Putting in the kitchen sink

Tonight we tried to put in the kitchen sink. Currently the installation is still in process.

It has not been an easy time and I've enjoyed the commentary by my Dad and Boyfriend who have been doing the installation. The faucet was put on first before putting the sink in so that they wouldn't have to worry about putting the faucet on from underneath. I hear that went fairly easy. I wasn't actually home for that part.

I walked in after they had finished applying the caulk under to put the sink down. They were trying to attach the clamps for the sink to hold it down tight to the counter. My Dad and Boyfriend kept complaining that the clamps wouldn't grip. They would think they had the clamp down, take their hand away, and find the clamp falling to the bottom of the cabinet.

...

Now they have finished putting the clamps in but have added some things to the countertop. They piled on tool bags, tool boxes, 5 galon bucket of mud, and anything else they could find with weight to it; it's all sitting on the lip of the sink to help hold it down while the caulk dries.

The plumbing still has not been hooked up.
