The sink broke so I had to install a new one. Basically the top of it came off when my mother wanted to turn it.
So I went to the store and installed a new one of a similar model:
It always feels good to fix stuff around the house.
Fixed my broken sink today

So you say the top fell off?

That's not very typical, I'd like to make that clear.

Well, there are a lot of these sinks around the world all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen. I just don’t want people thinking that faucets aren’t safe.

To shreds you say

Completing basic plumbing tasks is one of the more rewarding DIY experiences. It doesn't take long, and it doesn't take many tools, but the results can be day and night.
Also, one of the more gross experiences. Cleaning out that p-trap is no fun, but watching the water drain quickly after it's done makes up for it.

Straight lye crystals get the job done every time for me. Hair, toothpaste, doesn't matter, totally clear after two applications.

I once was the person doing general maintenance at a bar, and there was a lot of raunchy shit. But the one I almost couldn't finish was unclogging a drain by opening the trap.
I was less nauseous than when I was trying to unclog a puked in urinal.

But only one fork.

What fork? I don't see any fork

"I fixed my sink today, where I cook all my meals; the faucet brings the rain, this new feature is real."
Seriously though, great job; I just did my bathroom fixtures, it's kind of amazing how easy it is as long as you have a good wrench.

You're calling a faucet a sink?

First step to replacing all your faucets. Then, if you're curiously confident like me, you move to more advance plumbing projects, like replacing a shallow kitchen sink with a deeper sink not taking into consideration the size of the garbage disposal, the need to rework most of the under sink plumbing, and... oh but first I have cut the hole in the counter another 1/4" before I even begin to tackle any of that. There's no god.
Turned out nice.

I need to do that sometime. Or contract out for someone else to do it.

It's insanely easy to swap out a faucet. I'm sure you could do it, if you're slightly experienced or mechanically inclined you probably won't even have to look up an instruction video. Just be sure to shut the water off under the sink before you unhook anything, and put a bowl or towel under the hoses for the residual water in the lines when you unhook them.

I wouldn't call getting a wrench between the sink bowl and the wall "easy" (even with the correct basin wrench), but I'd agree it's simple in concept.
