Once it is squared up reach underneath and mark the wall. You move the sink out of the way and drill a hole large enough for the anchor to go through. This is a bit that is made to cut glass & tile. It is diamond-tipped. Here are the anchors installed in the sink ready to pop through the wall

At this point you slide the sink and pedestal back in place taking care to push the anchors through the tile into the wall. Because the bolt head is up under the sink and you cannot get a screwdriver to it I have installed a hex nut on the bolt. Once the toggle Wing expands and I screw the bolt down with my hand most of the way I can put a wrench on the hex nut and tighten the sink to the wall. Anytime you working with porcelain take care not to over tighten and to always tighten both sides evenly

Next you want to install a trap kit. It is a elbow, a trap piece which is u shaped and depending on the height of the drain protruding from the wall you may need a short piece of pipe to Extend high enough to reach the tailpipe

This coupling piece is accordion-style for making up two pipes which may not be Plumb. In this case I had to use it because I could not dictate the height or placement of the drain pipe which was existing

2017-12-06 23:20:57 UTC  

I could never be a plumber

2017-12-06 23:21:05 UTC  

They deserve every cent

2017-12-06 23:21:27 UTC  

Lastly you install your flexible lines from your valves to the fixture. Make sure not to over tighten these as they have a rubber insert and you will mash them and they could leak. In this picture you could also see a little more of the trap for the drain

I know it's almost as bad as being an electrician and you have to play in the shit. LOL

2017-12-06 23:22:07 UTC  

Right haha

2017-12-06 23:22:14 UTC  

Here's a picture of the sink and toilet installed.

2017-12-06 23:23:46 UTC  

Nice, is that a half bath?

2017-12-06 23:24:03 UTC  

In the next day or so I'm going to go over patching wall tile in a bathroom

2017-12-06 23:24:24 UTC  

No I'm standing in the shower. The half bath is the one with the damaged flange and I will be patching some tile in there as well

2017-12-06 23:24:54 UTC  

Oh word. Nice dude. I hate plumbing.

2017-12-06 23:25:47 UTC  

Me too but it pays. Gotta eat! Are you going to get on voice chat this Saturday if we can get everyone together and discuss the banners

2017-12-06 23:44:21 UTC  

Very nice @Deleted User

2017-12-06 23:45:00 UTC  

I recently took the faucet off my bathtub and filled it with hot glue.

2017-12-06 23:46:08 UTC  

Lol well it'll work for a while. Was it leaking/dripping alot

2017-12-06 23:47:12 UTC  

Yeah it’s oiled bronze with the plastic pull-up gate inside. I never use the faucet and wanted the pressure going to my shower head lol. So yeah. Glue.

2017-12-06 23:47:57 UTC  

That works.

2017-12-07 20:24:08 UTC  

Cross your fingers for me boys, I'm about to find out whether or not I get to take my Journeyman's test

2017-12-07 20:33:53 UTC  

What are you trying to find out if you have enough hours

2017-12-07 20:39:23 UTC  

Nah, test results from the last class of the apprenticeship program

2017-12-07 20:40:47 UTC  

If I pass, I'm set to be the youngest Journeyman in the company

2017-12-07 20:42:40 UTC  

I never went for my journeyman's license. When I started they weren't too worried about anyone having one . It wasn't until I became a foreman that I went to my Master's license

2017-12-07 20:49:05 UTC  

Yeah, the state doesn't enforce it. It's a certificate of competency more than anything. Pretty sure you need to be a J card holder for a few years before you can sit for a Master's in Florida

2017-12-07 20:52:41 UTC  

Yeah in Kentucky do you just have to have the additional hours before you can take the Masters. It's about A 5 hour test and it sucks

2017-12-07 20:57:03 UTC  

They don't want just any dumbass calling themselves an electrician

2017-12-07 21:24:18 UTC  

You’ll get it brother, no question.

2017-12-07 23:14:39 UTC  

Got a 91

2017-12-07 23:14:51 UTC  

That's straight A's all 8 semesters

2017-12-07 23:15:27 UTC  

Awesome, good for you!

2017-12-07 23:15:41 UTC  

Hells yes, just need to get the state cert now

2017-12-07 23:26:15 UTC  

That's great!! Now ask for more money. Kek

2017-12-07 23:26:23 UTC  

Jk

2017-12-07 23:27:18 UTC  

Oh believe me, I will

2017-12-07 23:42:13 UTC  

Congrats bro. @John O -
