Farmhouse Sink Installation
With countertop & cabinets already in place...

Cabinet doors removed, top of cabinet removed, sink & faucet removed...

Countertop cut & sanding cuts smooth with belt sander & palm sander...

Cutting out into cabinet frame for front of sink placement...

 Used car jack to lift & slide into place as this cast iron sink weighs about 150 pounds... 

 It's in! Jack still supporting weight, with 3/4" shelf board placed between jack & sink to construct support shelf...
 Constructed shelf / supports with 3/4" shelf board and 2x4s - This has to be done for cast iron sinks to support their weight.  Note:  Cut hole in 3/4" shelf board for drain placement...

Drain in...

Faucet in...


Voila (Wa La)!!!!!
All finished, the skirt may be temporary until we order the two cabinet doors...
My style but majority would probably prefer doors...
