wrong counter edge for my farmhouse sink
Comments (19)i would say you got lucky! you got the upgraded edge for free (looks great btw) and they are giving you $500?! and your seam is awesome! my fabricator undermounted my sink without asking and then tried to charge me for the cut out. they "waived" the cut out fee but no extra recompense was offered. they also cut a piece too short and when they replaced it, i realized that one counter has a 3/4" overhang and the other has a 1" overhang:( i would say you should not mess with it and happily spend the money!...See MoreButcher Block Countertops with a farmhouse sink?
Comments (10)Hydragea - We bought the house about two years old and there was already some minor water damage, but overall the butcher block still looked great. We tried oil for the top at first, but it didn't help. At some point, I put a coat of poly on the top which totally changed the look, but we were desperate at that point. The poly protected most of the top, but the biggest problem was next to the lip of the overmount sink. Water pooled there and you (or someone) had to be fast to wipe it up. This led to some separation and swelling of the butcher block sandwich and it was all down hill from there as water got into the unprotected wood underneath. I couldn't believe the mess underneath near the sink when the counter was replaced last year....See MoreKitchen Quartz Countertop Bullnose - what to do with Farmhouse Sink
Comments (1)Your situation is the reason I changed from a farmhouse sink. The pictures I came across didn't manage the situation very well, and I was afraid I'd be disappointed. I hope you can find a resolution and some guidance on this topic....See MoreCounter Hanging Over on the Three Sides of Farmhouse Sink
Comments (11)I just had a farmhouse sink (copper) installed and followed Joseph Corlett's advice and had a very slight positive reveal. I had dithered over positive, negative and flush but decided to just go with the "expert's" advice. I am very happy with the installation as the reveal is almost invisible unless I am really staring at the sink. Not mentioned regarding the negative reveal (what your installer wants to do) is that it is more prone to having the edges chipped if something happens to hit the edge while the slight positive reveal helps protect the edge. My fabricators were willing to install anyway that I wanted - I would certainly not be happy if my any tradespeople insisted on doing it a certain way UNLESS they backed it up with a rationale which I could then verify as being accurate rather than their just being lazy :-)....See Morelalithar
