Okay, this isn’t about Life on the Deck, but a broken sink takes time away from your life on the deck and I found this great website with tutorials on how to fix things that I wanted to share it.
A couple of days ago I went downstairs to where my office is located and I walked through a very wet carpet. My first thought was that the kids had a bath night before and they had a bit too much fun and sent water every where.
I found this was not the case and then I started the investigation and eventually found the problem was a broken drainpipe in the bathroom sink. The drain pipe is the part that connects your sink to the rest of the system. In my case, the metal part that you see when you look into your sink had snapped off. I did a quick review of installing sinks from my old copy of “Readers Digest New Complete Do-It-Yourself Manual”…this is how I know that part is called the drain pipe. I then headed off to o Home Depot to get the new part.
I got the part and had a quick chat with the Home Depot sales rep to understand how to replace it. When I got home I felt pretty knowledgeable about what I needed to, but after a few minutes I needed more information on the proper installation. This is when I went to the Internet and found a great site that totally explained the process with narration and videos. I found this a great help because it explained the complete process.
Here’s a link to the page that explains how to replace a bathroom faucet. If you are just replacing the drainpipe you can go to number 8 at the top.
