The old sink
In July '05, I replaced the Newby's kitchen sink. This is the old one after sitting outside for a day or two. The real problem is that it was rusting through by the faucet holes but it was also in generally poor shape and had shallow basins.

The old drain system
The center drain tee was causing some leaks and the extension for the dishwasher drain was problematic.

The new shutoff valves
There were no shut-off valves on the supply lines. The CPVC pipe went right to the faucet. The first thing I did was to add shut-off valves so the house water could be on while I worked on the sink.

Dale poses with the new sink. We mounted the faucet before putting the sink in. Much easier.

The new sink's basins
The new sink has deep basins of different sizes with an offset faucet mount. Only one drain basket is installed in this picture.

A flattering picture of me
Joyce tried to get a picture of my "plumber's crack" but had to settle with a shot of my thinning hair.

Scratched basin
We just couldn't get a good seal with first baskets that we tried. I tightened them until I scratched the sink and they still leaked. I bought a less fancy pair and they worked flawlessly the first time. There's probably a lesson in that...

Working sink!
After about four or five nights of work, the sink is working!
