It looks gorgeous. I love the large single bays, it's much easier to work in than the doubles.

Man, seeing a new one really makes me realize how scratched up and dull mine is. I can't wait to do this one day as well. Looks great.
I always found those sink grates cumbersome to clean. Endlessly catching niblets of food and festering on the underside. Then I realized I could pressure wash them and it’s made things far easier for me.
What’s the deal with that grate anyway? Never seen those in a sink before. Why is it there in the first place?
Yah, my wife wants it in there. I imagine she'll figure it out eventually. I just keep my mouth shut.
Ive never seen one of those, whats the point of them?
Prevents scuffing of the sink and allows you to maintain a diverse cooking space microbiome both fed by and evolving from the last several weeks of food you’ve dumped in the sink. Do you like dripping salmonella onto everything from your sink to your cook top? This is the product for you. And did I mention that it smells?
Really, it’ll prevent chipping of ceramics and denting of metal but it’s a comprehensively worse experience compared to going without. And pressure washing the plaque off is the simplest way to clean it that I’ve found. Bleh
This is very exciting!!! I'm happy for you and hope you enjoy your sink. Also what's Newton's 3rd law? Not for me, just the uninformed others.
Those square silver scrubbers you have in the sink bin are the bomb! Love those. And nice sink by the way. I have a friend with the same one.
May I ask what brand sink it is?
I liked that it was 16g instead of 18g. Seems pretty well built for being some no-name thing. Hold downs aren't much to write home about. It comes with some accessories including a cutting board that I won't use because who knows what toxic shit they used to stain it.
ahh. I love me some krauss sink. I recently installed one as well but mine is a double with a very think and low profile divider (Standart pro 33 double). I kept my old Pfister faucet that that hasn't quite needed to be replaced yet so as soon as that needs replacing because of hard water, I'll replace it with a kraus faucet as well. The grate at the bottom seems to be designed well enough that it's not been as big of a problem as I would have expected to be so mine is still there. Def looks gorgeous.
I'm really down on the Kohler right now. Last 2 taps I've gotten have been Kohler and they've both gone to hell rather quickly. Last one the switch between flow and spray would stay in the middle position so you'd have to hold it in one or the other if you wanted either to run at full flow. One before that lasted about a year before it started to drip. IDK, I think they've just enshittified to the point I don't want to bother trying to get a return on warranty. I'd have gotten that Costco kit if it wasn't Kohler.
I just went on Wayfair and found a 16g sink I liked the looks of, seems well built. It's certainly sturdy, way heavier than the one I took out.
