Well, I really shouldn't say 'dumb' things, only because I'm the one who did them. Okay, I did a really dumb thing and now I have to make up for it since there are more than 2 of us in the house right now and we all need the thing that I did some serious damage to. I got grease on the stainless steel sink in the kitchen, and yes I should have been using the fiberglass slop sink in the laundry room, I know. This wasn't cooking grease but rather gear grease from a car part I was working on and it wouldn't come completely off so I used an abrasive. I didn't want my wife to see the black grease on her shiny sink.
This was a bad mistake because I got the grease off but got a surprise when my wife started yelling about what happened to the sink. I asked her from the bedroom what she was talking about since I hadn't gone into the kitchen lately. She asked me why there were rust stains all over the sink and what looked like scratches. She didn't believe me when I said "Gee, I wonder why that happened?". Bad move Dave! Now I have to replace it and since I'm paying for a new one I want to get one of those sinks with the small sink next to the deep sink. They look cool on the home builder shows and the cooking shows. I like the deep sided ones because you can put a large bird or a bucket(for brining) under the tap.
To get the extra depth I'm going to opt for an undermount sink so that any water trying to escape the sink will fall right back in, a little measure of floor and clothing protection. I've had many a bad water run in with trying to get a brine started for a long BBQ smoking and this will make it easier to do. What I really need to do is find a way to convince her that it's her idea and I'm obliging her with her request for a specialty sink. Too many of these stories and I'll be getting a red suit in the hereafter! I actually think she'll like it and I'm having a plumber install it. I'm taking no chances!
