April 22, 2006 - Traci and I had been tossing around the idea to put in a new sink for some time. This past weekend, we finally decided to give it a go. Here’s how it went.
How to Install a New Sink
Our old, grimey sink.

Step 1. Turn off the water.
Step 2. Just start unscrewing PVC pipes.
Step 3. Use a bucket to catch excess H20.
Step 4. DON’T POUR H20 BACK INTO SINK!
Step 5. Plug up water pipe.
Step 6. Unbolt old sink from counter.
Viola! You’re done!
JUST KIDDING!!!
Now let’s clean away this leftover grime and debris.
Try to decipher the install instructions.
Attach all the hinges to the bottom of new sink.
Attach new faucet (if applicable)
Apply a thin layer of sealant, put in new sink.
Apply layer of Plumber’s Putty to drain gasket.
Secure drain gasket to bottom of sink.
Hook up all the PVC tubing.
Why stop here when you can install a water filter!?
Water filter plug easily hooks in to water line.
Attach faucet base to accessory hole in sink.
Insert tubing into the water filter faucet.
Secure faucet to faucet base.
Install support screws under the sink.
Plug ‘er in!
Plug that one in too.
Now everything’s hooked up.
The sink is now installed!

EL FIN! Come wash your dishes anytime!
