Yeah had to do a double take on that, there's a shutoff valve for the sink connectors and oh wait there's a pipe shut off below that. Kind of wonder what the installer was thinking, maybe sink attached originally to those other shutoffs?

My guess is the original faucet was hard plumbed to the original lower valves. When somebody put a new faucets, rather than shut off the whole house, the just closed those valves, cut the pipe above them and added the new valves so they could connect the flex supply lines.

In the house I grew up in, we had a double sink. One was deeper than the other and my memory seems to think they were larger squares as well. But then, the house was built in the late 50's as well and back then, they made sinks as big as you needed them to be. The modern smaller sink wells are most likely due to the industry operating under the delusion that: everybody has an automatic dish washer.

Her new sink would be great for fitting in those big dishes, but it has no drain off area, so it would be an annoyance to wash dishes there at all! It'd bug me having a kitchen sink with no drain off. Modern sinks come in all shapes and sizes, it's the smaller kitchens and countertops that often dictate smaller sinks, and all that space is now competing with half a dozen appliances that kitchens didn't use to have. We have a double sink which a stir fry wok can be washed in comfortably and it's only 2 years old, so they are definitely available.

Nice sink

@6:07 that is not ABS, ABS is black. That is grey PVC from the 1970s. In the 60s and 70s they mostly made PVC in beige but gsr and plastiline made grey PVC. That P-trap and the pipe out of the wall looked like plastiline.

I'm wondering what it cost to drop the hit and cold water turn offs, then having a plumber return to hook up faucet , drain and garbage disposal? I'm asking because we were having countertops installed, and they stopped because undermount sink would not clear hot/cold shut off valves. So we hired CPI pmumbing, cost us.around $700. And now we're told another $1100. to connect faucet plumbing, drain and garbage disposal...:-( Thus plumbing in our new 2004 home is costing us an arm and a leg.
