Well, :monkey:s... does anyone know anything about installing a bathroom sink? One that just is kind of attached to the wall. Specifically, how its braced to the wall?

Apparently in a drunken stuper I managed to damage my buddies bathroom sink (i.e. its loose from the wall and leaking) :( I feel horrible about it and want to go over there and fix it but I haven't the slightest Idea how one of those mo-fo's are attached to the wall.

Your buddy will appreciate you hiring a plumber or providing parts more than you screwing the whole thing up. :think: You might want to hit a forum like www.bathroomsinks.com instead of ridemonkey for this one.

They bolt to support braces behind the drywall. If you look you should see a 2x4 cross brace to bolt it into. If not, you'll have some carpentry, drywall, AND plumbing to do........ :thumb:

Now that I was no help I would like to create the story about how it was broken -

"I was laying the pipe line a rough neck on the crew, when I threw her up on the sink. She's a little girl, but with meat like I gots, it is hard not to tear things up. I got a thrill, she is in convulsions, and now I got to learn how to plumb. The only thing I know about plumbing is ass cracks."

The place is a POS... fragile old house and too much weight got applied to the sink. I'm going to leave it at that.

By the way - the bolts are not making it leak. I know that much. Sounds like a pain in the rear.

Does he rent or own? If he rents, maybe the landlord has someone who can do it fairly cheap. A lot of people who rent out older places have "a guy" who can fix stuff like that for a decent price.

If it's old, and you are not an exp'd plumber. DFWI! (don' "fool" w/it). It's definitely worth paying to have someone qualified mess w/that crap instead of you.


[EDIT for typo. . . hope I beat the TYPE-O 5-0]

Whew... called a buddy that is a painter/home improvement dude... hes gonna hook me up with the fix-it talent if I can hook him up with $20 worth of KB.

And now that I dont feel so stressed...

Three men are in a bar, all very drunk, and talking to each
other, bragging about their families. The first guy says,
"I have four sons. One more and I'll have a basketball team."

The second guy says, "That's nothin'. I have eleven sons. One
more and I'll have a football team."

The third guy, the drunkest of them all replies "pleeease. I have seventeen wives. One more and I'll have a golf course."

:p

If KB is killer bud, you might want to negiotiate a fix then pay policy.

Naah, he knows what he's doing. I trust him fully when it comes to home repair. Its not like the plumbing in the entire house is jacked.
