My experience: Our customers called a cabinet maker and they built the sink a "craddle" for the sink to sit in: sink is HEAVY. then the granite installers/fabricators measured/made templates before cutting the granite: then the granite went right on top of the sink/around the sink.
I could call the homeowner for you that had them installed before the granite if you want.

farm sink: july 2008 kohler: (calcutta gold danby marby) Cottage style kitchen and whole house cottage style:

Farm sinks need an H shaped cabinet or an n shaped cabinet -- they are not interchangeable with a drop in sink without having a carpenter make alterations.

They paid their own person to do the sink: he was experienced with installing farm sinks. We only installed granite: 3cm Renior. Installer templated kitchen after farm sink was installed. farm sink installed first then granite second.

I am only sharing our experince.
Hope this helps

Cabinet maker modified the white sink:
and another cabinet maker modified the copper sink: under cabinets: were both 15+ year old cabinets

petra, I'm in love with that cottage style kitchen with the danby marble. Is that one of yours? Can you tell me how the price of danby compares with calcatta gold?

Erika

it's calcatta gold and we got an incrediable deal: was listed at $28.00 sf and we got for $20.50 sf: it is called Callcatta Danby 3cm honed (had gold in it) streaks: so pretty:
I think they had it way over priced. 43 sf kitchen: with demo of old countertops: $3590.00 (one slab of marble 108x54) she kept all of it:

This lady spent 15K on stove, and DW!!! Yeah! I got her sink for $900: kohler cast iron. She has a cottage house 10 years old with pond, bridge and ducks!

I need more picture from her: she is busy!

petra, a couple more questions, sorry to bother you. The $3590 figure, did that amount include fabrication?

Also, do you find the Vermont marbles to be more reasonably priced than the imported marbles?

Thanks!
