ugh. I think I may be over my head. I am going to give it the good ol' DIY try before I cave in and call a pro.
we demo'ed a bathroom and are about to install a floating vanity that has a sink that also serves as a counter and that fancy type of chrome drain assembly often seen with vessel sinks. (It's the pretty drain assembly becuase you can see it when you pull out the vanity drawer.)
I bought the faucet, sink, and drain assembly seperately. The minimal paperwork that's included (merely identifying some but not all of the parts) is all written in spanish. some help that is!
Where I am currently: the 70% of the drain assembly has been fitted together. I do not know how to connect the metal sink drain (where the plunger sits) to the top of the pretty drain assembly, or how to connect the bottom (unthreaded) end of the assembly to the threaded plastic wall drain pipe that is a slightly larger diameter (1.75" vs 1.25" for the assembly pipe).
I know these are remedial plumbing questions that will inevitably lead to a few trips to home depot...
I think what I need right now is a really good primer video or website that shows step by step how to assemble one of these chrome drain assemblies, since the parts look different from the plastic pipes I'm somewhat familiar with. I've searched youtube and google for a while and didn't find anything for chrome pipe assemblies.
please advise! thanks......
