Home remodeling is great when it’s done. We recently put new bathroom faucets in out of necessity. The guest bathroom water shut-off under the sink was the only means of keeping a steady stream of water from running constantly. Yesterday we had new countertops installed. When the two men removed the old sink and plumbing they cut the water pipes rather then simply unscrewing them from the drain. Keep in mind that they only remove, they do not reinstall the sink, faucet, or the plumbing to make it all work. Once the counters were done we started tackling putting the new sink in. This is the point we realized that they cut the lines. I went to two stores in search of new pipe, just like what was removed. Nothing matched, so I purchased some that was similar along with some extra pipe just in case. I am not sure why men send woman after supplies that they know nothing about; of course what I bought wouldn’t work. After careful contemplation almost like working a puzzle, the light came on and the pieces started to fit together. With the counters, sink, and faucet done I started cleaning and putting my kitchen back together. It really looks nice now that it is done. I believe a fence in the back yard might be the next project, we’ll see.
