Psychotomy

replaced two of the vanities this weekend. will do the last one next weekend. didn’t really get started saturday, b/c i needed a wrench bigger than what i had, and after we got that we ended up at babies r us somehow ;o

sunday i finished taking out the hall vanity and we went out bought the replacement (we’d checked and they had some in stock).  put it in, only took ~30 minutes.  the connections for the cutoff to the faucets wouldn’t go back on, so i needed new, but that’s just screw this end in, screw hat end on, done.  and hte trap didn’t line up.  but a quick trip would fix that.

so before we went back out, i took out the master.  we picked up another vanity and the bits i thought i needed, came home.  bits don’t work, wtf.  haul the new vanity into place, and the support on the back kinda is where the trap and the cutoff is … take out support (losing the two drawers, incidentally, b/c i had to take off the rails that connected to said support) and slide the vanity in.  it’s a little further from the wall than the old one, weird.  and the top’s a little off balance.  double weird.  and the trap is 2″ lower than the drain ends…
back out, get another type of cuttoff/faucet hoses, and some other bits of  drain-trap pipe stuff.  bring it home.  hoses work now, pipes not so much.  gave up and got dinner at that point.  tonight i get to try to fix the traps still!  whee!  and when i end up at home depot, i’m gonna get some shims to try to balance up the master properly :/

wheeeeee
