I agree, hilarious. You know, you ought to submit that to Handyman magazine or something. They might buy it...the "sexually dysfunctional faucets" did me in!

Isn't that the way these projects turn out? My husband has a philosophy (or is it laziness?) of just hiring someone to do it right the first time. By the time you buy all the materials and the right tools (which we'll probably never use again), you've spent more or about the same on the project and have professional results. Needless to say we are not handy people!

Hope you are still enjoying your thousand dollar sink! LOL Thanks for the chuckle.

I love your story--especially the sexually dysfunctional parts reference. It took me some time to realize to make sure you had M-F parts for a project.
We live in a mobile home now and repair projects aren't easy. You can't go to the local big box store for most of the parts. We now have a list of stores where you buy parts there. My husband just hates it when something goes wrong and he swears a lot then--usually not a guy to swear.

Thanks for the laughs. My plumber (have no husband, so have to hire plumber) says something always goes wrong. No job ever seems to go 100% from start to finish - so if even a plumber has problems....... Sorry, but hey at least you got to eat out.

Your story is hilarious...so, how are you and the hubs, doing now?
Pounds heavier, and dollars lighter? :wink:

Hi girl - lbs lighter and dollars a looooot lighter. Seems right after we got into this redo thing, I was laid off, he had to have another stint in his heart, etc. Do not spit on a kleenex and wipe the monitor. It is not a child.

We've done three kitchen remodels where I learned to wash dishes in the bathtub for months at a time. The third one, I asked the contractor to replace all the appliances EXCEPT the dishwasher which was only 6 months old. I guess that was like putting a red flag on it because guess what was first in the dumpster?

I'm one of those married to a computer programmer guy who thinks up renovation projects "just because he needs the therapy." Thank goodness he's good at it, but this one stumped him. He was replacing the sinks and cabinetry in one of the bathrooms only to find that the previous owners had taken two single cabinets, put them side by side and put a top on it. When he tried to replace it with one large cabinet, the plumbing was too far apart and had to be redone. Then he found after turning off all faucets he could find, both inside and outside the house, the water would not stop in this bathroom. After 3 days, he finally had to call in a plumber who took a look, thought a minute, then went outside and turned on the hose in the yard. VOILA! The water stopped in the bathroom. Guess it was a gravity thing.
