I like this kind of sink. Thank u for the video. Btw, can u please put the link for the top installation's video in the comment section? It will be easier to find 😆 thank u in advance
Wood saw is the easiest way to cut pvc. Farm sinks are popular, but Im not sure how people wash dishes without 2 bays. Also if you need to fill the sink for washing thats alot of water when it should be half that with 2 bays.
Whole sink is much more handy when it comes to scrub anything bulkier than just regular dishes/silverware. Pyrex tray, pots and pants with handle are all this more comfortable to be done in whole sink before putting into dishwasher for complete wash and sanitation, not to mention that dishwasher will last much longer, beside that having only single drain with garbage disposal will never let drain get clogged, which is common case with dual bay sink as soaking bay is frequent cause to that. Also, those farm sinks while more practical, seem also got trendy nowadays.
I’m getting a new kitchen and the sink cabinet is 36”. Should I get the Whitehaven 33” or 36” sink? I am getting conflicting info on the proper size to get. Not sure if extra room is needed for this type of sink. Please help!
My question is when you are done mounting the sink it looks as though it is not sitting flush with the top of the cabinet as you stated it should. Looks like a gap of about 1/4". Need to shim it more. It should be flush so the countertop sits right on it with a thin coat of silicon glue.
Do what the gentleman in the video did even if buying new cabinets. We paid roughly $200 extra for the “farmhouse sink base cabinet” and it still needs to be cut up and a base built to fit and support the farmhouse sink. Would have been cheaper to buy the regular base cabinet and cut it up the same.
I was wondering because I cannot afford to pay $500 for one cabinet just for the sink ugh this is a bigger job than I thought but we’re doing pretty much what they did butcher block and everything but I know it will look so much better!
Excellent video, very clear visuals, direction, and audio. What a joy not to have any music!!!!! Thank you for no music!!!!! Does the sink come with this wonderful man to install it? I need one of him too.
Thanks for doing these videos....I really enjoy them! My question is.....I think i would prefer the counter top to not set on top of the sink....is there another way of installing this sink so the counter top is not on top? thanks
We're really glad that you enjoy these videos! The sink in this video is an undermount sink, but there are also top mount/drop-in farmhouse sinks. Most are made of stainless steel. Check this one out on Lowes.com: low.es/2ZCfKNA
Yes, of course there is. A sink can sit on top of the counter or hang from underneath. Some sinks allow either install. Some are only sit on top, and some are only undermount. The Farmhouse Sink has two options of being on top or below countertop. It is easier to mount sit on top style.
Hi, I've read conflicting reports about leaving a gap between the worktop and the sink top to allow for expansion. I notice you dont here? Any thoughts?
Shouldn’t you put at least a little bit of caulking underneath the sink to make it “stick” to the cabinet? Just to “lay” the sink over the cabinet seems… a little “cowboy” to me! Yes or no?
Research but I think you can buy top mount but not sure if the existing counter top and cabinets can be customized to fit the sink. You may be able to speak to a custom Kitchen cabinet installer or a good handyman and ask about installing a top mount farmhouse since to existing counter and cabinet
Can you link to this whitehaven sink? It looks like this one the template only showed 6" from the top of the cabinet to the bottom of the cut. Is this right??
I agree! There is something HUGE missing here! To just “lay” a sink on the cabinet - without any caulking or else - seems to me to be very unprofesional…
Farmhouse sink has the apron in the front whereas regular sinks do not. It's a design difference. Did you notice in the video the sink had the white extra in the front. They are available in stainless steel as well
The statement "never above the counter top is totally incorrect". Doing it this way only works if you don't have to add to the top of your cabinets. Why is that? Because, if you are getting counter tops with a 2" +/- thickened edge, than you have to put at least a 3/4" shim to the tops of your cabinets so that the doors and drawers do not hit, that is unless you want a 3/4" gap between the top of your sink and the bottom of your counter top. In fact the sink should "always" be at least flush to the top of the cabinets or higher, and "never" lower.
You don't need to replace/remove the top to install this sink. Tap the cabinet front off, cut the top rail off, set the sink on a Pete's Sink Mount (wood shrinks, don't use it please), slide the front behind the apron, silicone the flange, and dial the Pete's to push the sink flange to the bottom of the top. I've done this hundreds of times.
3:04 That's the worst cut I've ever seen. My little son could do a better job. And he's only at 32 weeks gestation. (Watch it with that hacksaw Junior!) Then this guy's sanding the burr off as though that cut is suitable for a glue joint.😄 Vid shoot must have had a tight timeline.
