The Tale of the Ginormous Sink

So the story begins with a trip to Ikea in Bollingbrook. We get there to discover they don't actually have any of our Dosmjo double bowl sinks in stock at their store, but luckily, Schaumburg does. So north on 355 we head to Schaumburg and are able to load the ridiculously heavy sink into my car. Mike and I forget that we have to then drive to St Charles to pick up my sister, Rebecca, and there is virtually no room in the car for a third person. Mike graciously squeezes between the door and the sink and we make our way home. They following day we have Emily, Brett, and Rebecca over for dinner and Mike and Bret place the sink on the sink base. Getting the sink base prepared for this huge sink was a feat in itself, but we managed. Unfortunately, the sink corner chips and we now have to go back to Ikea to replace. Mike has to load the over 100 pound sink back into his car to drive back to Ikea after work the following day. He does so without problems and gets home, unloads the sink and takes it out of the box. Guess what???? BROKEN a huge crack that ran down the entire bowl. So, on Friday, Mike took yet another trip to Schaumburg to get a third attempt at a sink for my dream kitchen. I made him open the box at the store to check, and thankfully, it is perfect. So, after the counter is installed, I will have a beautiful, ginormous sink!
