How Not to Install a Bathroom Sink

Based on our recent personal experience, I have created a list for anyone preparing to replace their bathroom sink. I'm still unsure of the proper way to do it, but I have a pretty good idea of what not to do:
  1. Begin during a mid-summer heat wave with no AC.
  2. Give up on figuring out how to shut off water to the bathroom; just shut it off to the whole house.
  3. Assume that your sink has traditional size pipes (or that the size marked on your pipes is accurate).
  4. Wait to begin until a Sunday night when all of the hardware stores are closed.
  5. Be really busy at work so that you're working extra hours instead of fixing the bathroom sink (or more importantly, turning water back on to the house).
  6. Don't buy bottled water; there is plenty of liquor in the cabinets to hold you over while you sweat to death.
