Replacing the Kitchen Sink

It doesn't take all that much work to replace a kitchen sink, here's a step by step guide and some tips and hints to replace your own kitchen sink and cabinet. First I have an odd sized area that the cabinet was in and it would require me to either order a cabinet for the new sink or have some thing custom made. If you have an odd place the sink or cabinet is going into like I did then think about the project and figure out what your options are. I decided to go with a smaller cabinet and use a longer countertop for my sink and cabinet. The original sink cabinet was a metal one piece 42 inch wide base with one sink on the top, also metal. It is not your conventional sink or cabinet, probably for an apartment. The space I had to work with is 47 inches wide and would sufficiently hold a regular 25 inch deep countertop and a 36 by 24 inch cabinet. I bought a countertop at a discount hardware store and a regular oak faced cabinet at a home improvement store. The entire start of this project came about because I bought a sink at a garage sale for $2 that was in excellent shape. It only had a slightly dented corner but it was ready to install without even having to clean it up. I bought all the materials I would need except a part for the drain as this would have to be installed after everything else was in and set in place, then I would have to see how the drains for the double sink would come out in relation to the drain in the wall. Here are the items I bought or already had:

Sink
Countertop
Cabinet
Waterproofer
Clips to hold down sink
Floor tiles
Faucet
Drain kit for double sink
Two hoses to attach faucet to shutoff valves
Plumber's putty
Kitchen caulk
Plastic for splash guards
Adhesive glue
