6 hours start to finish. Unbelievable and thank goodness I did this on time and materials. Older sink was siliconed down and absolutely nothing would release the sink from the top.

Well, diamond blade on an angle grinder fixed that problem real quick otherwise I would of damaged that formica top for sure. You could see where prying using wood shims, screwdriver, damn near everything and nothing would work. A small piece of laminate pulled up in the back but thankfully under the ledge of the sink. It could of been disasterous if I wouldn't of used the angle grinder. Made a mess as well.

Cass......Wiseway along with some other plumber from the area is saying that Air Gaps are required in Clermont county now. I was going to insist on installing one no matter what for saftety reasons.

I hope I don't do another one of these for years. Made $500 for my troubles and they supplied all materials except the Air Gap.

That existing faucet you see in that sink is a $600 Grohe faucet that is froze in that position to work in the right bowl only.

Nice job. You really like that angle grinder with the diamond cutoff wheels, don't you? I might have to break down and get me one.

Yep. For as cheap as they are from Harbor Freight I can't beat it. I really wish I would of wore a mask though when I cut that up. Sticking my nose under my shirt wasn't enough.

Been fighting a horrible headache until just an hour ago.
