This project wasn't without its problems, though. We discovered that the majority of our walls are completely uneven, making it almost impossible to line things up. Thankfully we had our friend Jeremy who is a professional kitchen contractor and a perfectionist to make it all work out. We also ended up having to redo ALL of the plumbing under the sink to compensate for the deeper sink and new disposal. I didn't do much to help with all of this...but I did manage to take all the old plumbing to Lowe's and figure out exactly what new pieces we needed. I was VERY proud of myself.

This is what the wall behind the sink looked like after the bar was removed. Taking the bar down didn't do this...the original bar was put in with this big hole there.
Our lovely helper! She was actually very well-behaved during the whole process
By far the easiest part of the whole kitchen

Much larger and deeper sink. I LOVE IT!

Hopefully you can get an idea of how it matches with the floor. It's perfect!
