The bathtub drain assembly has needed changing for quite a while. We had to have a day off, during the week, to get the necessary tools and parts, remove the old one, take it in to get the right replacement, install it. This took some doing. We started Monday. Finished it today.
Both of us have sore upper arms and necks and back pain, sore knees. It took more tools, hammering and twisting than we'd hoped. Not to mention more youtube videos for instructions. I'd given up, and we called a plumber - who was going to come this afternoon. Dylan decided to keep trying, and eventually he got the old one out. I was impressed. We went back to the plumbing supply store, got the new drain, put it in, left it overnight. I cleaned the tub thoroughly this morning. As far as we can tell, it's working. We'll check for leaks in the basement later.
Planning to walk around the park in a little bit.

Congratulations, you persisted, etc.
Sabine,
Such a job. We are sore, but glad it's done. Cat piss does a number on potmetal. Moby loves going in the tub. It's a cat thing, we wouldn't understand.
a bad drain can be a pain!
mr. monkey is a huge believer in learning by youtube. saved us oodles of moolah!
pc,
Corroded to hell.
A walk in the park solves many things
Great job. Certainly nothing I would venture to do.
