Mounting faucet to porcelain sink-Use putty/caulk/silicone?

- Yes they do and they're what rots-out first and takes the rest of the assembly with it. Thus, why there shouldn't be loose joints nor plugs in the trap or where water always sits. My way, you get the same or better convenience without the pre-mature failure. Every piece of the entire plumbing system lasting the same amount of time is the goal.

- Uh-huh, right. Really, that's what I said and meant...right? Plumbers could just ride around with their Drain Augers in their front bicycle baskets. Stop eating the putty.

- Again, how is it acceptable to re-pipe and/or re-drain a sink when the entire rest of the building's system behind the walls needs nothing? It's a common, regular and constant problem that needed addressing. And, what if the reverse could be true? I think it would be great to not have my property damaged nor my life disrupted and to be able to re-use my drain assemblies endlessly with full confidence.

So, you might want to rethink who the dipshit is. Because for what you said to work, the plumber would have to know what's there before they leave. And then unload the truck in their yard. And then hope that they didn't need any other tools.

So, how many worthless product industries have you eliminated so far?

Stainless Steel is unbeaten and while Plastic

Keeps spinning and diverting all you want. The question was about mounting a sink faucet. You started in about drains, now you're starting in about plastic drains, which again no one brought up or recommended. Whatever floats your boat over there at homemoanershub.

I'm sure you do.

Why is it stupid to replace a kitchen or bath that's 20 years old if you want something different, better, and can afford it? Is everyone supposed to live like you?

- I'm sorry, I didn't realize how far gone you were. Here's how it works, in the real and normal world:

The plumber arrives with a stocked truck ready to handle most anything. They get out of the truck and ring the doorbell to greet the owner and go assess the problem, to determine what they'll need to address the problem. Then and only then, do they go back to the truck to get only what they need.

- Unfortunately, I haven't and won't eliminate any industries, since I'm a little nobody. But, I won't use their stuff and can remove them from the equation. I'm working on removing Plastics, Brass, Galvanized Steel, Asphalt everything, Furnaces and Boilers, Non-structural Steel Studs, Most Insulations, Drywall and especially its horizontal installation of idiocy, NASA, Government, Money, and at least a few more.

- Sorry, I thought we were beyond that and now discussing important things...since neither Lisa nor Tabitha were part of the conversation at any point. But sure, try and flip it on me. I think you and I are done...before we started. Have a nice day.

Wow, you allegedly saved a plumber bringing what extra from the truck into the house with your miracle sink plumbing? Good grief.

Nuff said, now we know you're nuts. I suppose she should throw out her furnace and drywall too.
