I will admit up-front I am a fan of a single bowl sink. I also don't like the towel on the counter for pots and pans to dry on. In my last kitchen (and in my new one) I will use an expandable disk rack to dry my dishes and then store it under the sink. I did a quick search and found the one below. I am sure there are others in different sizes. I am also planning on purchasing a sink from MR Direct International. Their stainless steel sinks are 16 gauge and their prices are the best I've found thus far. Here's their website: http://mrdirectint.com/sinksandfaucets/index.php?osCsid=5d367c8f9d5e4f6c54a52b147de8e513 I too have to make compromises due to TWO bearing wall removals, so I feel your pain!!!

franklin_2010 it Is possible to undermount any sink. But if you need to ask then it is possible that you may not be able to do it yourself. Finding a handyman who will do it may not be easy, either. Some people don't like doing more than the minimum amount of effort. If the rim isn't flat, it is more trouble than undermounting one with a flat rim. However, it can be done. It can easily be done if you understand that a little wood of the right shape goes on top of the bracket under the counter. Whether it's that complicated, or whether it's more simple, the bracket support goes into the wood cabinets sides. There are brackets that can be bought. Perhaps someone here has kept track of the name of these brackets, or the web site. These brackets are designed for undermounting sinks. They are to be screwed into the cabinet sides. Once you see a picture you get the picture. Do not get anyone to drill the granite from underneath. This is something which live_wire_oak already knows. (I've read most threads here in the last two years). The comment from live_wire_oak on Sun, Aug 8, 10 at 9:59 is all wrong. Snoonyb corrected it. franklin_2010 I'm sorry you only got live_wire_oak commenting and acting as though he or she didn't understand anything other than what they have seen before, and being sarcastic negative and artificially dumb along the way too. I've seen this before, from live_wire_oak. The negative spirit, the artifice, the sarcasm. So, on behalf of the forum participants who are open minded and willing to share, I apologize for this other person. Since I'm the one who sent you to the kitchen forum, I apologize. As for live_wire_oak, it's beginning to sound a lot like you are someone knowledgeable who is negative dismissive and disrespectful very often. It's happened to many of my postings. Perhaps it only skirts the rules of respect that the forum demands of all participants, but I find it unacceptable. -- From terrylove.com : "Amer. Std, and Kohler, as well as some generics, make undermount bracket kits. These take the form of bars supported by the cabinet sides, or front-back. They and the sink are installed before the granite. Then after the countertop is on, adjuster screws snug the sink up to the countertop ( with a bead of caulk of course.) Very easy to do, sink is extremely secure, and the sink can be removed if necessary in the future without disturbing the top." from a Master Plumber, forum moderator, who has posted more than 6000 times from a Master Plumber, forum moderator, who has posted more than 15000 times: "The largest part of the price is the cost of the sink, and for that you have almost unlimited possibilities. I mount the sink into the cabinets with the rim level with the bottom of the granite. The mount can either be metal saddles with adjustment bolts to raise and hold the sink, or a wooden framework attached to the cabinets. Set the sink onto the supports, apply the necessary sealant, and then put the granite top over it. The sink can be hooked up as soon as the granite guys leave." these two comments were found in http://www.terrylove.com/forums/showthread.php?4406-undermount-kitchen-sink which I foudn by typing "undermount" into the site's search field : http://www.terrylove.com/forums/showthread.php?4406-undermount-kitchen-sink&highlight=undermount In that thread someone provided links to the company that makes brackets. Go and see. At that site, many experienced plumbers and renovators have commented that ANY sink can be undermounted. One of them is the 15000 post Master Plumber, who has more than 50 years experience. HTH Here is a link that might be useful: undermounting sinks, in the Plumbing Forum

My contractor secured our stainless double sink under cabinet mount with the HUSH system. That was about five years ago. The sink has separated from the granite countertop and we now have a roughly 3/4 inch gap between the sink and the countertop. I am repairing it tomorrow and I will not be using a HUSH. I intend to try the Never Fall system. Yeah, I paid $30 for it but i won’t have to fix this thing again. I just realized this is a pretty old thread but I am going to post it anyway. Might keep someone from wasting his or her time and money on the HUSH.

Not advised to create a ledge. You physically can, but now you depend on silicon to keep things water tight. If you keep a zero reveal or an overhang, then water is less likely to accumulate on the sink flange (Which is used to create the ledge). The silicone then can stay intact longer, and not be needed as the primary water guard. Often the biggest problem we see with ledge sinks is with the installation. Some issues we have been told is with accessories not fitting. However, this is easily avoidable with two best practices: 1. The fabricator should always follow the template 2. Once the hole is cut for the sink, dry fit the accessories to ensure smooth sailing from the client. If you like ledge sinks then check this new release: Kraus Kore
