New sink for me

Well, well, well. Jan Michael is on vacation this week, but does my husband decide to lie around all day reading comics and eating junk?! No sir! He's decided it's time to replace the kitchen sink (and the garbage disposal, too), so today has been phase one of Operation...Sink Replacement. Above you see the before shot, and can I just say I will not be sorry to haul that old blue sink straight to the dump.
He decided to see if using a car jack would be a good way to lift the sink out, and.....
we have lift off! Clever boy!
The pipes are pretty old and filthy, so we may end up replacing those as well, but for now, the old sink (which is not light by any means!!) is sitting on the driveway, and the new one is ready and waiting. Stay tuned, probably tomorrow, for more adventures of "Jan Michael and Hilary, Gallant Home Improvers."

Wow - We are IMPRESSED and proud that JM would take on such a project and we are glad that you will be getting a new sink and disposal!

Nice! It will be neat to see your new sink :)
Is your old sink faulty or irreparable? If not you might want to consider giving it to a resale or second hand place, you never know what folks might want/buy!
