TRI-STATE PLUMBING

For nearly a year I have had a faucet that leaked from the handles. Previously another company came out to try to fix the problem twice and the problem persisted. It was suggested that if the problem continues that I need to invest in a new bathroom faucet. I bought a faucet and decided to replace the face bowl with a new, better quality one. The plumber quoted me a price and we set a date and time. He called 15 minutes ahead to let me know that he was on the way and arrived 5 minutes early. He asked me if I got the right sized face bowl and I said that I think that I did. He then measured it and the old face bowl and determined that I did indeed purchase the right size. He then asked me if I bought the adhesive to seal it with. I told him no and he asked why not and didn't they sell me some with the face bowl. I replied no. I asked him if some of the stuff under the sink would work and I was lucky enough to have some adhesive that he could use under there. The plumber asked me for a container to let water drain out of the P trap after he disconnected it. The container I brought was the wrong size. I got another container, it was the wrong size. He asked me where I was getting these containers from and promptly followed me into my kitchen looking through my cabinets for a proper container. When he was satisfied with what he found he went to work. He removed the plastic shelving that I had underneath the face bowl and placed it in my bedroom. After removing the old face bowl he asked me if I had a putty knife and some steel wool so he could clean the old adhesive off of the vanity surface. After I looked for about 5 minutes for some he said that's okay that he got most of it off. After finally installing the face bowl and the faucet I had to furnish towels for the water that managed to escape the before mentioned water catching container and P trap. The plumber then found that the drain was too short to reach the P trap and he would have to go to the supply store to get some pipe. When he returned he asked me if I had a knife that he could use the cut the pipe. After doing so he put everything back together and checked for leaks. Luckily there were none. He then left the old faucet, face bowl, dirty water and shelving from underneath the face bowl cabinet in my bedroom floor.
