The Sink

 I know what everyone is thinking. What is the big deal about the sink? 

Well having lived in a camper before and working on lots of different boats with all sizes of sinks I have realized I hate small sinks. 

So I searched the world over for the largest sink that would fit in the space I allocated. It took me several months but eventually I found one that fit perfect. But with any custom build I ran into problems. One problem was because of the slope of the walls if I installed the faucet through the counter top like normal the sink would hang out past the cabinet by 4 inches or so. My solution was to cut a hole in the sink. My next problem was how high to make the sink. Originally I was going to build all new higher countertops because the original were too low. But in the end I decided to keep them. 

The sink project turned out really well. I was able to keep them flush with the edge of the counter top. They are about a foot lower than a standard countertop sink but not uncomfortable at all. I can sit and do dishes or stand. 

For the front I was originally going to make a door or curtains to hide the cleaning supplies. But after using it I like it being open. Once I get back to Perkins I think I am going to make a half wall just to hide the underside of the sinks and leave the bottom open.

Pro- I love the extra large sink. 

Con - It was time consuming project to get everything to fit with the plumbing, faucet and working in such a tight space. I am really glad I put in the time and effort.
