A Bathroom Sink

You may think that there is nothing extraordinary about having a bathroom sink. However, to our family, this is a momentous occasion. We have not had a bathroom sink since we built this house nearly a decade ago. When you have an entire house that is still being finished to some degree, there is a priority list that arises.  Needs go rather high on the list, and next is the thing that is currently driving Mindy crazy. The "need" to wash hands after using the toilet has been met by our bathtub or kitchen sink, so installing a sink never made it onto the priority list. However, as our kids have grown, their questions like "are we ever going to get a bathroom sink?!" started factoring into the to-do list. The sink project started last year when Noah milled a maple tree with his chainsaw mill. That wood needed to dry over winter, after which he planed and glued it for a live-edge counter. Mindy sanded and finished the counter with spar varnish; next she installed a stone backsplash. Noah installed a vessel sink and faucet. We all celebrated.
