Spoiler alert: the drain is just a straight pipe to a bucket below the counter.
Yo, calm down there Holmes. I’m a pro. I put gravel in there to filter out the big chunks.
Hahahaha 👌
No. It goes to the piss drawer.
If razors can go in the wall, why shouldn’t piss go in a drawer? I gotta do some home improvement work to make this happen.
I’m sure my landlord will appreciate the new piss drawer :D
That was pretty much my legit setup in my last rent house. I’m so so glad I finally got out of there.
What the christ dude.
It’s called fashion look it up.
I like people who are fashionate about their work
Looks like you had your work cut out for you
I need you to design an apology to the entire human species.
Let me get my pinking shears.
Apparently, the workers installed the countertop on top of the sink when the owner was not at home, and the wife signed the documents accepting the work.
The dude had to cut holes with improvised tools.This is my version of what happened.
I’m thinking the workers drilled a couple of holes themselves while they were there. Just not in the countertop.
YOU’RE DID IT!!!
So, what’s the real story here?
Counters are installed whole like that sometimes. I can imagine that maybe the contractor’s router broke or was lost or stolen and they had to come back the next day with the router to cut the proper hole but in the meantime he just rough cut a couple holes with the buzz saw so that the homeowners can use their sink.
What is the purpose of the little tiny sink on the left?
Don’t sink shame bro
I’m not shaming! Maybe it’s something important? Maybe I need a tiny little extra sink next to my sink? What have I been missing out on???
The small one is to use as a sink when the big one is full of week old dirty dishes.
Ah, so it’s exactly like the 2 sided sink I already have, but one side is smaller lol
You definitely need a tiny little extra sink next to your sink.
I don’t know how I lived without one to be honest.
Note the bottle of Fairy, the UK equivalent of Dawn. It’s not a waste disposal, it’s a fucking useless sponge holder, in my experience
what does the Fairy bottle have to do with it supposedly not being a garburator
Waste disposal is a weirdly American thing. That’s why when you go on holiday and chuck your food down the drain like a special-needs kid discovering toilet roll for the first time, you have to phone people like me to fix it for you
Where I live in the UK, food is placed in a compostable bag which are taken away weekly. They turn it into energy. Way better than blending it and putting down the drain.
weird, it’s common where I live (Poland, Europe)
edit: common may be an exaggeration, I could probably list like 5 or 6 homes of my family members and close friends which do have it
edit2: oh we also have Fairy so this may as well be in Poland lol
edit3: the label in the photo is in English so it’s unlikely
garburator
This will be a fun new addition to my vocabulary.
They’re not common in the UK.
The little sink is just that really. I use it for pouring liquids down the drain when washing dishes and the main sink is full of water.
Is that common in newer homes? Is it a regional thing? I’ve only ever seen garbage disposals installed in the regular sink drain, I’ve never seen one that had it’s own dedicated little sink like that!
American here: never seen it another way. Always two sinks in one, and the one of them has a garbage disposal on it.
Rinsing sink, for kitchens with limited counter space. My kitchen is small and has one of these. It’s just wide enough for one of these.
Have you got a link that isn’t Amashite?
You can have one filled with water and the other freely draining for different steps of cleaning

My guess is that they followed the manual, skipping a few steps, glued the sink before cutting, panicked and then voilà.
@BonesOfTheMoon wait, this isn’t a SovCit post!
Thought I’d try something new. I always have more sovcits though.
Well, DIWhy you holding out on us?!
Those are my favorites on the fediverse so far, but this is also funny, so keep branching out!
Who do you think installed the countertop?
Any chance it’s being held up by milk crates?
Any chance it’s not being held up by milk crates?

Perfect 👌
It’s got that rustic look to it.
I’m more fascinated by the countertop. Although thin and probably composite rather than natural stone, it’s still stone and that can get really expensive. It might honestly get more expensive to do this and fix it later than just do it right from the getgo.
Looks like corian, so plastic. So long as those cuts don’t extend past the basin, it can be fixed with a router and a couple bits. If they do extend past the basin, probably bottom right, then you could fix it with resin and make it pass anything but a close inspection with some skill.
It might be the type of basin that drops in from the top, which would be easier to fix and would be more likely to hide the bad cuts under the flange.
Repairs on marbled Corian can be pretty hard to match cleanly, so hopefully it isn’t that. Whenever I’ve installed these we always cut the sinks out at the factory, but I guess you could use a router onsite 🤷
The repair wouldn’t be perfect, that is why it would require skill and no close scrutiny. Even an OK job would at least stop water from going through and that is the bigger issue once the basin install is unfucked.
