After five years of living in this house I finally installed a garbage disposal on Saturday. I nearly bought one 10 months ago, but the deal came back around and I ordered a 1HP Waste King from Amazon after deferring and reading more reviews. Since this was a new install, I had to play around with some different PVC to make it all fit nice.
The unit came prewired with a plug, which is nice because I have an outlet right next to it for the dishwasher. It is, however, slightly annoying to plug in each time I want to use it. Our sink is a traditional 4-hole SS, dual-basin unit, the kind you'd typically see in standard kitchens. At some point I'm going to replace the faucet with a high loop style, with the sprayer in the spigot. That would free up a hole, however it would be nice to have a pump soap dispenser or a hot water/drinking water spigot there, so I need to drill a hole for the push button disposal actuator.
Anyone have any tips for this? I know I'll need some cutting oil. Should I pick up a new hole saw that I don't care about for the job?
