Old sink and faucet had seen better days
Gotta get that old one outa there
The new one is REALLY heavy
Love it!Our old sink was stainless steel and not a high-quality one at that. The faucet had two rubber buttons on the top that allowed you to press for either spray or no-spray. They were cracked and worn out and barely worked. SO ... it was time for a remodel.
When we were in Seattle for Christmas, we rented a house that had a remodeled kitchen and I really liked the sink -- besides being nice and large and porcelain/cast iron, the sink divider is only half the height of the sink, so it allows you to have two sinks half-full of water, or one large sink (for pots and pans) full of water. And I liked the tall faucet for filling large pots with water. So I looked online and found the best price at Lowe's. It took awhile to pick a faucet -- really, do we need 50 faucets to choose from? And some of them were more expensive than the SINK!
We had one of those instant-heat dispensers for hot water. We have really enjoyed it, but it too was rusty and almost worn out, so we decided to get a standalone water heater pot (like we got Denise and Roger for Christmas) instead.
It's so nice to have a resident plumber. He even painted the cupboard while he was under there. So nice and clean. I can't believe how much brighter that part of the kitchen is now. I guess it's the light reflecting off the new porcelain instead of that dull stainless steel.

ok, I am going the hillbilly route. I don't have a clue what a heater pot is. and neither does Fran. don't you just get hot water from your water heater through your faucet. you should show me a picture I guess.
