Bathroom Faucet

Plumbers deserve a raise. 
Or engineers could figure out a way to make plumbing a little easier. 

This is my current bathroom sink/vanity. Isn't it beautiful? Oh, it's missing something? 


What started as a simple "I can do it!" project ended up being a "Have crowbar, will travel" project. 

Morals of the story: Never assume a plumbing job will be quick or easy. Prepare yourself for living without a bathroom sink for a couple of days. Prepare yourself for spending about $200 on a new bathroom vanity and sink. Prepare some schnapps or other drink of choice to help you calm down after the stress of worst-case-scenario kicks in. Be thankful that you have a family member who knows how to fix the problem. Be grateful that you own the necessary pliers, channel locks, drill, drill bits, hammer, crowbar, utility knife, and cleaning supplies to disassemble the entire sink and vanity. Be thankful that when this whole ordeal is over, my bathroom will look awesome and my sink faucet will not spray my clothes whenever I turn it on.  Be happy that you learned a whole lot about how to uninstall, install, uninstall, and reinstall a bathroom sink faucet. 

The kitchen faucet will be another story.
