    I woke this morning to a leaking bathroom sink in my 5 year old house.

    The stupid builders did not fit a drain (or waste) with an overflow so the water was pooling inside the sink cavity and causing corrosion.

    I saw a replacement at The Warehouse for $30-something that did have an overflow but was crap. I kept driving to a professional plumbing supply and picked up a much better quality one for $40-something.

    It was a good thing I had today off otherwise I would be brushing my teeth in someone else’s bathroom until Saturday.

        Sometimes I wonder if they don’t build houses shoddily so that The Warehouse stays in business selling $10 AliExpress crap with a 400% markup.
