Sink's Done


As I noted last week, we've been in the middle of project to replace the kitchen sink. Actually, with the exception of some painting, the project is finished and the kitchen is fully operational. The whole deal—from disconnecting the old sink to opening the tap on the new sink—took 10 days and cost just a little more than $4,000. We're really happy with it. It is a serious upgrade from the grungy old situation that we had. In addition to the new sink, we added a disposal and a dishwasher to the set-up. In one week, we jumped from the 19th century to the 21st. (I won't name names in this post, but the little local contractor that we hired to run the job does very nice work. Call me if you're looking for somebody.)

  1. Does he travel to Fruit Heights? Ha ha. Looks awesome. Our dishwasher is starting to go out, so it looks like I'll be doing some kitchen repairs, too. Luckily, I have an extra dishwasher sitting in the garage awaiting an install (my wife's parents got a new one and gave us their perfectly-working version).

    1. You don't need a contractor, Jess. I've seen you do some pretty complicated plumbing on your own. Replacing a dishwasher should be easy for someone with your skills (and appetite for risk).
