The cold steel rod reinforcing the underside of this sink cutout should have been stainless steel, fiberglass, or composite, should have been bedded in epoxy instead of polyester, and the sink should have been properly installed. Note the crack just above the far left faucet hole. As long as the rod oxidizes and expands, it will continue to destroy the top.
Image


The front edge, cut in front of the front rod, will become the rear; the beveled edge will slip under the backsplash while the newly cut edge will be profiled and polished.
Image


The blown rod shows itself. The cut exposed ends are ground back and filled with stone and color match methacrylate front and rear although the rear repairs are covered by the new rear rail.

You won't find this sink online or at your plumbing supply house. It's my design, custom made for this job, and I have it fabricated in the states. 14 gauge stainless steel; over 70 lbs. shipping weight.

The bottom of the apron aligns with the bottom of the adjacent drawer perfectly, the sides of the apron align with the lower doors perfectly, the rear edge of the apron kisses the cabinet on each end equally, and the slight positive reveal on each side of the sink is perfectly consistent. If you're evaluating a similar job, those are the things you're looking for.

For the neighor shop in the building.

Zach and Robert did the design and build. No handles, push to open.

They had gotten the color real close, a few lessons in how to tweek the colors and it came out perfect to what was brought to us for matching.

Never seen them with a black ring. The ones I use are all gray. if you turn the post does it adjust or is the post stationary?

Those are the ones I use because I pretty much only use self close and soft close hinges. They have the long throw. Never seen them with a black ring.

Finally was able to get this slab poured.

I had to clear ice off the tarps Saturday and pump off water that wasn't frozen yet.

Yesterday was the best chance of decent weather for the next week or so. The concrete company could deliver, the finishers could do it, so the pour was on.

Cut control joints in it this morning, then fought the wind to get blankets back on it.

You don't visit old town, it shows up at your doorstop as an uninvited guest that doesn't leave.

I didn't read your opening statement. Looking at this and going "What the hell is that?"

Looked for a while and thought, you could wash dogs in that. Huh, I was right. 😆

Looks sharp.

I figure it's so the dog can get in there more easily.

In retrospect the step was probably a mistake, but the Owner/developer asked for it. Needed to put the mop sink on a pedestal for the drain. Step will help the doggie get in there but definitely might result in a sore back for the owner...

This was a classic example of poor communication. The dog wash was a condition of sale for a spec I built for my client, the seller. The buyers negotiated the dog wash as part of the sale. I was getting the info from my client through his realtor, through their realtor and the buyers... the mop sink is 24x36, which seems substantial, but they actually have a huge dog! almost doesn't fit... kinda feel like they're going to tear it down and start over... 🤷‍♂️

slightly peeved the dog has a nicer shower than me... 🤣🤣

3500 square foot drop ceiling grid, installed. Three scissor lifts, couple of long long days.

Customer is ordering some super sound absorbing tiles, so we just have to go back in a couple of weeks and insrsll those real quick.

Real pain in the butt to work around eighty years worth of pipes, hvac, romex, data cable, security systems, and fire systems. Glad the hard part is done. There is something beautiful to me about a well-organized, level grid like this. Damn shame to put tiles in it if you ask me!
