The kitchen sink has been leaking since we moved in (remember that this is a brand-new house) and I finally got sick of it this weekend.
I went to find out what was wrong and discovered that the plumber the contractor hired must have been Britney Spears. Every stainless steel fitting was cross-threaded. I had to put new drains in both sides, but couldn't figure out how to get the old ones off. So after buying new pliers and traveling 60 miles one-way to get a couple of tools and some plumber's putty, I got the damn thing apart at about 1:15 this morning.
20 minutes it took me to get it back together (no leaks), another 10 minutes to clean up, and here we are at the computer just after 2:00 nursing a beer and basking in my own glory. If only someone were awake to share this with me.
Now if you don't mind, I'm late for Labor Day.
