Do they have to be paint buckets? I would think they would not be good for gardening? Maybe others will know more about that. But in the U.S. you can get 5 gallon buckets from some local businesses like bakeries, food store chains, places like those that regularly use items they get in the buckets. For instance a bakery usually gets stuff in 5 gallon buckets and often has to throw them into a dumpster as they can only save so many. Some businesses now sell them for a small fee, maybe 1 dollar U.S. each and some just give them away. I think the cost of shipping them to India would be more than the cost of buying them. You could try setting up a fund on Kiva.org and possibly get enough donations to purchase food grade buckets instead of using ones from paint. Good luck with this project and please update us as to your progress.

Hi. I hope the counter is thick enough to take the weight of the sink and water. atleast 25mm to drill in the undermount sink clips. Drill clips are available easy, you can look up Blanco and Franke EL undermount clips. If the counter is thin, you risk cracking while drilling, in which case it is better to use epoxy sink clips. A brand you can find in India is Solartime. They are expensive but you can get your local fabricator to make you a dozen clips and get them galvanised to prevent rusting. Do remember to apply silicone sealant between the undermount sink and the quartz generously. I know how you feel, things that are easily done in the west can be a pain to achieve in our country, especially places other than major cities.

hi I bought an 18"by 18" black granite readymade sink to be used in my kitchen as opposed to stainless steel sink . what and how do I house it on the granite cooking platform to ensure that the weight of the granite sink can be taken . what supports would a granite stone sink need ?

hi. I need an expert advice. my stonecutter but the stone wrongly and install the kitchen sink in a horrible manager where grout is visible all around. it's not under the counter and lip is not fitted cleanly. I don't want to change the counter top or take a bigger sink. what can be the other options? can I get inlay Steel Patti installed around the sink to hide that horrible looking grout?
