I hired a plumber to replace my kitchen sink and faucet. The plumber after
removing the old sink pointed out that the hole in my counter top was a little
bit big and there were two gaps but he would caulk over it.

Well it has not worked and now there is a gap and the counter has swollen from
getting wet where the gap is. a three inch section of the counter top is now
higher then the sink. The plumber claims that the only cure is for me to
replace my counter top!!

I spent a lot of money to fix up my house and have ended up with something worse
then what I had before! The plumber makes $80 per hour, I make $7.50 per hour.

Is there another option besides replacing the entire counter top? The old sink
had a horrid metal ring around it that crap would get under and that was part of
the reason I replaced it but the ring did keep the gaps from the two big hole in
my counter top showing.

Which did you want the plumber to stretch to fit? The sink, or the countertop?

Neither one could stretch as much as your nasty mouth.
