If you have a under hung sink, I would have a professional do the install, as you could damage the countertop with the mounting screws. The depth of the new sink can interfere with the mounting of the garbage disposal.

I tend to agree with previous comment on the driveway, you might be able to find the same SIZE pavers, and carefully remove the damaged ones. You might be able to place random replacement pavers to create and great look without a pattern. In any case plan on future cracking and similar replacements, so get extra pavers.
Thank you ! Present sink just typical drop in, no special counters like the granite one with sinks under. A couple of posters referenced M. Scott is a plumber that does have their options on display, so definitely going to check them out.

Hope to keep looking for driveway options, Repair and working in other coordinating colors really doesn't solve our problem of wanting to end constant expensive maintenance costs that pavers present, but a traditional concrete drive may prove too expensive to consider !
