Sink drain mod

I finally did it, after threatening for two years I threw away the factory sink drain stoppers ( the bath room stopper went the farthest) and bought a multiple size package of old fashioned rubber stoppers and some lamp chain. Do I feel good now !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Larry

We don't use the stopper, so I bought some flat chrome caps with holes that just snap in the hole to keep rings, etc. from going down the drain.

Nope, I got the old fashioned ones that go into the drain about 1/4 to 1/2 inch with the nub on the top for the chain. Hope this explanation is clear enough. Larry

How far did the bathroom stopper go 19H F250 ? Just wondering what kind of distance we are talking here so when mine do the same I know what to expect. Well done !

Are new sink drain stoppers really considered a "Mod"?

Well then, I did a toilet-paper-roll "Mod" the other day.

It didn't take too long, and the new roll looks great. Nice and round.

I'm pretty proud of myself. I didn't even need to read the instructions.
