I've just ordered new new Corian countertops and a seamless sink for the kitchen. I thought I'd save a little money by removing the current laminate countertops & sink myself and turning down the "temporary sink" option. Please let me know if this plan sounds right.

Several days in advance of the installation, I will remove all of the existing countertops except for a small section I will cut out around the sink. The night before the installers come to install the new countertop, I will remove the final countertop section with the sink attached, if possible.

This way I get to keep a working sink right up until the new countertop arrives, and I will save myself the trouble of doing the entire removal in one evening.

Does that sound right?

 

GrillMouster, Welcome to the DIY Forums.
Sounds like a great plan to me. Just make sure that when you cut the other counters out, you leave enough support under the sink. Good luck with your project.

 

If you choose to do this I feel that it will just be more work. It's not that time consuming to remove a sink & counter-most of the time is spent on unhooking the plumbing, disposal etc. If you opt. for the temporary sink option you'll need to get out the saw. Cutting will have to be done. I'd just wait until the night before and give myself a couple of hours and do the whole thing at one time. I'm just speaking from experience. It's always quicker to rip down that put back in. Good luck!
