I need a PLUMBER....

bullfiddle · 01-25-2008, 05:51 PM

Ok so it's like this I came home tonight and the Units gone.... I start to fix myself something for dinner and I walk over by the kitchen sink and I here a squishing sound. Well I have laminate wood floor in the kitchen and the water is pushing up through the seams. I put down this pad like stuff when I put the floor down that has a plastic back on it so I am thinking the water is just between the plastic and the laminate floor. I am hoping this is the case. So I look under the sink and evidently the Unit had nocked the drain loose from the sink drainer (it's all plastic) So it looks like I will be spending most of the day tomorrow laying under the sink replacing it with a metal drain kit....

You have my simpathy fiddle. I don't fit under sinks either! My unit wants me to plumb up a dog washing tub and sink in the basment so she can torture my three springers.

I made the switch to plastic this year....

Good luck buddy.
