Sink Success

Sink Drain

Saturday John and I installed the counter tops and the sink in his kitchen. That was all pretty straight forward. Hooking up the water lines was also relatively simple, but hooking up the drain was an exercise in creative engineering. You might think that that someone would have sorted this business out, but no. It took five trips to the store to get all the pieces we needed. The first trip was a couple of weeks ago when we thought we might be getting to the point where we needed drain pipes. Turns out those pieces were all wrong. About a week later we picked up a couple of packages at Lowes, and I think we used most of one package, but it wasn't enough. We needed a special piece to connect to the sink, and then we needed some extensions, and then we needed an adapter to actually connect to the sewer.  We needed three extensions to make this whole thing work. But it's all connected and nothing is leaking (cross my fingers).
