...we finally got out our new
Delta kitchen faucet...it's not really new anymore as we purchased it a year or so ago...and it's been in the garage waiting for us to get far enough along with the renovation to install it...neither of us like the white on white kitchen faucet that was already here...
...and I got the jack and some wood out of the garage...you may be wondering why...haha...but the pretty white sink was never properly caulked...and to fix that we need to lift up the sink...but we don't want to disconnect everything and actually take the sink out of the counter...so we're just going to jack it up enough to get underneath the rim...
...the Man removed the Corian backsplash as we'll be putting the pretty white beveled subway tile there...
...it was easier than we thought...and that hardly ever happens...
...and then we jacked the sink up a couple inches above the counter...
...and chiseled away the 20 year old caulk that was under the rim...
...you can see that they never came back and caulked around the sink...so the cast iron sink rusted a bit where it meets the countertop...but we cleaned and sanded all of that away and ran a new bead of silicone around the underside of the rim and set the sink back in place...
...and then we would have installed the pretty new faucet...BUT...I said...wait...it'll be a whole lot easier to tile the backsplash without the faucet in place...
...so we're spending a few days without the kitchen sink while I get that done...
~Have a lovely day!
Good idea about waiting to install the faucet!!! Can't wait to see the subway tile. Love, K
