busy sunday

So for the past 3 years I have been living with this in my kitchen!



HORRIBLE! I hated that backsplash and the cabinets actually use to be an ugly brown as well.So yesterday morning I went out got some paint and Sarah aka my twin and I went to work to finish up the kitchen. We did all the painting no problem then decided we could remove the sink and countertop and get the new one in before the guys got back from golfing! Well the countertop was kinda being a bitch, but after awhile we got it loosened up. And then moved onto the sink. Let me tell you, the stuff in sink drains is disgusting!So we turned off the water and were working on loosening some stuff when the guys came home.
Rob was surprised, to say the least, at what was going on and decided that he was going to finish the sink for us. About an hour later we had success!



Onto the countertop! Since Sarah I use loosened this all up all Rob had to do was cut it in half and we were able to pull the old one off. When it came time to putting the new one on it was a very tight fit, and took some elbow grease and a few pounds from the rubber mallet but it was in. And all was good until Rob broke a pipe for the sink and we came to a halt. But it does look better now thanks to the help of Sarah, and our great ideas to try things ourselves!
