As previously noted, we've decided to remodel the kitchen, at least in part, this summer. This past week, we had our cabinets refaced, and the counter tops and sink replaced, by Home Depot Home Services. The worker (it only took one) came out Tuesday and Wednesday and did the work, up to, but not including making the sink work again. Apparently, since he was a carpenter and not a plumber, he's not allowed to hook up the sink per some sort of rule, law or ordinance. No matter. Last night, Amy's parents came down, and my father-in-law walked me through installing the sink, from installing the faucet, to caulking and clipping the sink, to attaching the garbage disposal and drain. And guess what? It all works, and doesn't leak! Woo-hoo! So, we're two-thirds the way through this summer's phase of our kitchen remodel. All we have left for this summer is paint, which is still a problem because, as previously noted, we're not terribly gifted in color selection. I'll post before and after pictures once the painting is complete and this phase is done. Stay tuned...
Thanks again, Ed, for helping me get the sink installed and working!

Glad to hear things are progressing nicely. Weird on that whole not installing the sink thing. Sometimes people just don't listen. I'd almost want to call the Home Depot peeps to find out if that was actually the case or if it was that the dude just didn't feel like or didn't know how to install it

Actually, we were told by the salesman who sold us the kitchen remodeling that the worker could not install the sink because he wasn't a plumber. We could have had HD send out a plumber, but that would have just cost more, and it didn't turn out to be that hard after all...
