overmount/undermount sinks

I learned something. OTOH I am refinishing a metal cabinet to replace the wood original in my kitchen [area]. It has a 24x54" white porcelain enamel top thate is one continuous piece with drain areas on both sides of a single sink. Last week I got two white porcelain cruciform taps.

I forget the per-sq-ft cost, but when I worked for Oregon Dome we built conventional construction for the price of a mobile home. The shell of the house was built to 1/32nd of an inch (thanks to me), the kitchen cabinets probably 1/16th.

Hydronic heat in the floor slab and a ceiling fan, no ducts or air conditionning. Here's an example:



Today, I think I'd go with metal 2x4 in the shell. Instead of ripping the dihedral angle, it could just be braked. I just realized that now. Y'all have a good day.
