and I wanted a double drainer sink which is much less common these days but I like a dedicated side each for wet dishes and dirty dishes, otherwise the dirty cups, dishes etc just get put on the benchtop. Our kitchen is a conventional U-shape and the sink is going under the window on the short side of the U, there is still lots of bench space, the breakfast bar is 4 m long.
Actually I am really really old school and I don't even like dishwashers. By the time you rinse the dishes, stack the dishes, wash items that can't go in dishwasher, sort out items behind other people (like Bec's husband), unstack the dishes, you might as well of just hand washed them.
But, hey, I said I was old - us hand washers are a dying breed
I’m old school as well; I don’t have a dishwasher either.
Nor do I want one.
