I just took out my sink

[Kirkland Laing]

I’m starting a new series of useless threads so I can come here and read shit other than covid and trump.

And we appreciate your honesty.

In fact, I was just about to start a new "Who gives a shit?" thread but now I see it's not needed... as you've explained the method behind your madness.

Thanks. Just an update granite counters are in, sink itself is in but I’m having issues with the plumbing. Got all the crap I need but forgot the plumbers tape. It’s kind of a pain in the ass not having the faucet in. I should have planned this better and taken a day off. Might do the faucet tonight and the rest of the plumbing Tuesday. I am off on thanksgiving but I’d hate to be under my counters on thanksgiving. Might be the only option.

Is this plumber's tape to seal up wastes? In England they have these rubber cones with a washer and you wiggle it onto the waste, put its washer on, put the backnut on and tighten the backnut up. Instant seal. Brilliant bloody invention.

You're in the right country for granite but there are seven differnent grades. It depends how high up the mountain the granite comes from. Atmospheric pressure and all that. The worst grade you can chip with a heavy glass if you're not careful.
