My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Island outlets

13 years ago
Does this Island have any electrical outlets? I thought per code there must be accessible electrical outlets - I'm trying to do a waterfall and being asked to have external outlets, which completely destroys the look. How did you get around that requirement?

    Yes, the legs were hollow and that is how we were able to hide them.

      They are in the "leg" of the waterfall.

      Hi, I was wondering how where you able to hide the outlet in the leg. Is the counter top waterfall hallow? Or is the boxed of the outlet outside the leg hidden in a corner? Thank you. C.

      I love the idea of hiding the outlet in the leg of the waterfall! You did it so well that I can't see them. :) Are they on the stool side of the leg?
