I didn’t really feel like installing the new kitchen sink today but when I got up it was raining, so after awhile I started working 0n the project by taking out all the stuff under the sink so I could work on it.
I removed the old sink.
And then I cleaned up all the stuff under the sink and removed the sink pipes.
Testing the fit
I dropped the new sink into place to see if it fit and it did, just barely but barely was enough.
Sealed up
So I put some sealer on the sink edges and carefully placed the sink in it’s hole and put the hold down clamps on under the sink.
Hooking up the pipes
Then I started hooking up the sink pipes. The new faucet went in without much trouble but the drain pipes had to be cut out and rearranged. Fortunately I had some spare pipe parts around to make it all work.
Here’s the finished product. It comes with this cutting board. I figure if I ever need a smaller sink I’ll just put a plastic container in this big sink when and if it is needed.
Wait to test it out
I didn’t test it out for leaks yet as I want to let the sealer cure overnight before I test it out. If anything leaks it’ll likely be something in the drain pipes but most of that can be tightened up some more if need be.
That project took most of the day.
Do you want to eat my rooster
Just as I was finishing up a neighbor came by and said he just took a swipe at his rooster as it was attacking him and wanted to know if I wanted it to eat as he killed it in the process.
I declined as I don’t eat anything that has been fed corn just to be on the safe side.
He always has a bunch of little kids around his place so it was good to get rid of his bad rooster as they can do a lot of damage to little kids when they get too aggressive.
Anyway I was happy to get the new kitchen sink installed today which is more than I thought I’d get accomplished.
I am looking “forward” to having to do that same chore in my travel trailer within the year.

Header Pictures
There are over a hundred pictures that are served up randomly every time you visit or change pages. They are of earlier pictures of interest and also some just to remind me of things.
A Sony AX33 4K, a video camera that takes stills too. What am I doing with that? I take pictures from my Kayak a lot. I found I was missing interesting shots, because my pic was being processed in my camera, before it would let me take another pic. Since I like to take what I call action stills, I bought this camera to take videos, that I could make stills out of, but, as a bonus, this camera also came with buttons to just take stills and that's what I mostly do, unless something is real interesting or too far away for my still zooms. My digilat zoom setting for video goes to two hundred x, and sometimes I need that, but usually, I only use the 10x lens zoom. Because this camera is HD and 4K, the quality has to be real good and it has a lot of stabilizers on it which really helps out a lot for taking pics on the water.
The other thing it has that is a must is a view finder and I had to buy Sony's top of the line cam to get it. This is a must for taking pics on the water, as you must hold the camera as still as posible and putting that eye piece to the eye forms a tripod with your arms that helps a lot. The eye piece is also a must as it works way better than a LED screen to see what you are taking a picture of in the daylight as the LED screens wash out easily in sunlight.
I also have another video camera, a Canon VIXIA G30. I use them both to mostly take stills. The Sony takes higher resolution stills than the G30. That was a bit of a disappointment as I bought the G30 to replace an older camera I dunked in the river, but then had to buy the Sony to get higher still picture resolution that the G30 was lacking.
I am looking “forward” to having to do that same chore in my travel trailer within the year.
