This Past Weekend’s Project

When we bought our condo in 2006 (hard to believe now) one of the sinks in the master bathroom had a chip. Well, both us and the inspector ignored it.

Until well…years later it became rusted and disgusting. The faucet barely trickled water too.

M looked online at a supply store for a sink to match what had been put in originally and lo and behold found one. Bought it last summer. It’s been sitting in the box ever since until we finally decided we needed to get it done. The old sink was literally putting rust dust everywhere.

Some before and after pictures follow:

eww and with original faucet
Take that thing out!

look at all that rust!
New sink in!
Finished product with shiny new faucet

        Replacing bathroom faucets is easier than kitchens. Ask me how I know? 🤣

        It took me 3 hours to get the kitchen installed. Next time I’m calling a plumber!

    Great job. We need some plumbing done around my house too… faucets and a non-functioning master bedroom toilet. We haven’t even gotten to the stage of purchasing new appliances. We just talk and talk about it. How are you with doing house calls? Just jump on a cross country plane first and catch Metro North railway up. I’ll get you at the station. Lol! 😂🤣❤️

      LOL yeah plumbing stuff is no fun.
      Surprisingly the cost wasn’t too bad. I think the replacement sink was $60 and then $25 each for the new faucets and it makes it look so much better.
      I don’t envy you the toilet situation

    All we do is talk about it. We don’t want to spend money on a professional bummer, but we don’t do anything ourselves either.

    I still have not been getting notifications from comments responses. Or an email asking to subscribe to comments. Don’t know how to fix it. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Just have to go back and look at post comments. 🤦🏻‍♀️

    I attempted to go to WordPress and ask for assistance getting email notifications of comments. I’m not sure where my question has gone to… either to WordPress itself or maybe it went to you. If it did, just ignore it. Lol!!
    🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ I don’t see any other way to contact them on their website.

      I don’t know squat about squat. BUT I’ve found in the past when things like that happen and I’ve tried everything to get it to work and it just won’t, I finally delete my account with them and open a new account. Sometimes that resets whatever is wrong and suddenly things work again like magic. Now – if you actually use your wordpress account for your own stuff, obviously that’s nothing you’d want to do. But for me, I only use it for this one thing – to follow Ivan’s blog here. And get notifications when there are new posts or replies. Just an idea you might consider.
