Excellent video an to the point. I am planning to install one of these Sinkology sinks and have four questions: 1. This one is for your wife: How is the sink after one year of use? Stains? Chips? How do you clean spots (with barstool friend?)? 2. What type of granite cutter Disk you used? I've seen videos with water, plastic sheets, etc. that make it look like a messy job. Yours is perfect. 3. Do you have the dimensions of the actual cut out? The home depot app is too vague and I want to double check becasue my cabinet is 30" wide and may be too tight. 4. Did you build a wood frame to support the back side of the sink, or jut cut out the center section where the water line is coming to the faucet? Thank you!
Hi, I apologize for the late response. This sink wasn't installed at my house, it was installed for a client. That sink should be holding up good after a year, since its a ceramic sink. It's the same material that toilets are made from. Most toilets are easy to maintain if maintained on a regular basis. As for chips, I don't know if there are any. The granite cutting disc is called a diamond disc/blade, diamond disc/blades are ideal for stone, brick, concrete, masonry, stucco, tile, and more... Be sure to get one that fits your cutter/grinder. Disc sizes can range from 4.5" and up, the most common size will be 4.5" and 9". I personally us a 4.5" disc, but sometimes you might need to use a larger disc to cut through thicker material. Sink cut-out dimensions will vary, depending on the manufacturer. The sink you are interested in should have the specifications on the cut out. If you can not find them, let me know what brand sink you are looking at, with the model number. I'll check the specs for you, I'll also need the width of your cabinet. Be sure to measure from the inside. Please send that info to peteshowtosreviews@gmail.com Now, to answer your last question, I'll have to see what sink and cabinet you are working with, prior to making a determination on what to do with the base cabinet. Please send me more info. Hope this helps, Thanks for watching!!
@@peteshowtosreviews8067 Hello and thank you for the reply. I reviewed the video several times and realized you installed a Josephine sink (brand is in a little tag on the RH side of the sink). I already sent an email to Sinkology for the cut out dimensions. Thank you for the disk information and the offer to find the dimensions, that is very nice from your part. The video helped me significantly and gave me the confidence to do this on my own.
@@wysiwyg2489 You're welcome! I'm glad you found what you are looking for. Keep in mind, if you are installing into a sink base cabinet that isn't designed for a farmhouse/apron sink, you'll have to purchase one with a smaller reveal (like the one in the video). If you go with a top mount sink, you won't need a platform for the sink to sit on. Feel free to contact me with any questions. Thanks again for watching!
Great video. Do you remember how many inches down the sink sits on the cabinet measuring from the top of the countertops? Want to make sure my cabinets will work with this
Hi, It depends on the thickness of your countertop. Feel free to send me an email regarding your questions, I'll be more than happy to guide you, so you purchase the right sink. You'll see my email in the about section of channel. Thanks for watching!!
Yes, absolutely. I apologize for the delayed response. Hope my response isn't too late. Keep in mind that it will be a little more difficult to install an under mount sink. You'll also have to get the cut edge honed and polished. Hope this answers your question. Thanks for watching!!

Love the video. Would this still be possible with an under mount farmhouse sink rather than the one used here?
Yes, absolutely. I apologize for the delayed response. Hope my response isn't too late. Keep in mind that it will be a little more difficult to install an under mount sink. You'll also have to get the cut edge honed and polished. Hope this answers your question. Thanks for watching!!
