Looks like you had your work cut out for you

Nah, looks like they did it themselves

Apparently, the workers installed the countertop on top of the sink when the owner was not at home, and the wife signed the documents accepting the work.
The dude had to cut holes with improvised tools.This is my version of what happened.
WesJr@programming.dev 11 months ago
I’m thinking the workers drilled a couple of holes themselves while they were there. Just not in the countertop.
Dr_DOOM_@lemmy.world 11 months ago
YOU’RE DID IT!!!
ohlaph@lemmy.world 11 months ago
So, what’s the real story here?
pigup@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Counters are installed whole like that sometimes. I can imagine that maybe the contractor’s router broke or was lost or stolen and they had to come back the next day with the router to cut the proper hole but in the meantime he just rough cut a couple holes with the buzz saw so that the homeowners can use their sink.
BananaOnionJuice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
My guess is that they followed the manual, skipping a few steps, glued the sink before cutting, panicked and then voilà.
MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 11 months ago
What is the purpose of the little tiny sink on the left?
ironhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
To be a sink.

Don’t sink shame bro
MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I’m not shaming! Maybe it’s something important? Maybe I need a tiny little extra sink next to my sink? What have I been missing out on???

Note the bottle of Fairy, the UK equivalent of Dawn. It’s not a waste disposal, it’s a fucking useless sponge holder, in my experience

This will be a fun new addition to my vocabulary.
Swarfega@lemm.ee 11 months ago
They’re not common in the UK.
The little sink is just that really. I use it for pouring liquids down the drain when washing dishes and the main sink is full of water.
MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Is that common in newer homes? Is it a regional thing? I’ve only ever seen garbage disposals installed in the regular sink drain, I’ve never seen one that had it’s own dedicated little sink like that!
Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Emergency back up sink when you fill other one up with dirty crap. Designed to make you panic and hopefully do something about the real sink. I’ve always hated double sink designs. They just use a bunch of extra space that could have been more sink.
flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
No, it’s an insinkerater - it’s got a mechanical spinning/bludgeoning device (sorry for the crude imagery!) that reduces leftovers and carrot stubs and the like to a fine meal so it can go down the drain.
I think it’s better than in the rubbish, was the thinking? Still not as good as compost, admittedly
HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
My parents have one like it but with a sort of driptray in it so you can use it to wash fruits and vegetables, for example.
Bonehead@kbin.social 11 months ago
Rinsing sink, for kitchens with limited counter space. My kitchen is small and has one of these. It's just wide enough [for one of these.(https://a.co/d/a5MGpzI)
Patches@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Ah yes the ol I have limited space so I will divide it in half. Do you by chance operate my company’s budget? No money for raises but if we split it between hiring, decommissioning, and training we can make money from nothing.
Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Have you got a link that isn’t Amashite?
DistractedDev@lemmy.world 11 months ago
You can have one filled with water and the other freely draining for different steps of cleaning
IWantToFuckSpez@kbin.social 11 months ago
This one has a garbage disposal unit. But often people with large kitchens have these little sinks on the other side of the kitchen next to the coffee maker.

@BonesOfTheMoon wait, this isn’t a SovCit post!

Who do you think installed the countertop?

Mercival@lemm.ee 11 months ago
I’m more fascinated by the countertop. Although thin and probably composite rather than natural rock, it could still set you back thousands of euros. At that budget you’d think you’d have the budget for a better sink solution.
Death_Equity@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Looks like corian, so plastic. So long as those cuts don’t extend past the basin, it can be fixed with a router and a couple bits. If they do extend past the basin, probably bottom right, then you could fix it with resin and make it pass anything but a close inspection with some skill.
It might be the type of basin that drops in from the top, which would be easier to fix and would be more likely to hide the bad cuts under the flange.
wick@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Repairs on marbled Corian can be pretty hard to match cleanly, so hopefully it isn’t that. Whenever I’ve installed these we always cut the sinks out at the factory, but I guess you could use a router onsite 🤷
superfes@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Any chance it’s being held up by milk crates?

wick@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Any idea what material the countertop is made of? Looks like acrylic.
remotedev@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
Would guess Formica?
chiliedogg@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Maybe Corian.
wick@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Yea that’s my guess, or one of the cheaper brands like himacs if they are willing to fuck around with it like this haha
LarmyOfLone@lemm.ee 11 months ago
I’d actually love to know what kind of lightweight / cheap materials there are that hold up to at least 100°C heat?

I understand DIWhy is more for things that, no matter how well built they are, just shouldn’t be done at all.
This is something that should be done.
Sturgist@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
They why bit is, in my opinion, because the sink is meant to be dropped into the hole in the counter top to help keep moisture away from the underside.
Classy@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Looks like one of the apes that cuts the counter tops at the RV factory I work at got released from his cage and was let loose on someone’s home

iAvicenna@lemmy.world 11 months ago
the upper left corner of the sink hole looks a bit weird
BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Just a little.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Not seeing the problem here.
Is it that you forgot to install the garbage disposal?
kersploosh@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Spoiler alert: the drain is just a straight pipe to a bucket below the counter.
ZagamTheVile@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Yo, calm down there Holmes. I’m a pro. I put gravel in there to filter out the big chunks.

No. It goes to the piss drawer.
Kase@lemmy.world 11 months ago
If razors can go in the wall, why shouldn’t piss go in a drawer? I gotta do some home improvement work to make this happen.
I’m sure my landlord will appreciate the new piss drawer :D
Got_Bent@lemmy.world 11 months ago
That was pretty much my legit setup in my last rent house. I’m so so glad I finally got out of there.
