Lowes has stainless steel sinks but none were displayed or sold with a 24" high faucet without going with granite. I didn't want to spend for new countertops just so I could have an undermount sink and mount the faucet, since I thought the formica we had was good enough. That is just our original formica countertops in the photos. This sink is sold with a similar faucet, however I didn't use the faucet that came with the sink since I already have this one. I bought two of these faucets on eBay 12 years ago for $129 each. I used one in a remodel in 2008 and other you see now, and so now I have a spare for parts. For $399 you get the sink and the faucet.

They pour the concrete walls onsite while flat, then tilt them up to make the wall. The roof kinda holds the whole structure together. Tornado's LOVE that shit. [Reply]
Those screens are nice if you are a lazy ass like me. You put dirty dishes in sink to get to later eventually a plate slides down covers the drain. Next thing you know you have a sink half full of greywater that no one will move that plate to drain down. But Dad will and in the dishwasher they go. [Reply]

Oh, well we haven't had a good tornado here since 1975 so I don't see that as a huge concern. [Reply]

Prefab concrete walls on concrete slabs. It's used all over including HD Lowes Menards warehousing Walmarts Costco etc. It's not recommended in high earthquake activity.

I'm setting my fresh veggies there as I wash them. I'm setting my poultry there as I wash it and remove the fat. I'm setting my dishes to dry there it need be. [Reply]
Lowe's only because it is about 3 blocks away. Home Depot is 5 miles away. Simple answer for me.
But that Home Depot has much better customer service and you can actually find an employee if you have a question. Nearly impossible at Lowe's. [Reply]

They both give a 10% discount but Lowe's is better because it's unlimited. Home Depot caps it at $500 per transaction ($50 discount). I saved over $400 on kitchen appliances at Lowe's. [Reply]
