I'm the inventor of a new product called Hy-dit. I've been working on it since Feb. 2001, and recently receive a US patent. Before I tell you what it is, I would like you to think about bathrooms. What is the most distasteful thing we have in them, and remember they’re everywhere? Our society has come to accept this disgusting item on the floor next to toilets everywhere. Have you thought of it yet? Once I tell you what it is you too will see them, and for that I apologize. You’ve seen them at you friends homes, at your office, at restaurants, and retail stores and the sad thing is they are needed now more then ever before. It’s the toilet plunger. Never before has there been a sanitary storage cabinet that recesses flush into any wall. The Hy-dit holds the toilet plunger and the toilet brush in its own little cabinet in the wall next to the toilet where it’s needed. This may sound like a simple invention, but it’s a fact that for the last 100 years since the modern toilet was introduced, there has never been a place for this trusted sidekick known as the plunger. We’ve all had embarrassing moments that if the Hy-dit were available our private moment would have remained private. I feel it is my obligation to work as hard as I can to rid our bathrooms of this filthy but necessary bath accessory and put it where it belongs forever. Maybe along the way I can save people the embarrassment of involving other people in a situation that can be resolved by the individual themselves. Whether or not this goes anywhere beyond you, I have achieved one thing. You will start seeing toilet plungers everywhere, one down millions to go.

I need help on supporting a 12" countertop overhang. My kitchen island is two sock 24 x 36 cabinets butted up together. They are typical builder particle board Lowes / Home Depot grade of cabinets. So the island length is 72" and width 24" On two adjacent sides there will be a 12" overhang. So the granite will be 84" by 36" with 3” radius corners. Picture a rectangle with a bigger rectangle hanging over it. The granite is 22/sq ft x 7’ x 3’ = 462 lbs. I am getting 3 cm Black uba tuba granite. No lip on the granite. My granite company says I am fine but can't guarentee it without support. I have done some exhaustive analysis and here is what I came up with. 3 cm granite does not need sub-counter (3/4” plywood) 1) I can get a 81" by 33" Steel sheet. Don't know if I need 3/8” or ¼”. I am concerned about the weight and appearance (no lip on granite). If I go with this which thickness do I need and how much will this weigh? 2) Korbels or metal angles. Should be 6” from end, then 40”, 72” on length. a) Korbels are big and expensive. The will be knee knockers. How to hang from cabinet. b) 8 “ metal angle. I can use some sort of oak char rail and route out the back. Cover 8 “ metal. Do I need a boad or do I have granite sit on the metal? A ¾” board would be ugly. c) metal shelf bracket. Celtic knot shown in picture. 3) I have seen people use steel bars and route them in across the top. I have not found any steel bars. I did find a stock steel shelf rail. The kind with slits in it that you wold put shelf hangers and then shelfs. The rails are about ½” wide and deep and solid on 3 sideds, It can be purchased 6 feet for about $5. I would put the U with the flat side up. And cut half inch slits in the top of the cabinets so they would lay plush. I would cut them 32” (4" short of the overhang) and lay at at 3”, 18”, 36”, 54”, and 72”. The rails would extend 8" along the long side. Not sure what to do on short 3' width side. Could probably rig the same rails or on go with a 9” overhang on that side. I am leaning towards the black shelf rail functioning as a bar. Hope you can picture this. Can I attach a picture?
