The sink is in!!!!!
Well, after more than 2 months of waiting, we finally have a kitchen sink! Not to the credit of Home Despot, however. They made a series of errors and never did get it right. What finally worked was a letter to the CEO of the sink company. Soon after we got a call from a Vice President of the place, and he got on the phone to the factory, got the right sink made, and sent overnight to us! And he made Home Despot pay us back for the whole price. So, maybe all the dishes in the tub were worth it. Then, when the company came to cut the hole in the countertop, they didn't realize the sink has two different size drain areas, so they cut the hole in the wrong place! Incredible! Luckily, the Corian is repairable, so they had to add back a piece and re-cut the other side. They did a good job and you can't tell the seam is there. Anyway, it looks great, and we also got new tiles behind the sink and stove. The sink has a built-in drainboard, and the faucet has a swivel tip - fancy us! It is a bit of a makeover for the kitchen, and we're pleased - finally! But, I would never recommend Home Despot for such a job to anyone. Maybe they are ok to buy stuff, but not for any in-home projects. But, as they say -"All's well that ends well!"

Hooray! Finally! Man, what an ordeal. I was talking to Q the day he got back when the first hole was cut wrong - he said he was amazed how patient our parents can be... :) I think after two months of screwups I'd be stretched to my limits, so way to go on keeping cool. Glad they could fix it, and you're right, I can't see a seam at all in that picture -- but I think you better cook that sweet potato soon or give it to the chickens!
Whew. It's almost funny how many things went wrong with your sink project. Almost. :)
But it looks great! And at least 4 out of your 5 kids got to experience washing dishes in the bathtub.
