THose sinks are dumb, I don't know why it is such a fad, they all crack or craze eventually. It is overkill with everyone having dishwashers these days anyway (In the I have a farmhouse sink income range)

Yeah everyones got dishwashers these days but people like me still stack there dishes, after rinsing, in the sink before loading them up into the dishwasher. Gotta have a decent size sink to wash pots pans too. Mine is 36”. It’s pretty big. Even with it being a dual bowl i’ll still have zero problem washing pots and pans in there :hump:
I like the way they look. There’s a few benefits they offer like being able to be closer to the sink.
This mother fucker better not crack. It’s cast iron. Heavy mofo!

Talking about cracks, I opened up a small crack in the plaster (brick walls) that ran almost the entire length from the pipe to the door, then filled it, but didn't like how the repaired crack seemed obvious, So I just skimmed a line over it all around the house catching all the filled cracks as I went around the back too, Still needs painting but still a million small and big jobs, I also installed that door and glass.

The very first house I renovated, my gf's dad worked in plumbing and got me everything his cost, so I ordered all better quality stuff. I got a Kohler cast iron double basin sink and I remember it was $300...a lot of money back then....and it was warped. They replaced it of course, but yeah it was super heavy duty and I bet still looks like great 35 years later.

I'm up in the air on the farmhouse style...I have never used one. Definitely has more flair than a double basin stainless steel. I bet it'll pop when done!

Just don't chip it!

Don’t ask me why i went with a cast iron tub in the smaller bathroom! Kohler, like my sink. Holy hell was that a bitch getting it in there.
Which btw i looked back and my sink was actually $1500 not $1700. Still expensive imo. But yeah, i think it will def pop. I’m building for me but also with selling in mind. Not spec home kind of thing but not so custom that shit will turn off certain buyers. Know what i mean? When i want to sell, i want it sold. You want the woman walking in and falling in love with the kitchen and the baths. I’ll do up my shop and the guy will jizz in his pants and they’ll put in an offer above asking right then and there.

thats the plan lol.

Cast iron tub isn't usually a one-man installation job
I know what you are saying about appealing to the women, cause the house is their workshop, they need to know the facilities function efficiently and they like a new bathroom. My cape town house has the smallest bathroom in the world I think and it is still costing a fortune redoing it now.

Flooring is another thing that can make a house... Doing uniform vinyl plank throughout the whole house...

I got all the rotten trim and siding replaced / repaired on my garage, and it's ready to caulk and paint... That's been bugging me since last winter when I tore a piece of trim off with my plow...oops!

One project done, 47 more before winter...It seems like anyways. Nice to be working on my own house for a change though.

And got my girls on 12/12 now...which reminds me, It's Regalia day! :)

I just couldn’t do vinyl plank. Just like i’ve done on a few of my homes I going with an engineered hardwood. Everywhere except the bathrooms and laundry room. Those rooms will be tile

I got the stainless grates for both bowls too.
I haven’t installed it yet. Just took it out of the box to make sure I framed the lower cabinet correctly before we start painting the cabinets.
