    Looks great! I have been reading about undermount vs. overmount. Why did you choose overmount?

    Thanks much.
    I really liked the edge of this overmount model, and ease of install, cutting a hole and dropping it in with putty and clear silicone II.

    @Focker nice upgrade. I really like your choice and the overmount. I have an under mount sink in ours. My neighbor had an underground and his fellow during Thanksgiving. I went back and braced mine after hearing that.
    Looks great, good job.

    Thanks for the kind words my friend.  
    Having a sink "fallout" over the holidays is rough.

    I had the toilet water line blast me in the face under pressure at 0530 Christmas morning.  It sucked.

    This morning, if anything that could go wrong, IS going wrong.

    first time I've noticed smoke leaking from the back of the dome.  Going to need to adjust that later.  got a Stanky piece of uncarbonized wood in my lump go undetected, until i can't get good smoke.

    ribs are about to go on for tonight as soon as I get stuff straight.

    time to pour the first drink....don't judge me.....and trudge on.

    Good luck @johnnyp -  you will get thru this and enjoy the other side of the day.  As had been said many times "You can't drink all day unless you start in the morning."

    This happened today me too. Apparently, it's due to a poorly done install by the builder contractor. Heard a noise and saw this chintzy-looking bracket with glue attached on the floor of the cabinet. Once I looked at the mounting spot, I saw daylight coming through. Contacted a local granite place and they sent a guy out to fix it. Lots of cursing about a piss-poor install later, sink looked better than new. I'll definitely be using that place later when we get new countertops after a kitchen redo.

    The aftermath.

    As Negan would say after bashing two heads in with Lucille, "A productive damn day". 

    Approaching baseline.  Still some little things like new paper towel holder, EVOO bottle for Dawn.

    SB cooking plans have changed.  Opted out of stuffed scoops.  Aged cheesesteaks a la Blackstone are still on.

    When they installed mine they used and angle jig to screw a wooden support under all 4 corners so it could never fall.

    Got this lot ready for later. Boys fed now, apart from the one that has gone out and not turned up for tea. Plenty for sandwiches for tomorrow as well.

    @Lit That's essentially what they did to mine as a fix. I could stand in the sink and it won't budge.

    That is a proper send off right there.

    Lunch at Lewis BBQ in Charleston, SC. This place is indeed legit. Taste like I'm in Austin, TX again.  Prime brisket, potato salad and corn puddin' with green chiles. The tangy sauce is killer too.

    Huddled up in the safest spot of our home just to be on the safe side. Hasn't been this bad in a long time. Pretty sure one of our vehicles, shed or one of two power poles got hit. Literally over an hour of virtually constant lightning. The wind is horrible too.

    @NPHuskerFL... hey Blake, stay safe my friend.  We had thunderstorms like that last night ... the security camera captured a couple of shots:

    Here's my backyard in the middle of the night:



    Here's my backyard a split second later:



    That one certainly got my attention ...
