> [@Renee](#): > > We have one of [these units](http://www.historichouseparts.com/images/0208-04a.jpg) that we pulled out of a house we renovated. Ours has a white sink, though, instead of yellow. I have no idea what we’re going to do with it…I was going to put it in our laundry room when we built, but that might be a few years. I would have saved it too! I love stuff like that, for a laundry sink in a new house, perfect. ---

And your wife has an husband who will DIY all the way to hell and back to satisfy her every whim ! I keep thinking about this comment, and while it does make me feel good, careful what you wish for. If I had the cash to pay someone to get it done so I could spend more time with my family and less time in reno hell I think everyone in my world would be a lot happier. ---

Those are pretty impressive shots. I really can’t imagine taking on a project like this. My wife is constantly looking for projects. I will have to show her this. What are some other projects that you guys have done? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/salvaging-a-1950s-kitchen/525957.md?page=1)
