Our sink, take 2

So if you remember, my first attempt at building our main bathroom's vanity sink failed. Aside from the difficulty I had removing the mold, there were lots of little issues that would have haunted me - off-center faucet hole, caulk residue, cracked section in the back...

Well, I finally re-poured it. I changed up the design this time, though. I used white cement and sand and even added a bright blue crack-looking line. I'm getting quite creative:) It went much better this time, and I even managed to remove the mold without much difficulty.

On a similar note, I'm ready to pour Mark's second sink. Given the warm weather, hopefully that'll happen sometime this week.

Done and done

So the Ciriaco bathroom sink #1 is completed. It took a little muscling and persuasion (in the form of a reciprocating saw), but it is contently living in it's new home. Thanks to Mark, Michael, and Justin for your help! One of these days, I'll have to start paying you.

A couple of points about the pictures below. First, there's supposed to be a on the wall, but we broke it when we were removing it. Whoops. Second, there are matching backsplash pieces, but we haven't installed them yet. And finally, notice the sweet sweet rough rock facing. Good call Mark.

A happy customer

Now that that's done, I need to get started rebuilding the mold for the other one - an exact mirror of the first one. Maybe this time, we won't require a reciprocating saw.
