Life Changing Present!

OK, can you handle it?  Here's my life-changing gift:
Yes, that's a new sink and faucet!!!

I really wish I took a before shot because you would understand why this is such a big deal.  It was a normal enough looking sink, but it was only 4.5" deep.  I'm serious.  It held nothing.  It was really more of a depression in the counter top.  And the faucet was so low-down and immovable that if you had something in the sink you couldn't fill up a pot with water.  In addition, our dishwasher is tiny so I have to wash lots of things by hand.  Things that don't even fit in the sink.  Anyway, my mom took pity on me and got me a new hunk of metal for Christmas.  Tyler spent a few hours installing it as my present also.

In case you can't tell, it's 9" deep on the left side and 7.5" on the right.  Plenty of room to wash pots and pans.  I've included my big pot to show the scale.  Much much better.  The faucet is tall and has a built in sprayer and came with a soap dispenser.  2 things I really wanted and was missing from the old house.

So thanks Mom and Dad and Tyler!
 Now I can let the dishes just pile up forever!

HAHAHAHA! That pot looks positively minuscule in there!! Well, you're welcome. Hunks of metal make the best gifts, i.e. cars, etc.
