plumb dumb

so i just got off the phone with the plumber. it seems no one needs to come to the house to do the estimate. we want the bathroom sink in this house switched with the bathroom sink in our old house, and it's going to be $150 an hour and likely 3 hours' work. because none of the parts are coming from the plumber, there will be no warranty on anything. not that we're big freaks for warranties. so, then $450 plus tax. how badly do we want the sinks switched? i'm going to have to go back to the old house and look at that sink again. and we'll get other estimates of course.

so my day lies ahead of me now. kara just left for work. i'm about 1000 words behind on the story i'm writing, so i need to get cranking on that. there are errands that need to be accomplished. i'll probably get going on those too. i need to get in the garage and hop on that bike for a while too.

i want to figure out my new digital camera so i can start posting photos here. all this is so new!

if you're even the least bit handy, i have to tell you that installing a sink is one of the easiest home improvement projects you can take on yourself.

seriously. ask me how. (or google it.)

Lex, did you ever imagine you'd take up bandwidth talking about PLUMBING?! Where is the fey poet boy I knew so long ago?

Plumbing? "Ask my wife"? Insert joke here about laying pipe.
