Honey, I'd like to replace the sink in the kitchen

[Janderso]

Seems reasonable.
We bought this home in March of 2019. It's 20 years old.
The plot thickens. She measured and bought the sink and a new faucet.

I am convinced she knew exactly what she was doing. $15,000 for a sink??

The sink has to be fitted by a cabinet guy (not me).
The counter top has to be removed to accommodate the fitting of the farm sink.
We can't replace the counter tops without messing up the back splash.
The counter top has to be stone of course.
The demolition has to be done before the cabinet guy can begin work mounting the sink.
Guess what I'm doing this weekend.
Hopefully this won't take too long. We are the contractor and have to line up three sub contractors.

Sounds like a bargain (for somebody).

And when it's all done it will leak into the cabinet underneath. Mike

You may be right, it could have been an elaborate plan to redue the kitchen.

One recommendation and you probably have already done this, is to line up your three contractors and their schedules before you begin the demo. Would really suck to tear it all out and find out that one isn't available for three months or something.

I'm not a plumber. I can't get my body under there.
I hire the pros for this kind of thing.

Oh they are lined up, they just need to stick to their commitments.
Cabinet guy has confirmed, easy job just give me 24 hour notice.
Stone guy said, have the sink installed early next week and we'll be out mid week.
Plumber said, give us 24 hour notice max.

Fingers crossed. Living without a kitchen is kind of like camping, fun!!

Sounds like a lot of frozen food in the microwave, paper plates and plastic utensils and possibly a lot of eating out.

I should have known you had this all lined out.

Stone guy will be out to measure next week. THEN he goes back to shop to fabricate, THEN he returns to install. How long its in his shop depends on how busy he is. 1 week?, 2, 3?
They always have time to get right out to start the job......................

My Camping Weber is on my welding table for my eggs in the morning. The toaster is in the laundry room
