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.
ahh. I love me some krauss sink. I recently installed one as well but mine is a double with a very think and low profile divider (Standart pro 33 double). I kept my old Pfister faucet that that hasn’t quite needed to be replaced yet so as soon as that needs replacing because of hard water, I’ll replace it with a kraus faucet as well. The grate at the bottom seems to be designed well enough that it’s not been as big of a problem as I would have expected to be so mine is still there. Def looks gorgeous.
I’m really down on the Kohler right now. Last 2 taps I’ve gotten have been Kohler and they’ve both gone to hell rather quickly. Last one the switch between flow and spray would stay in the middle position so you’d have to hold it in one or the other if you wanted either to run at full flow. One before that lasted about a year before it started to drip. IDK, I think they’ve just enshittified to the point I don’t want to bother trying to get a return on warranty. I’d have gotten that Costco kit if it wasn’t Kohler.
I just went on Wayfair and found a 16g sink I liked the looks of, seems well built. It’s certainly sturdy, way heavier than the one I took out.
