I will start at the end, we have a new to us porcelain sink in the bathroom. While I was going to check out my local habitat for humanity resale shop, I happened to have friends over, who happen to have a sink laying in their garage. So this beautiful shiny new too me sink is now in my bathroom.
The whole problem began a couple of days ago. I thought for the first couple of days that I suddenly became an enthusiastic face washer and left a wet mess on the floor. But after two days of this I decided to check under the sink and yes you guessed it wet puddle of water. Luckily I learned in my last rv trip not to stow the toilet paper there.
Upon further examination from my learning to be handy husband we found, that what I thought was a scratch in our plastic sink was actually a crack. Not one but two. My theory is that my kids stand in the sink when they shave.
After utilizing some duct tape and silicone we patched it up located a new sink and while I was away taking kids to scouting activities tonight the sink fairy put the new sink in and just to see if I was paying attention installed the hot and cold on opposite sides. While I was paying attention I love the sink fairy so much that I am not going to mention it right away, but bring it up casually, after the praise and adoration has lingered a bit.
I am now the proud owner of a porcelain sink, a plastic bathtub and shower, a plastic toilet, but a real live shiny porcelain sink!
And coincidentally I also cleaned out the storage under the sink and realized I brought to many cleaners. If you pass me in the grocery store buying any cleaner just wag your finger and make the tsk tsk sound. Hopefully that will be enough of a reminder.

I am commenting not to comment on your sink (which is very nice by the way) but to tell you I am horrified that in your recent reading section you do not know that "the fault in our stars" was written by John Green. I thought Aaron was supposed to keep you informed about important things like that!!! also you should read his book "looking for Alaska" because it's my favorite by him.
