So, Eric's parents are completely redoing their kitchen, among other things to update their home. I must say they are replacing some really nice things that we thought we could use to "update" ours. For starters, Eric thought it would be a great idea to take their enameled cast iron sink. Don't get me wrong, the sink is NICE, but Eric seemed to think it would be a walk in the park....I had other ideas, but we won't go there just yet. After spending a little over an hour to get our stainless steel sink out, fighting with the "oh so gross" garbage disposal, we were ready to install our new sink.
Here is our new sink, upside down on the hole it should fit in. Can I just tell you, there is nothing light about cast iron. Mrs. Currie tried to warn me not to lift it, but I thought, "what the heck...I am young...I can do it..." Yes I can, but not too many times!! After realizing we had to cut the copper pipes from the new sink, and we had the wrong size pipe cutter, we made a trip to Home Depot. Not to mention, a very yummy pit stop at Smithfields Chicken and Barbeque for dinner!
We get back home, get the adhesive layed out and flip the sink over....gosh that sounds so easy now! Let me tell you, that is the last time I will lift anything cast iron, for a while any way. Here comes the fun part! What is supposed to be the easy part....getting it all hooked up underneath. After 3 hours of struggling with compression fittings..........we're calling a plumber.....tomorrow!!
So, here is our new sink, stuck to the countertop, just not functioning so much right now! Know of any good plumbers??? I have a new respect for plumbers and now know why they charge $70/hr! However, KUDOS to my husband who did a wonderful job and kept a killer attitude the whole way through!
And we are going to install our own hardwood floors one day soon?!?!?
