Adventures in plumbing


~Shockwave~

My grandmother put a hole in the bottom of her sink, so my dad and I offered to replace it.

 

Things I learned and or random commentary:

 

When using a screwdriver to punch a hole in a metal outlet box, realize that your hand should not be on the other side of the hole you are punching out. It will hurt, and bleed.

 

Outlets are a pain to wire in when you can't see what you're doing.

 

GFCI outlets can be wired wrong. (Ok, technically I knew that.)

 

If you are screwing in a screw above you, realize your face is underneath it and be thankful it wasn't a gosh darn drill.

 

Old sink pipes are disgusting.

 

No, I haven't gotten all the sink securer things figured out yet, I'll tell you when I'm ready to give up. It's only been like half an hour. Can we drop it now?

 

Drills are a pain to use in a tight space.

 

What kind of special person wires a flipping garbage disposal to a switch using a 3 way wire outside of a box? The amount of things that could go wrong is astonishing. You don't do that. especially under a kitchen sink. (Seriously, the wire pigtail fasteners where just hanging under the garbage disposal. That's so very incredibly bad.)

 

Why is the dishwasher leaking?

 

That about sums it up.
