Of the many appliances and fixtures, The sink/faucet/garbage disposal is perhaps Rachael's favorite trio! (It may be that she really disliked washing dishes in the bathtub or utility sink...)
This sink is large enough to hold a cookie sheet laying flat, it's chip and scratch proof and is actually really light despite the size (this helped with installation.) We have a mini-Tupperware container that stays in the sink for the occasions when a large sink full of hot soapy water is overkill. (Dad.) The sink will be under mounted beneath the concrete countertops.
The garbage disposal (an "InSinkerator") is a food-waste pulverizing monster, yet completely silent. Well, not COMPLETELY silent. We wanted an appliance that did its job (grind up non-compostable food matter) quietly while still rumbling loudly enough to dissuade adventurous 3 year olds, from trying to save the castoffs of their purple cauliflower.
The amazing faucet sits in such a way that it demands attention. We wanted a tall, largely arched faucet to better enable us to fill pots and pans with water, or to rinse them clean. The water power coming from the faucet is amazing, and a set of buttons lets you alternate between a spray version and the more typical single stream. The head of the faucet pulls down out of the neck on a hidden hose and extends a few feet, allowing for easier access to the distant corners of this seriously gargantuan sink. We chose the faucet not only for the phenomenal function, but for the form as well. It seems to mimic the shape of the necks of the Canadian geese that live across the street in Crystal Springs.
