latest adventure in DIY went pretty well

[HomeBrewerDude]

Replaced the counter tops, sink, and faucet. Plus rewired and put in a new switch for the disposal.

Took about 9 hours start to finish.

Very nice. I'm impressed. Did you cut out the sink part yourself?

Very nice!

The only thing I would add is a tile backsplash 🙂

yeah my wife wants tile.... I'm letting her do that part 😉

Also I used one of those air pressure switches for the disposal... Not sure what I paid for it. probably about $50

What is the point of that? I don't understand. "Air pressure"? 😵 Do you mean you just push the button, or what?

no. I guess its not too hard, but I had Menard's cut the sink out for me. Hole was not exactly where I thought it should be relative to the undersink cabinet. But I was able to fudge the sink in the right direction since there is some overhang with the sink rim to make up for the slightly off-center hole.

yeah, the cicruit is open/closed with a air sensitive switch. It allows you to keep the circuit away from where there is water.
