If we didn't run into some plumbing that needed updating in our lovely house. This time, it was the sink, extending into the basement. We (well, Matt and Wayne) pulled out the old copper piping and replaced it with some pvc to allow them to move the garbage disposal (which switched sides in our new configuration).
You remember the old sink, right?The one that came out just a little over two weeks ago. Thought I'd throw in a before just to remind everyone how lovely it was.
And here are Matt and Wayne in the basement, updating the old piping.
The new sink, in all it's pre-installation glory.
Mid-install
And after! So much better. Lovely really. And just look at that faucet with it's fancy springy sprayer. Pretty awesome if I do say so myself. And the white looks so much nicer than the steel. Plus if you look carefully, you might notice a familiar face.
Yep, its our old purified water spigot, the chrome one, with a facelift. Turns out, they sell oil rubbed bronze paint, and after a good rub down with some sand paper and a coat of primer you can save yourself 40 bucks lickety split. I have to touch it up a bit, because they had to install it before it got a chance to completely dry, but it looks pretty good, even with that. I'll post some picks once I put on the second coat.
And just when we thought we were done, we discovered a fun surprise. Our old water softener was weeping, slowly down in the basement all by itself. So we decided to retire it for a new model.
Also much better, much more, this decade, right?
