Putting the sink in

Today I started the first of the many projects. Ever since we bought the house 2 years ago, we have been planning to put a sink in the downstairs common area. It was already rough plumbed, but the watter lines had not yet been put in. So, today, my brother in law (who is a home improvement veteran) came over and gave me some advice about my plumbing needs.

Feeling inspired, I went to George Morelan Plumbing with my son and bought my supplies (note - don't take tired children to stores with long lines!!!). With no more excuses left, I began my project.

Basically, we are putting in a cabinet with a sink. Nothing massive, but it takes a while to get back in the DIY saddle. At this point I have it mounted and rough cut. Can I say that cutting the whole for the basin was a pain in the butt?!?! There is less than a half inch margin for error around the whole thing!

Tomorrow Rick and I should be able to get the plumbing done, and my first project should be mostly done!
