Young House Love » Giveaways » Fab Freebie: Easily Turned On

Fab Freebie: Easily Turned On

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***

So you saw me install this puppy earlier today, and just as we promised we’re back to give you a shot at winning one of your own. The Delta Pilar kitchen faucet with Touch 2O Technology is pretty much any DIY-lover or enthusiastic chef’s best friend because, just as the commercial below demonstrates, you can wash paint, dirt, eggs, chicken goo or any other home-improvement or cooking related mess off of your hands without ever getting it on your purdy fixture.

We’ve actually had ours installed for a week now and I’ve found it extremely helpful even when doing simple tasks like the dishes (yes, I’m usually in charge of the dishes, but Sherry vacuums so it’s pretty fair around here). Rather than having to reach over to turn the handle on and off, I can interrupt the water by just quickly tapping the spout anywhere, and the technology’s even smart enough to know when you’re gripping the faucet to move it (as we do from basin to basin in our double sink) so it doesn’t interpret that maneuver as an on/off trigger. Consider us impressed.

For more info about how this baby works and how we got it installed, check out this morning’s post (and don’t forget to read through the comments where we address pretty much every detail that you can think of). And if you’re dying to get your grubby mitts on one of them, here’s how:

  • PRIZE: A Delta Pilar Pull-Down faucet with Touch 2O Technology in the finish of your choice (chrome or stainless)
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “TOUCH ME” and…
  • BONUS QUESTION: …spill the beans about some of your personal turn offs when it comes to the opposite sex. Poor hygiene? Too full of themselves? Obsessed with his or her chihuahua? Spill it –  but let’s try to keep things PG-ish if we can.
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, February 10th at 8pm EST
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: Anywhere in North America
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

    Touch Me! I honestly couldn’t tell you my turn-offs anymore because I’ve been with my husband long enough to forget them. Maybe not being a football fan? It’s something that my husband and I value in our relationship and I don’t think I’d be able to get along with another guy who can’t talk sports with me.

    I think my faucet knew this giveaway was coming and decided to start misbehaving! Perfect timing!

    Turn Offs: guys who wear far to much cologne/body spray. If I am gasping for fresh air there is no way I am focusing on what are probably the really great qualities you do have.

    The thing that turns me off in the opposite sex is low self confidence. Closely followed by name dropping and bragging about how much money they have, what kind of car they drive, etc.

    I can’t generalize, but the one thing that bugs me the most about my wonderful husband is that he just doesn’t notice when things get dirty around the house – I feel like I’m built with a “scary looking things are growing in the shower” or “every dish we own is dirty in the sink” radar and he just isn’t :)

My husband and I bought an older house (1923) a few months before we got married in 2009. We’ve spent the last few months reading your blog and fixing up our (not so young) house we love. Thanks!!

    Love this new faucet! It’s ingenius of Delta to make it so easy to use with just a tap! If only other things in my kitchen could work like that.

    Not a fan of the beer belly — not very attractive and can lead to many health issues. It shows that the guy doesn’t care about his health or well being and I can’t have that!

    I get annoyed with the “trail” my husband leaves behind. I know if he’s been in a room b/c he’ll leave something behind. Shoes, socks, hat, cup, dirty plate, etc. You get the picture.

    Thanks for your earlier post on this fab faucet and its installation. I was so impressed with your walk-through that I fancied that even I (the domestic idiot par excellence) might be able to install it myself.

    As to opposite-sex turn-offs: easy. Someone who, after the first fifteen minutes of a first date, has not asked the other person a single question. Why is it that this is a malady more likely to affect men? hmmmmmm.

    Thanks for the giveaway and, of course, TOUCH ME.
