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!

    Hmmmm….I don’t really get that annoyed with the opposite sex. However, every once in a while I encounter a blatant sexist, and they are a real turn-off. Men who only judge a woman by her appearance, especially.

    Tough Me!

    Turn off: A guy who is too full of himself. Before I married the love of my life, I went on a (singular) date with a guy who repeatedly reminded me that he had only 1-3% body fat as opposed to me who he guessed at about 20%!
    I wish I could have turned his mouth off as easily as this faucet! hahaha

    I just can not stand when my husband leaves the kitchen cabinets open after he gets a glass or plate. It drives me crazy. So I made up a little song “open it close it” (in a school teachery soft voice) and sing it every time I see it open instead of wanting to scream :)

    TOUCH ME! The biggest turn-off in my opinion is a guy with no confidence in himself. Too much confidence is a bad thing too. But have a little faith in yourself and people will naturally be attracted to you!

    My personal turnoff would be someone who doesn’t share the same set of values as I do. It is a huge part of a marriage and you need to make sure you’re on the same page if you want your marriage to last.

    thinking about home improvement, the main thing that drives me nuts is when i am forced to wait to start a project until my husband is available to “help” me. for some reason men often think that they are more qualified in the home improvement department, even though they often have no idea what they are doing themselves. lol.

    It really irks me when my husband trims his goatee and then there are ton of little teeny tiny hairs all over the bathroom counter, but he swears he “cleaned it up.” Yah, I must of have that mess when I trimmed my goatee.

    My turn off: insincerity. If you apologize, mean it. If you’re listening, pay attention. If you pay me a complement, be sweet and specific. If you can manage the sincerity gig, I’m all yours! Just ask my husband. ;)

    Turn-off = cutting me off when I’m talking. If he spends a lot more time on what he wants to say than on listening that’s a deal-breaker, as Liz Lemon would say.
