The "Morgue" Sink

This rather creepy item blocking the beautiful view from the kitchen window (even in the rain) is somebody's idea of the perfect kitchen faucet. (The cars shouldn't be in the picture, but the remote opener for the garage doors isn't working) In reality, I think it is a restaurant pot filler with attached sprayer. The sink is also restaurant grade--large deep and stainless steel.

OilMan made a spreadsheet of things needing doing immediately, vs. things which can wait until next year or next decade....If he feels less, if any, urgency to do something than I do, he puts them into the last category, no doubt hoping that I will forget about them.
