Size Matters
Actually, in this case, length matters. And, in spite of what anyone else might say, an inch can make all of the difference in the world.
Our bathroom sink did not get installed for Thanksgiving (I understand everyone enjoyed it any how; I didn't leave the kitchen much so I'll have to take their word on that).
Everything was perfect until we were ready to connect the feed lines to the sink. As I have already alluded to, they were too short by around an inch. I'd already bought 30" feeds (longest available at Lowe's) so getting longer ones was not an option.
Instead, we got these for $19.02. I mean, why do something the right way the first time around when you can do it wrong and spend an extra $20 for the hell of it?
I thought about trying to install it all around 8 PM last night, but my heart just wasn't in it. Maybe tonight? Tomorrow? Hell, six months without a proper bathroom sink, what is a few more days?

Ooo. Catchy post and very funny!!!
Plumbing gives me nightmares. If I had more money, I'd never do any of it myself.
Awww, that's crummy! I was sure things were going to work out this time. I like the sink, though. And those porcelain knobs are my favorite. We haven't done much with the aesthetics of our house, but we did put nice (pretty, but inexpensive) porcelain lever faucets in our two sinks.
So when do we hear about the dumbass award????
Ah yes, more dumbass news pleese!

Thanks everyone.
Robin,
Would you believe that we go the sink (and faucet) at Lowe's of all places? I can't remember what brand it is (we still have the box, I can check if you are interested). At the time it was the cheapest pedistal sink we liked. I think we paid under $100 for the whole thing, thought the price has gone up to around $110 since then.
Kathy and Maryam, the Dumbass cometh!
