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.

    I always found those sink grates cumbersome to clean. Endlessly catching niblets of food and festering on the underside. Then I realized I could pressure wash them and it’s made things far easier for me.

      What’s the deal with that grate anyway? Never seen those in a sink before. Why is it there in the first place?

      Yah, my wife wants it in there. I imagine she’ll figure it out eventually. I just keep my mouth shut.

        Prevents scuffing of the sink and allows you to maintain a diverse cooking space microbiome both fed by and evolving from the last several weeks of food you’ve dumped in the sink. Do you like dripping salmonella onto everything from your sink to your cook top? This is the product for you. And did I mention that it smells?

        Really, it’ll prevent chipping of ceramics and denting of metal but it’s a comprehensively worse experience compared to going without. And pressure washing the plaque off is the simplest way to clean it that I’ve found. Bleh
