Day 1-Trip to Menards. Decide to buy sink for kitchen. Eat out to celebrate.
Day 2 - Spend 2 days looking, find sink, a special order. Decide we need new faucets. Look for faucets. Eat out.
Day 4 - Find faucets! special order.
Day 8 - Faucets come in. Pick up.
Day 13 - Sink comes in. Pick up. Also buy putty, grout, strainer, caulk, sawblade, flange, adhesive, etc. Husband goes nuts.
Day 14 - Friend who is a tileman comes over to release and lift old cast iron sink. We need him so we don't break the special order ceramic tiles around it. He scores sink, breaks a tile. We don't kill friend. Husband goes nuts after friend leaves. Have replacement tiles in basement from former owner. Husband says he can cut them and repair. Uses maybe a chain saw. Tiles destroyed. Sawblade destroyed. Decide to check out tile cutters.
Day 15 - Other friend comes over, helps lift out old sink because plumber buddy coming tomorrow to help put in new sink. Old sink now out. Eat out. Plumber buddy calls and can't come for 3 days. Eat out for 2 days.
Day 16 - Back to Menards to return grout. Wrong color. Go to Home Depot. Buy tile cutter that is really cool. Husband goes nuts because he only needs diamond blades for his chainsaw or whatever he used. Buy diamond blades but also tile cutter. Husband tries tile cutter and loves it. Problems solved. Eat out. Measure - realize old hole for sink is too small for new hill dollar sink. Husband goes nuts. Recut support for sink and pull out tiles. (I would have attached this if I knew how.)
