I just saw an example of this kind of installation on the Crown Point website. I don't think I can link directly to the photos of the kitchen I'm thinking of, but its one of the kitchens in their "Recent Images" sections. The kitchen is on the second page of kitchens, and is the second kitchen on the second row. Looks like they made it work by mounting the sink a bit higher than the countertops. Love that kitchen, especially the color of the cabs. Nice change from the white cabinet look. Hope this helps! Here is a link that might be useful: Recent Images from Crown Point website

I would edge both ends of counter top where it meets sink and caulk. Or if you get top and ends aren't edged apply 3 coats of polyurethane into the edges and then caulk in sink. Really no different than a self rimming drop in sink. Very nice looking. Also it has built-in back splash, a real nice feature.

You can find tons of pictures on houzz.com. Hope these help.

just wanted to commiserate with you on the plumbing problems. We have an old house were the plumbing was added later. They dug under one end of the house about 10x10 with an exterior entrance, and all the plumbing was put on that corner. We wanted to put in a bathroom closer to the bedrooms and move the kitchen, so we had to run the pipes under what would be the new bathroom floor. Kitchen sink had to be installed on the same wall as the bathroom sink, with the pipes and drain/venting going through the wall into the bathroom cabinet, then down into the floor. As it was, the distance was almost too long for the drop and to still be able to hook up to the outgoing line. That would have required a lift pump in the cellar, not something we wanted to consider. This is the bathroom side of the wall. If we ever have problems, our cheapest solution will be to hand dig a trench under the bathroom to access the pipes. Hope that never happens. I don't think we would have room for a garbage disposal either, as the drain goes into the wall and then down. Since we have a septic system, doing without a disposal was not a hard choice.
