This is what it looks like under our sink right now. Love the old plaster lath in the back that is all soft and moldy. Not to mention that our cupboards are homemade wood, very poorly homemade too I might add. No, we didn't make them we are actually the idiots that bought the house even after seeing the crappy cupboards.
Here's the sink troll trying to attach the new water connections for the new tap. Not an easy task when your water pipes are old galvanized ones. They need to be replaced and that is on our list for the summer along with gutting and redoing the bathroom. As you can tell the drain is not attached because he had to replace all the pipe that attaches to the sink and then goes into the black drain pipe. I'm not sure if the troll knows what he's doing. He has the ability to read so that should help. He's having trouble reaching stuff and getting things to go together. I don't dare ask what the problem is or I'll have my head bit off. I did offer to help by handing him things or holding stuff for him but was rebuffed so good luck to him.
Not sure if we'll have a sink by supper. Usually how this goes is he breaks something and it's too late to go to the stores so we have to wait or he'll get called to work and I'll just have to make do. Kind of like the New Year's weekend I spent 4 days with no hot water. Or the 5 days we spend with no toilet or water. Or the 3 days we had no bathroom sink. It's amazing how long you can go only using a bucket of water and tossing the used water in the garden.
Please, please, make this fix fast and easy. Well it's beyond fast and easy now but make it get fixed by supper so we don't have to eat cheese sandwiches again. We already had those for lunch. Right now I'm thankful for credit cards because without ours no fix would be going on. Do you think plumbers accept credit cards?
