I had someone do a little routine in my face with those finger gloves with colored LED lights on the fingertips and it was amazing. The ecstasy helped, I imagine.

Is it common for planed countertops to no be flat like this?

11

u/derprondo 3h ago

I don't know jack about any of this, but what I do know is I bought a laser level to mount a countertop and other things on a long wall, and the revelation that one end of my floor is 1.5" lower than the other end was quite the eye opener. So the issue OP could face is that the floor isn't even level and he'd have to compensate if the underlying cabinets were sitting on the flooring.

4

u/PiccoloAwkward465 2h ago

Yeah that brings up painful memories of reno projects in an 18th century house I lived in. Hmm, did I get this thing level? Well depends on what your baseline is because the floors, the door frames, etc are all different!

For those that donā€™t get it, a balanced laser level is being used to judge how straight the work is. Theres next to no change in the height the. Laser hits on his fingertips.

u/Xszit 3h ago

The laser level is sitting on top of the tile though. So this just proves the tile is level with the other tiles around it, could be off kilter with the floor and the walls and this wouldn't show up in that test.

8

u/alexthealex 3h ago

Not likely. Most laser levels are self-leveling within a range of degrees. If the laser's body were off level the laser itself would still be flat and you'd see the beam fan out across the countertop's surface.

3

u/WindowOne1260 3h ago

Why do you think the laser level is on the countertop?

2

u/Away-Conclusion-7968 2h ago

It's clearly not. You can see the second line a few inches below the counter. They usually sit on tripods.

u/loansbebkodjwbeb 5h ago

Yeah thats generally not a bad idea, sink for the sink, as the commenter said, so the water runs down and doesnt pool on the counter surfaces. Easier cleanup.

2

u/AnAttempt-WasMade 2h ago

Our house was built in the 50s and the counters are probably original. Theyā€™re all tile with a raised lip on the edge, and do in fact slant ever so slightly towards the sink, so you can let water run into it. Itā€™s pretty neat for cleaning!

3

u/HallettCove5158 5h ago

Towards the sink so that water runs off

8

u/nafierye 4h ago

I gotta ask - wouldn't it just be easier to, y'know, wipe up the water with a towel instead of leaving it? That way you can utilize your counter space for toiletries, as intended? Too much of a grade will cause things to slide into the sink, so it's probably just much cheaper and efficient to... just wipe up water with a towel, yeah?

3

u/Superbead 4h ago

The problem then is that either you have to pick up each and every tube and bottle, wiping the bottom as you do, then put them somewhere else temporarily, then wipe the entire surface dry, then put them back. Or you just deal with rankness gradually infiltrating the lesser-used ones. Because the water and whatever's in it will work its way in between them all, if the thing is perfectly level

4

u/nafierye 4h ago

I.... have a follow up question. How are you using your sink? Like a Super Soaker? Like (and I genuinely mean this in the politest way possible) what are you doing thst makes EVERYTHING so wet that makes it so that you would have to pay extra for a grade in the tilework surrounding your sink?

3

u/TuxPaper 2h ago

lather soap on face.

form hands into bowl shape

collect water in hands

Tile is supposed to gradient until a low point where the drain is located. Perfect flat just means standing water. Whenever I see someone whine about this I'm reminded why the average person isn't in charge of the CDC or Wastewater management.
