I'm so excited!! I did it!

Fantastic. Well done. The sink pipe is a bigger job though. I don't know US pipework so I won't advise about sizes and plumbing requirements. But the first thing to remember is to turn the water off at the mains pipe. Not doing so will result in a swimming pool where you currently don't have one, and probably don't want one either. Prepare properly before hand. The internet has lots of useful sites, some with videos that should be able to help you. Otherwise make sure that the area is accessible, that you put toweling down to catch any spillage and take your time. If you go to a builder's supplies store, I bet you'll find that there's someone there that will be able to talk you through the whole routine. Well done again. I'm proud of you.

Hey hey, you are genius even it is a toilet. I can not even I tried it before. My toilet was stuck, so I put a lot of chemical to make the pipe clear... but can not... finally I have to call someone come and fix it:)

I'm so proud of you! Now you can join a fixer-upper club= )
Do you ever watch DIY tv? (Do It Yourself) I love those home improvement shows... they make it look easy and give us confidence in trying projects at home. I totally love the ones like Trading Spaces, While You Were Out and Monster House (if that one is still running?) Tony and I always said that once we became home owners that we wanted to sign up for a bunch of them! Too bad we aren't neighbors because we could trade spaces, learn some inexpensive home improvements and help each other makeover a room with the shows $2,000 room budget!
Before purchasing self-help videos, check out what your local library has to borrow first. You'd be suprised what you can find online for free too! I have a feeling that there's no stopping you now; )
GOOD LUCK, Babe!

Here are a few I found for you to get started:

Yay!!! Congrats!
You are officially a handywoman now!
Now for the sink..
Questions..
Are you talking about the drain pipe or the water supply?
What kind of pipe is it? Is it PVC?
If its the drain and its PVC it shouldnt be that dificult
Hopefully whomever put it in didnt use PVC glue LOL
First shut the water off just so you or someone else isnt tempted to turn it on.
then go under the sink and unscrew the fitting from the bottom of the sink
Be sure to have a bucket and/or towel under where you are working in case there is any water still in the line
Now un screw the other fitting from the main "T" pipe
be sure your new pipe is the same length and diameter and it has the prpoer fittings (if need be take it to the hardware store with you)
the new one you can just put on the same way you took the old one off but reversed
Screw it into the main "T" first and then into the bottom of the sink
These fittings you will have to make sure are good and tight so they dont leak.
Hope all that helps

I actually do have a home repair story..and i was really proud of myself at the time too lol my aunt needed her back door put on her house and I had never done anything like this before...and i was like 17 years old or something like that..so i took the back door off of her house and put the new one back on and even put the door knob on too..

wow...that's awesome.you should be really proud...it's really uneasy to see something is wrong in the house, sometimes we really have to be resourceful and determined to do things...no matter what it is. good luck to you! and keep it up!

Way to Go girl!! I bet you do feel proud in being able to fix that toilet of yours. Hey, if you have some spare time maybe you could come over my place and do some repairs...LOL I have a super in my apt building that can't fix squat! I usually wind up fixing a few things around the apt too out of desperation and cause like I said my super can't fix anything..I haven't had to do any repairs in awhile...uh, yet
As far as that hole in the pipe...how large is it? Sometimes if it's not too large as I've had holes in my pipes too, I just wind up and wrap around good old duct tape...works wonders!

We do not own our own home so i dont fix much around the house, but i think i am more handy then my hubby lol. I enjoy fixing and building things. But i'm like you, i am scared when i do it, and then when its done i'm SO proud of myself and think WOW if i can do that i can do ANYTHING!! hehe carefull with the pipe if its attatched to running water, dont forget to shut all the water off and have a bucket and towel ready just incase!! lol or maybe a mop!*giggleS*

Good luck if you try to tackle the kitchen!

I don't know how to tell you to fix the pipe from the sink. I wouldn't know where to start, but well done you, at fixing the toilet! Great job!

It just goes to show, doesn't it, that we women are not as daft as the men think we are? You've truly made a good mark in the book for women's achievements. Congratulations. You deserve to be excited and proud.

Brightest Blessings.

I know just how you feel! I have always enjoyed putting furniture together, because it gives me that rush to know I've "made something out of nothing." Recently, I accidentally broke my ceiling fan and needed to do something about it. There was a fan in the other room that I never used, but that room needed a light on the ceiling instead. Without buying anything new and with a set of instructions to a different ceiling fan, I replaced the broken fan with the working fan and installed a light in the room where the working fan had been. I had never worked with electricity before, but it was fascinating! Thanks for sharing.
