Can’t stop now, replacing the sink and counter and now on deck!
Your bathroom looks so dated. It looks like it's from 1992, or 1986.
That's Laughable. A quote of $700 to change those faucet sink handles.
How much would it costs to redo the entire bathroom to modern standards....$350,000 for one bathroom?

Nice job Ken! I'll give you a laugh from long ago with plumbing. Just moved into our house, our first son was about 2, and I noticed the faucet was dripping water around where the handle moved. It was similar to yours, the handle moved up and down to turn off/on. I thought I could just loosen the cap piece below the handle a little bit and then screw it down tight to stop the leak. I unscrewed it too far and the thing blew off and did a geyser imitation in the kitchen. I ran down to the basement to turn off the main with our 2-year-old in hand and got the water off. Came upstairs, called my Dad to come over and help with the the little guy while I cleaned up. While on the phone my Dad got an earful of who's the dumb ass that said owning a home was a great idea.
Pretty sure he laughed all the way over.

Sounds like you had an adventure there! Good it turned out well.
Last week was the first time I turned off the main, fortunately it didn't break : o
Next up, kitchen sink
Sounds like you come from my world where DIY means destroy it yourself.
Lies! You said that almost two weeks ago! Why is your kitchen sink not done yet?!?
By the way, what is wrong with the kitchen sink? You are not doing it just for the sake of it I hope. Don't spend money on the thing unless you need to.
