The wife and I are redoing both of the bathrooms at our house. I installed the first and second vanities, sinks, faucets, drains all by myself. No leaks. Before I started this project I thought I would be posting in the What's Your Deal section. I was thinking that I should hire it done but the prices quoted took the project out of our budget. Typically I amaze myself at how many different ways I can make a single plumbing connection leak. Not Today. That is all. | ||

Pluming in the bathroom sounds dirty. 11 years to retirement! Just waiting! | |||

There are 2 DIY type projects I don't do around the house. They are plumbing and electrical jobs. I just suck it up and pay the piper on those. That philosophy is based on some very poor past decisions on my part.  Jim ________________________ "If you can't be a good example, then you'll have to be a horrible warning" -Catherine Aird | |||

Basic plumbing and electrical repairs are fairly straightforward. Most folks can handle those if they're even just a little handy. But yes, the difficulty curve on electrical and plumbing gets pretty steep past that, so you definitely have to know your limits and recognize when a project necessitates calling in a pro. | |||

Like I mentioned in my post, I am no good at plumbing. When I was younger and had that can-do attitude my thought about plumbing was "How hard can it be? Water always runs downhill". My history on DIY plumbing jobs proves how terribly wrong I was. This job was pure luck | |||

Good job!

A contractor friend says never start a plumbing project on a Friday. Set the controls for the heart of the Sun. | |||
