Charlie:
Gigi in Katy wants to replace a stainless steel sink with a farmhouse sink. The question is does she start with a plumber or home improvement guy?
Podcast: Play in new window
Tom:
I would definitely start with a plumber. A farmhouse sink and for those of you who don’t know what it is, it has a front to it. You have to hack away at your cabinet a little bit to make this thing fit. Let’s start with the plumber to make sure all the plumbing is ready. They might be able to fit it depending how the cabinet is.
What happens is if you have doors underneath your sink and the sink goes down pretty far, you could have a real cabinet re-do involved with that. Let’s start with the plumber and go from there.
Charlie:
Start with the Abacus and go from there.
Tom:
Don’t buy the sink yet.
Charlie:
Really?
Tom:
Yeah, because what happens if you have to re-do the entire cabinet? For a sink they might not want to.
Tom:
Show a picture, and start with a plumber
Call Trifection for all new cabinets in your kitchen. It doesn’t cost much. We only make $40,000.
Charlie:
No. That’s why we’re vacationing under a bridge this summer. Seriously, start with Abacus.
Tom:
I would start with a plumber to make sure and a picture of the sink.
