- the existing sink weighed like 75 lbs and Matt had to use a car jack to get it out
- the stainless steel sink we got to replace it didn't fit in the hole in our granite
- the 2nd sink we bought didn't fit in the whole either
- the 3rd sink we brought home fit in the hole - yes! but it was bowed and didn't lay flat
- the 4th sink we brought home layed flat, but was dirty and chipped (a return maybe?)
- the 5th sink - yes FIFTH sink - was the charm! And the most expensive - of course
So now we have a new sink in and it only took about 2 1/2 weeks to complete the project! Everytime we do this kind of thing we swear to hire a handy man for "next time."

I was bloghopping and came across your blog...This post cracks me up! We are in the home project phase still and let me tell you I can relate! At least sink #5 is BEAUTIFUL...Glad it all worked out in the end.

GB and Hoyden -
I can certainly relate! It was a lot of work but doesn't it feel GREAT once it's done? It certainly looks GREAT!
That post cracks me up! The 5th sink looks great!
You are preaching to the choir sister. Don't you just love how a "little project" turns into a freakin nightmare. Good times. But the sink looks great!
Well it looks good! We don't do home improvements anymore... we hire out, it ends up costing us more in the long run when we try to do it ourselves. It might have taken a while but it looks great and it works!
