I’m going to change the countertops soon so I wasn’t super concientious about the caulking job.
I was a little pissy about the fact that the hold downs seem like they were designed by morons that don’t understand Newtons 3rd law, because when you tighten them, they just rotate until they’re hard against the sink wall. And the tap still uses a nut that needs a huge basin wrench instead of what I’ve seen on other taps like a nut that tightens by hand and then you just use a Philips screwdriver to tighten a couple machine screws that finish the job.
Ah well, it’s in and I get to do it all over again when I order countertops.


It looks gorgeous. I love the large single bays, it’s much easier to work in than the doubles.
I’ve wanted one for a while. I have big 24" cutting boards I use in hunting season and washed them in the bathtub because I had a shallow double basin.
How dull am I, I’m excited to wash my cutting boards in my new sink.
I’ve been eyeing that Kohler single-basin sink kit Costco sells for like half a decade now for a similar reason (minus the hunting), but haven’t pulled the trigger mainly because the whole kitchen needs renovation. Your post is inspiring; I might just go ahead and do it.
Cutting boards you use for processing your own meat that you hunted… So now I’m jealous of the sink and your hobby. I want to get into hunting too. I feel like it’s kind of a thing you need a mentor for.
There’s ways of finding people that will do that in your area, probably first step would be joining your local fish and game association. There will be lots of old farts willing to have you gut their deer for them. Choose the one that doesn’t shoot them up the asshole.
