Say goodbye to the sink!


So we are redecorating the bathroom. Saturday morning found us taking the stuff out, then pulling up the floor after we removed the sink and counter. We scraped up the linoleum, but ended up leaving most of the backing. Waaay too hard to remove. Good glue.
So then T filled all of the holes, patched some rather large mistakes, then sanded. We exhausted the dust outside with a fan in the window, which seemed to help. B, of course, was in and out all day and into the night.
T primed and painted, and she is quite the perfectionist. It looks great in there!
PRoblems arose when we went to put the new sink in...as it turns out, the OLD sink musta been a custom jobbie....the drain (standard, store-bought sink/counter) does not line up with the piping.....OF COURSE NOT!
BACK in with the old sink/counter. Then the hot water supply line is busted. All of the goo that I had to take off in order to get the line off was actually holding in a leak! We have the new lines, but have not put them on yet....
OH!
here's a kicker.....when we took the interior trim off of the door....IT FELL INTO THE ROOM!!! That's right, boys and girls, the door was being held in place by the trim, and ONLY the trim...

Needless to say, we are VERY much looking forward to finishing the project this weekend when Weeb comes down.

Blue phone booth is already rented and will be delivered Friday. Stay tooned!!!
