NOT everything, BUT a kitchen sink
We got our sink installed today by the plumber and I love it! The new style of pull-out handles, instead of the separate hose squirter is awesome, and we have the little built in soap dispenser (although that was tough to fill with an empty sink cabinet, not sure if I'll be able to do it when there is stuff under there). I've never been so happy to do dishes as I was this afternoon.
The plumber wasn't aware our bathroom was ready for him as well, so he will be back on Monday and bringing our toilet, wohoo! As he was going to put in the dishwasher, he pulled off the front bottom panel and realized that there was a leak happening, through evidence of old soap residue and water stains. The leak was probably going into the concrete (as it wasn't previously on anything other than the concrete slab) and therefore soaking into that so we didn't notice any puddles. Also, the feet on it are rusted in place and not adjustable. These two revelations add up to a new dishwasher! We're going shopping tomorrow.
I love my new sink though!

Lookin' good!! We are still 5 weeks away from our addition starting, zoing board of appeals stuff!
For re-filling the soap thingy...try lifting the pumper straight up and fill from the top. I filled mine the screw bottle way for months till I figured out the easier way!! Maybe yours is the same as mine!
Good luck!

Looks GREAT!!! Love the countertop! I prefer a matte finish as opposed to shine. It's much warmer (less fingerprints too).
Our soap dispenser also can be filled from the top (Kristin showed me) Just pull out the whole pump, long tube and all, and slowly pour soap in.
