Upgrade my sink

Because my husband does carpentry for his job, our house doesn't too often end up being worked on. He is tired and worn out by the end of the workday, and I certainly can't blame him for not wanting to do the same thing here that he's been doing all day long. We do have a few things, however, that really do need to be done sometime soon. Our kitchen sink has been causing some troubles lately, with water leaking out from around the faucet and gathering on the counter against the cupboard. I dry it up and it just somehow seems to end up there again. I think it's time to start comparing Grohe faucets and all of the others, and time to get myself on the "to-do" list. I'll let you know how it goes :).
