The Kitchen Sink

Been awhile since we've done any home improvement projects. I think last year kinda kicked our butts and it was nice to take a break. HOWEVER, we had some good friends over one night for dinner and one of them brought to our attention the leaky faucet in our kitchen sink. I had been ignoring it, plumbing is such a pain in the butt. He said if we continue to let it go, it will start leaking underneath and then it will be a huge mess.


Well...we ignored it for about 3 more weeks, and then last weekend I asked Andy if we could replace the faucet. He agreed, it was time. So, he YouTubed the project and asked me if I would also like to replace the sink...I think I said YES before he got the last word out of his mouth.

So, here it is: Pictures of our kitchen sink/faucet replacement project!

#1 Breaking the seal along the edge of the old sink. This was not easy...even cracked some of the countertop laminent. Bummer.

#2 Pulling out the old basin

#3 The empty space
