type of sink. They must have placed it in the incorrect hole because of this rather than purchasing an appropriate faucet.

See the sink on the right: http://www.luxuryplumbingplus.com/Sh...tainless-Steel

Another hmmm.
When I reported a leak from a second story shower, in a tub/shower, the realtor and the seller both assured me that no one uses the the second story shower, and that anyone wanting a shower would use the stall shower on the ground floor. I was dumfounded.

Good Lord! No one uses the second story shower? In THEIR family! They don't think maybe the buyer might want the OPTION of using the second shower?

Amazing!

I just talked to someone who used the inspector that the REALTOR recommended.

They ended up buying a house with no ventilation, only into the attic, drenched insulation, black mold throughout the house, false drop down ceiling to hide moisture issues, slumping house in the corner, water everywhere, water stains painted over above all the windows upstairs, new carpet laid OVER the trim and when lifted (easy because not tacked down) found mold and sopping wet subflooring...it goes on and on.

The inspector that was referred by the realtor?

Used a checklist along the lines of A NA R ? and then Roof with a checkmark in the appropriate box. There was NO information included along with the report. Nothing stating what room or system was being discussed, no mention of moisture, mold, lack of GFCI's, failing roof, no gutters downspouts, etc...etc...

These people have three little girls and they are ALL sick! They just moved in two weeks ago, and they have to stay in a hotel now. Grrrrrrrrrrr......
