The Canadian Tire P-trap doesn’t fit. The pipes are 1-1/2″, and this P-trap is 2″. Nonetheless, I found the right one. Where? In the plumbing box. <sigh>
The tenants need a shower, but the shower door still needs to be resized. In the mean time, a simple shower curtain will suffice.
Along with a shower curtain, screws to hold the window cranks on.
More outlets, switches, etc. were mounted along with the shower light.
The sink is old. The tenant had a choice between the old, standard, stainless steel and the new style white ceramic (from Home Depot, $100, originally $400). They chose the stainless as the other had a low divider between the two sinks.
The countertops were next. Floyd came by to help put them in. He caught a mistake that would have cost me another 6′ countertop. Thanks, Floyd.
It meant moving things back and forth from one countertop to the other.
Next, a sink hole. (This whole house has been a sink hole.)
I now need some sink anchors. It is just sitting there now.
The plumbing hole was cut in the cabinet a while ago. The one thing I didn’t cut was the vent hole. Oops.
With all these parts left over from other projects, you would think I could find enough to create a kitchen P-trap.
No. The guys at Emco set me up with parts and advice. The basket threads were damaged, so a new basket is needed, and all the P-trap parts are lined up in a demonstration, ready to install.
Meanwhile back at the house, I still have no vent hole. I have downpipes.
A dry-run.
I handed the assembly to Floyd, and he extracted each part in turn starting at the bottom so I could glue them in one at a time.
Next, the faucet. I think it looks kind of weird – stainless and black. Maybe I’ll get a black sink one day.
The kitchen was cleaned. The countertops aren’t actually attached yet.
Lastly, the very, very dirty shower was cleaned.
Almost lastly. I still had some organizing and putting away to do with all my tools outside.
Plan: A day off tomorrow, the first in many, many weeks.
