Bathroom update...

[the_pixie]

Well, I've been on vacation now for 2 days and I've worked something like 12 hours in the last 2 days.. People just don't understand that when I'm on vacation I'm on vacation. :( Anyway, in-between doing the work I've been working on my bathroom as well. I've gotten a good 98% of the wallpaper off and cannot do the rest until the sink is out of the bathroom. I've also removed the medicine cabinet that was in the bathroom, disassembled the water lines, taken off the new faucet that we put in last year, and took out a portion of the drain pipe.. I took out these massively long screws in 2 places and had to ask Bear to take care of a third because my hand was getting tired of twisting back and forth.. Come to find out that the third screw was stripped and wasn't coming out of the wall.. ARG! So, started then on the spikets and main drain pipe.. They GLUED the plastic drain pipe onto the main valve again. ARG! This is the second one we've foudn like that. I'm starting to wonder now if this was the way things were done by construction crews back in the early 80's.. The first one I thought was due to the home owner, but 2 is starting to be too much of a coincidence.. I need to check the other 2 sinks and see if they're the same... Anyway, tomorrow I need to put my mind to it and try to figure how I'm going to get that darn sick out... The sink had a whole cut in it fo the drain pipe and then the pipe was glued on after the sink was put in. There's not a clear-cut way to get the sink out w/the pipe holding it in place. So, I might be rumaging through my saws tomorrow trying to find out something that I can be destructive with. :D I so feel for poor Bear. He never knows what he's going to be coming home to when I'm on vacation. :)

Anyway, Bear wants to call a plumber to put the main pipe in the *right* way after we expose the main drain pipe. I'm tempted that if I do that I'm going to have the plumber do all of the ones that are on the wrong way.. We'll see..

Hope everyone is staying warm..
