yea....................
I have to finish the bathroom before i start on that one....... maybe next week.
So far i have the cabinet in, holes drilled, everythings hooked up , had a few leaks but just tightened them up. finger xed.. I wont leave today with out checking first.
next is the med cabinet and more paint. the shower needs a bit of finishing, i think that might be leaking too......the floor.. maybe in a few weeks......I might just tile it.
beside the leak from the dishwasher leakes through the floor from the top. I think, its covered with a board, on the roof. might just be easy too. I can get to it from downstairs... what else are you good at..

Suprized no one has said it yet, but that drain isn't on there right.

To seal up the drain to the sink you have to have a seal(the doughnut). The way it looks in the pics is that you have a brass washer against porcelain, then rubber then a nut. Shoud be rubber (tapered side up) into the drain hole, then brass washer, then brass nut.

why does that not look right to me, the rubber should be stuffed up there with the flat washer against the fat part on the rubber....?

The first pic in that last post is correct, just crank it down tight. My little girl will be 2 in December and is into everything.

alexis is two in may...... I know excatly how you feeling.. best tip. dont clean till the last minute, preferrably napping...... now i re did this pipe and this is what it looks like, just one last leak in the drain pipe. then I quit...... going to get some paint, also the drain pipe is too long so it wont fit into the wal proper, i ll go get a smaller one i think and it should work................

If it start to leak around the top of that drain pipe take the washer out from between the sink and rubber.
