Our house was originally constructed in 1957 with a mix of galvanized and cast iron for drain pipes. In 1970 the previous owner did some remodeling and used copper drain pipes. Now it's our turn to...

I just put an update in my other post - we successfully got the sink out without damaging the counter (except for one small scratch) and we got all our money back for the sink, plus got new drains...

Yes, I am absolutely 100% sure this is cast iron. It weighed a TON (and just as much as the Kohler sink we bought to replace it with.) It was definitely cheap construction, though. When we felt...

not a bad idea, Mac... except Aqualux doesn't make this sink anymore. It's not at the Big Box, and it's nowhere to be seen on their website. Maybe I'll give them a try, though, and see what...

If you're curious or skeptical, I posted the video on youtube...

This is a 30-second video taken about 2 minutes after this started happening. The damage...

I posted here yesterday about my bizarre self-destructing sink. Now we need to get that puppy out without damaging our brand new laminate countertop. The cast iron sink is adhered to the laminate...

Thanks everyone. I'll let you all know what happens. We bought this from a big box that shall remain nameless for now, and they better take it back. They don't sell this anymore, but still... we...

thanks, I feel better knowing that this wasn't something we did... we didn't think it was, we couldn't imagine what we could've done to cause this, but who knows. We will be taking this back and...

You're right, I took the photo above when it first started happening. I just took a couple new photos - below. Most of the damage occurred within the first 10-15 minutes, but it's still popping off...

No, it's a drop-in sink. There's a silicone seal under the lip of the sink, but that's it - no screws or clamps to torque or anything. Let me get some photos... be right back...

OK, here's a...

Our kitchen sink just started self destructing... what did we do?!? We're remodeling our kitchen and installed an Aqualux brand Bayou model sink from ******* a couple weeks ago. It's cast iron with...

Thanks so much for these detailed replies. This is exactly the type of info I was hoping to get. :)

We are going to go with the Sterling Vikrell tub. My husband didn't think fiberglass would...

My best friend is a member and we considered joining.

After about 4 years they have recovered their initial membership fee in savings (which was only 2,500 for them) and now they're coming out...

Hi. My husband and I have been lurking on this site a while - great advice. We're renovating our 1957 split level home, and are working on the bathroom now. We've succesfully smashed up the nasty...
