I helped my best friend cut get his kitchen sink put in the new countertop. Last week I hauled the cabinet & countertop for him from the store & earlier this week I put waterseal on the bottom of the cabinet to protect it from water leaks. He was going to try a complicated way of cutting the countertop & I had an easier solution. I had him put the sink face down on the top, figure out where it would sit, then mark out the area w/ painter's tape, set it again, traced around the sink, then measured 1/2" in (that's how much overhang there was) in multiple places, used a straight edge to connect the marks, then told him to drill 4 holes (1 in each corner). So every time there was a direction change, he just lined up the jigsaw inside the hole at the correct angle. Ran out of battery power & the charger I brought wasn't working so I had to drive home & grab my other charger & bring it back.
I brought my mother over so she could do her taxes (he fixed her computer & had it set up there). She finished them & watched TV while we waited for the batteries to charge. Tomorrow I'm going over early to help him w/ the DWV part of the plumbing. He needs a new drain & some slip-fit pvc bc the old setup broke. I also am going to get him to put a vent on it. He was just going to do an S-trap but I talked him out of it.
This time I made sure he's using a wye instead of a tee for the bottom & I'm going to have him put a cleanout on it. Once we get his sink & plumbing all fixed up, he's going to help me try to mouse-proof Mom's computer. I got some fiberglass screen to try. Little buggers have ruined 3 video cards by somehow squeezing in & pissing all over.
If there's time, I might help him stain the cabinet.
