I'm officially a man

Yeap, you read it here first. Today, I replaced our bathroom sink, faucet and all of the associated plumbing. Admittedly it took me awhile to get it right, but once I did... What a feeling. I've worked on alot of stuff in the house of course (my cousin, father, wife and I completely gutted, designed and remodeled our kitchen after-all) but this was my first real solo job to my knowledge. To top it off, I think I got rather stoned from the PVC glue and cleaner... WOOEEE was I dizzy. Simply put, it explains why plumbers are always such absolute weirdos. Indirectly sniff this stuff for 30 min and you'll finally understand every plumber across the globe. Its been a few hours now and it STILL smells in there.

Seriously though, it is a great feeling to accomplish something like this "solo". Tomorrow we start staining all the wood in the house (which is pretty much the whole house - its a post and beam with about 10x as many beams as the "norm") and the next day I am off to Home Depot to buy the same sink etc, to replace the one in our master bathroom. Hundred bucks says I can do it, start to finish, in one hour. Any takers?
