Replacing a kitchen sink isn't rocket science, but yeah, it's definitely a step up from the bathroom sink. Dishwasher hookups and garbage disposals can add some extra layers of fun (or frustration). If you're already wary after the towel incident (been there!), maybe rope in a friend who's done it before? Also, don't underestimate the power of plumber's tapeβit's saved me from many leaks and headaches...
Totally agree on plumber's tapeβit's a lifesaver. Also, if you're tackling dishwasher hookups, double-check your shutoff valves beforehand. I've seen folks dive in only to realize the valves seized up years ago...not fun mid-project. And don't skimp on silicone sealant around the edges; a solid bead makes a huge difference in preventing leaks down the road. Good luck!
