Ok so my wife is back from weekend of shopping with her mom with lots of stuff and has project for Z again (it's becoming weekly) anyway


I have this "sink" or what she claims is a sink. Looks like a bowl with a hole to me.

Need to go here, but as you see there is a real live sink there. None of this bowl and you figure it out shit.

What else do I need to buy to make this work besides faucet?

Aw man.....my gf wants to get one of those. I had the same reaction when I saw that "bowl".

If you go to home depot, they have a whole section dedicated to these bowls/

Get an extension cord and a light socket.
Turn the bowl upside down.
Place bulb into the mouth of the bowl and through the hole.
Thread bulb into socket.
Plug into extension cord.
Hang extension cord from ceiling over existing sink.
Plug in extension cord.
You now have a new light fixture.

Man up and stop letting girlish ideas take over the throne room. That womanly paint job on the walls is already far enough! If you let this trend continue, you'll soon be installing a bidet and washing your vag a few times daily.

I installed one of these glass bowls for my mom in her bathroom. Pain in the ass to install. The one my mom had you couldn't get parts for at Home Depot cus the gaskets they sold wouldn't fit so had to make my own. If I was you I'd return that shit. I hate them.

This should help you (any good plumbing supply will have the proper drain unit)

Thanks, I guess. Printed it out. Looks pretty involved as sinks go but the good thing is I have a little reprieve as she is tasked to find a suitable cabinet.:awe:

Have to say I'm not fond of the look even competed.:thumbsdown:

Then again what do I know...put me in a single wide mobile home with Formica everywhere and I'll be happy and richer.

Tell your woman I think the current sink goes better with the toilet, and that you have better things to do then to install flawed bowls.

Man you're smart. Or left brained. Good idea!


Wait a minute... what if she want a new toilet to match after I tell her that? Not so smart after all me thinks. Have to think about it.

You COULD just drop the dammed thing...repeatedly if necessary...

"Ah geez, I'm sorry."

She will eventually want a new Zebo to match her shoes. Better not mention matching ever at all.

Take bowl and whack woman over head with it.

I does what it's told. Learned a long time ago don't argue about house stuff.

You did not see my thread about a $650 freken laundry room sink or you'd know I'm screwed.

When you go out with your friends, (assuming you're allowed to do so) does she let you take your balls with you, or does she keep them so they won't get you in trouble?

They pull the neanderthal card on me. As in "what do you know about style" Three women. My mom, her mom, and her. It's kinda true I know it.

Yeah, it's tough for a guy to express "function over style" when he's drowning in estrogen...:p
