I made the mistake of hiring a coyboy builder to install a much needed bathroom cabinet in my ensuite above my sink. One night I was awoke with a start by a very large bang. It was only the bloody cabinet coming down onto my sink, snapping it in two! I have many sinks in my house, 5 to be precise, i had 4 en-suites, and a main bathroom. i needed new sinks and fast.
If I just replaced the one sink, the other sinks would not match anymore and to be fair my OCD would drive me to replace them all eventually anyway. I am ashamed to admit that, everything has to be right. I feel sick, I know I am sick. I throw up bits of last nights dinner into my dry mouth every ten minutes. All the sinks in my home have to be the same, the same old great style.
It was a huge task replacing all the sinks. Most people would just replace a sink with any old new sink. Not me. My sinks were special, they had been passed down from generations. My oldest relatives had installed them when she lived here years ago, to me they were simply priceless...
So you can see how torn I was. To give in to my obsessive compulsive disorder and change all the heirloom sinks, or let my grandmothers legacy live on through her sinks?
It was tearing me up inside. I couldn't eat, I couldn't play with my kids, and I couldn't sleep. I kept thinking about sinks. Over and over again.
I decided I would have to get new ones. I went to the biggest bathroom retailer in England; I had a specific design in my head for the type of sinks I wanted. But I could not find it anyway. Again my OCD took over and I could not/would not settle for anything less than what I wanted.
the search engine google saved the day in the end. My life was TRANSFORMED when I found a company who promised me they would get me the sink I wanted when I needed it. I told them the spec and they went ahead and created a special design for me using expert software. It was so immense thati wanted to kiss the young man who helped me.
The sinks took next to no time in being constructed, they even came out to my house and fitted them in for me. The nice plumber after a cup of tea even fitted me a new cabinet! Hopefully this time it will hold!
although the old sinks are up in my attic collecting dust, at least these new ones can someday collect the same sentimental value as the last ones and I can pass them onto my great great grandkids too! - 16492
