I heard that somehow they shift the responsibility onto the inspector. Not sure if that's true here or not. I sure hope these people get some justice. The youngest daughter and the dad are sleeping in a hotel tonight.

It's also possible the soap dispenser can be relocated to the right hand hole in the sink, and the faucet moved to the left </IMG>

John figured it out. I have almost the exact same faucet with a sink with a fourth hole in the flange. Its for soap dispensers or other items, as in our case a water filter spout. They got their "holes" mixed up and that is never a good thing.

What about the base portion though? The long portion down at the bottom. It looks like it would overlap if it was moved to the otherside. That's what confused me.

This looks to be the same type I installed a little while ago. There are only two holes for the sink..one for the single lever faucet and the other hole for a sprayer or soap dispenser or even a hot water dispenser. However if this is the case they have an incorrect faucet. The faucet I had installed did not have an elongated base plate. It has a round base. The faucet was also where the soap dispenser is. were you able to underneath the cabinet to see how many holes there were?

That's what I was saying earlier. It has to be the wrong faucet due to the base plate. It's the only answer. So they put the faucet in the wrong hole to keep the baseplate from extending out over the sink.
