The wife has purchased an Elkay stainless steel “Country” style sink.
In the very limited instructions with the sink, it says it must be installed by an experienced, trained installer only. There is a diagram for the cut out and placement of mounting screws in the instructions and thats about it. Does anyone have any advice for me here, abook, web site or anything? Or am I in over my head before starting?
Thanks

Few people understand it. Nobody agrees what it is, how to learn about it, or who's responsible for it. It has never been more important

Let's start with defining the job scope.
What point are you at now?
What kind of countertop is this?
Is the Counter top installed yet?
What size and style is the sink?
What size and style are the cabinets?, particularly the sink unit?

About all that is missing in this match up is the political affiliation.A great place for Information, Comraderie, and a sucker punch.

We'll get him done before the troops come home, that's for sure.But the wife picked it out. I'm afraid for him...That's almost as danerous a phrase as "Watch this!"LOL

That's only because you've evidently not met the lovely lady.
She's a knock out and about as nice and level headed a woman you can find.

Well, it's easy for me with the ladies Paul. Easy now. A long time ago I really had to work at it. I've never met them but I've got this feeling.
I've got this 6th or 7th sense you see. Back on commercial and working in the malls I could feel the approach of a beauty darn near at the end of the wing. Some of the other trades doubted the premonition but eventually came to realize it was a gift. They relied on me as an early warning system.
Now, if her husband would just come on back he'd have the sink in and be getting lucky if you know what I mean.A great place for Information, Comraderie, and a sucker punch.

Only time will tell.
On a recent kitchen the granite boys blocked under the sides of the cast iron sink, screwing to the sides of the 50's era sink base.A great place for Information, Comraderie, and a sucker punch.

You're not in over your head. You can do this.
What is the counter made of? Is it set in place? Size of the base cabinet (width)?

I see the original says Country style but does it have a model #?
and that "the wife" picked it out. Did she have diomensions when she did that?
are you building a house, remodeling the kitchen, or is this an impulse purchase?
