I have been redoing the main floor common bath S-L-O-W-L-Y. Originally I took the sink out, removed and replaced tile where it was broken, chipped or drilled into. Then (because I'm trying to be an eco-warrior and assuage my guilty commuter carbon chewing conscience) I got a vanity on craigslist. It didn't fit. Baseboard heater - oops. I then got another vanity -this one a console and a fancy (craigslist again) faucet. The pipes didn't fit. Of course. I cut the pipes. Got new p trap and tail pipe fittings. They don't fit. Of course. Before making one more trip to the hardware store, I figured I would do what I could and see if there was anything else I needed to replace. So I put the faucet and drain in. The drain stop - wrong size. Great. And, oh by the way, guests for the Saint Patricks Day corned beef and cabbage feast. I love my days off. Really. I'm calling a plumber this week. Really.
