The thing about having the window over the sink is that this is actually

I have just reviewed all the places I've lived. Only one, my parent's
second house, had a window over the sink. My rental places and two
purchased homes have both had wall facing sinks.

I live in Minnesota, which may be part of the reason. It's best, up
here where there can be a worry about pipes freezing, to have as much
of the plumbing and pipes on interior walls as possible.

And yet, while Canada should logically be rather colder than Minnesota,
I don't think I've ever lived in a house that didn't have a window
over the sink. And this is in areas where the temperature routinely
drops to around -40 of a January night.
