    Do you like that rack you have over the sink? I saw one for sale recently and found it intriguing.

      I’ve had one for about 3 years. Absolutely amazing if you wash dishes by hand to any extent. I’m part of a large family so we usually have a dishwasher load plus some extras. Also frees up counter space that would normally have the drying rack full of dishes. My only suggestion is make sure to measure the width of your sink. They come in a variety of configurations and sizes.

      Not OP, but I’ve got one, and I love it. It’s a great place to let larger dishes drip dry.

      I do. But get it as cheap as you can. There’s Assholes drop shipping it on Facebook for like $134.99. I think I paid no more than $35.

          It’s probably more common in places outside of the US.

    We just installed that same faucet recently too; we ended up not using the little arm thing so it’s kinda annoying but otherwise it’s been a nice upgrade.

      New sink is needed, but not currently in the budget. The faucet is a life-changer. I love it more than words can express. In the dullest possible sense.

        What’s the deal with the metal frame contraption surrounding your sink?

          It’s a dish drying rack. I think I posted about it back when I got it.

            That’s actually clever, it looks like it will drip dry into the plumbed sink. I’ll think about this every time I wipe the pool of water on my counter.

            I bought one after seeing a post on Lemmy. Saves a ton of space in our tiny kitchen!

      What’s wrong with dual sinks? I miss mine a lot, when I moved to my current apartment we got a single instead, and it’s quite limiting as far as washing dishes goes.

        I dislike my dual sink because I can’t fit my big cutting boards or cast iron rectangular griddle in it. At least, not without them propped up on the center divider, making water splash everywhere.

          I see! My last double sink was something like 1/4-3/4 in dimensions between the sub-sinks, giving me no issues with washing the larger items. My current one is too small for comfort, really, but I just can’t justify replacing it while it’s functioning fine.

      Waiting for them to arrive. I didn’t know what was under the faucet deck plate until I removed it.

        You can get soap dispensers that fit in those holes. Might be good for the one on the left.

            Just make sure if there’s a dishwasher line under the sink that they don’t touch the soap dispenser. Hot water over time will melt the dispenser open. Id tell you more but it’s not a very dull story so you’ll have to use your imagination
