We started our bathroom remodel over 6 weeks ago. The contractor (who is a family friend) did a great job, leaving me to do some of the basic stuff. Like painting, installing new faucets etc.
6 weeks later, we still can't use our bathroom.
Wow did this thing get out of control fast. Painting took 2 weeks because kid commitments didn't allow me to work on it for more than a few hours each weekend. Now that the walls have color I started changing out the faucets. What a total cluster- this is.
Turns out that our builder decided to use some unknown-name sinks in the house. Which don't have overflows and have the drains almost 1/2" wider than a normal sink. So after installing the new drain, it leaks. After taking it apart 3 times, cleaning the sealing areas, tightening as tight as I can etc. I went to Home Depot. And Lowe's. Neither has no-overflow drains. At all.
So I go online. I can find them, but for $110 each. Screw that.
For now I've packed the holes with plumber's putty, but we'll see if that helps once it dries. Probably not with my luck.
So nothing else got done today. All day with the stupid drains. Plus kid activities of course.

Well, at least your family time didn't go down the drain.
