Needed Sink Replacement Brings Creative Thoughts.

I've been patching and caulking and tightening to the point where the old sink is calling it quits on me. Three years ago I removed the InSinkerator garbage disposal partly because I hated having to un-jam it and mostly because a disposal in a sink that has a septic tank is just plain stupid. Why would you want to put ground up vegetables and meat into a tank that needs to liquify it's contents under a bacterial process that will not decompose for a long time, potentially causing the tank to fail under stress. I threw it away and I'm still thinking about what I want to hook the switched outlet to now that it has no appliance to power. Small considerations. It's time to replace the stainless steel sink I've grown to dislike. I dislike it because it's shallow and I'd like a deep tub to put a stock pot into to fill without holding it on it's side to fill. The thing is, do I want another stainless sink or do I want to get a bit exotic and try to match some of the decore in the kitchen. I recently discovered where I could even get copper sinks that would compliment the copper pans I have hanging over the island. That would look cool. I do ned to think about resale as well but I can do complimentary tile work and faucets as well and that would seal the resale deal for me. I'll let you know what I end up doing and what else I'm going to upgrade.
