Jay, where in the hell did you find this bathroom that has lived under water all this time? This is awful. If I were to grade this from A-F, I would give it a "G", for Goddarn people, did you not see before this mess got so far along you had a problem?
Looks like this place was flooded with Acidic Rain for a couple of years.

the saddest part is that they said that they didn’t have the money to have a plumber come out and fix it LAST YEAR when it was just a drip. another case of the grand canyon effect.

Yep. I find water damaged sink cabinets all the time that could have been avoided if someone in the house had simply tightened a compression ring nut on a drain. Found one last year that they knew it was leaking. Their answer was to put a wax paper cut from a burger joint under the leak. Of course wax paper cups have a relatively short life span before they start to leak too. That wasn’t enough though. They figured out it was a pretty good ashtray too with all that water in it. Before it was all said and done the cabinet bottom was rotted out and the sub-flooring under that as well. I spend a lot of time just shaking my head in wonder at some people.

hey Doug, i think you already know, but for those who want to sound a little smarter, that collar nut you speek of on a p-trap is called a “desanco” (…nut or …washer.) just my 4.3 cents.

Jay,
LOL. You use proper terminology too much around here folks look at you like a calf staring at new gate. That thar is called a “slip joint nut” or the more techinical term…that thingamajiggy.

true Doug. but sometimes i find that people tend to trust me more if i use words they don’t understand. that’s why i think my doctor is pretty well edumakated.
