LOL. EAGLE kicking a man when he's down.
It's the new math.
Oops, didn't consider that as being down. Sorry, spacey!  |

In case anyone thinks I'm exaggerating on the number of trips to the hardware store, I'll sum them up:
1- To buy the faucet, plumber's putty, misc supplies;
2- To buy supply hoses because I didn't realize the old connections were sweated copper tubing;
3- To exchange said supply hoses for longer ones because I'm a dumbass and forgot to measure;
4- To buy parts to fix the drain that was apparently rusted through and broke off when I was working underneath it;
5- To exchange said drain parts for the right size because I'm a dumbass and mistakenly bought 1 1/2" PVC instead of 1 1/4";
6- To buy a nut to connect the P-trap to the drain pipe in the wall because the old one cracked when I attempted to re-install it.
I think I spent as much on gas as I did on parts. Allow me to restate: I *goshdarn* hate plumbing.
#2 and #6 could also be attributed to dumbassness. #4 is about 50% attributable to dumbassness but only because you would have had to eventually replace the drain anyway. |

I have had very similar experiences so don't feel like you are the only one. Every time I have tried to fix a leak under a sink something else breaks in the process and requires new parts. |
