Weekend sink drama

As our faucet has been dripping for weeks, Mike decided to change the fixture Saturday morning. What should have been a quick 30 minute job turned into 2 days of problems and frustration for Mike. As the sink and fixtures were original to the house, a few bolts refused to budge, etc. Then while Mike was trying to take off the old faucet, a friend was selling a white ceramic sink on the local 'hotline' show (a daily radio show for local announcements and in which items can be advertised for sell/ trade). So we bought the sink and as it was deeper than our original sink, all the pipes underneath had to be modified. Sigh...Mike was not a 'happy camper' this weekend. But now we have a beautiful new sink and faucet. Yeah, Mike! Pics are before and after. -R
