Measuring twice

The plastic bubble is in place and I am about to go under to start cutting.

Don't worry.  I am just lining things up.  The mask goes on before the cutting starts.

All of the rough cuts are made so I can remove the section with the sink in it.

The sink is removed and now the real work begins.

Countertop Alteration To Retrofit Freestanding Stove in Greensboro NC

This is a countertop alteration to retrofit a freestanding stove in place of the existing slide in range.  The stove installers already had the slide in range out of the way and the new stove is in the floor waiting to be installed.

The slide in range has a small strip of Corian around the back side of the stove.  That will be removed and the sides will also need to be cut to size for the new stove.

Everything is done and the new stove is installed.  The homeowner was quite happy to get her new stove.

Wilsonart Sink Replacement in Asheboro North Carolina

This is a Wilsonart sink replacement in Asheboro North Carolina. The homeowners have a Wilsonart BD 322 sink that needs to be replaced. That sink has been discontinued by Wilsonart and the new sink that they have replaced it with is 2" smaller than the one we are replacing. That means we have a lot of work ahead to make necessary alterations to the sink area.

The first sink is now free from the countertop.  Because the sink was larger than the cabinet I had to break it into pieces to remove it from the cabinet.

The first sink was installed in a cabinet that was too small for the sink to fit into.  They had to scoop out the cabinet wall to allow them to set the countertop into place.  Unfortunately, that means that if the sink needs to be replaced at any point in time then the cabinets will need a little bit more modification.

In order to get the new sink into place I had to slide the sink into the dishwasher cabinet and then bring it back into place.

I've added the new material to the front of the sink cutout. 

The new sink is now integrated into the countertop.

I have cut away the excess material and it is now ready to sand and polish.

This is the finished product.  The homeowners were very happy.
If you look close, you can see the faucet is just a little bit of the mark of the center of the divider.  That is because of the new dimensions of the sink.  I can move it but they said it didn't bother them.
