I'm trying to install a sink today

https://manifold.markets/Fion/will-i-successfully-install-my-sink

It seems likely I will need to buy pipes, fittings, maybe sealant (I haven't checked if I've already got some). It's a bit of a running joke that you always need more trips to the hardware shop than you think you will when you're doing DIY. I'll aim to get it all done in 1 trip, but will I be successful?

Market resolves to the number of trips I make between now and the sink being properly installed. See the other market for details of what that means.

I will bet in this market, but I promise not to manipulate it. (Doing so would mean potentially damaging my chances of installing my sink successfully, so I wouldn't do that.) Of course, I will be trying to keep the number of trips down, but only because that's the best way to do it for the sake of the project.

Month long sink adventure, poor guy

@Pykess To be honest, for most of that time it was just a case of not getting around to it. It's been basically functional for a couple of weeks, just needing sealed.

Simon FillatboughtṀ202 YES

@SimonFillat as mentioned in the comments, I've already made 3 trips so there's no possibility of this option resolving YES. You should sell before somebody else buys lots of NO!

bought Ṁ250 3 YES

I've rigged up the drainage a couple of days ago, which was the part that was causing me headaches. Think there was a leak so I took it apart and put some PTFE on today. Think it's probably water tight now.

I haven't yet siliconed it to the wall, but I don't anticipate needing to make any more trips for that. I've got plenty of silicone. I'll resolve this market after I've siliconed it (or decided not to, but I think I will). But I think it's very unlikely to require another trip now.

bought Ṁ5 3 NO

Will you resolve the sub-options as they become known (e.g. 0 resolves NO when you make the first trip)?

@SonataGreen no, unfortunately with this type of market I can't do that. But I've been giving updates in the comments. It's already been 3 trips.

The banner predicts your destiny.

@a2bb hahaha perfect 😂

I've been using the sink with no drainage but a bucket underneath for several days. Hoping to find time to get back to it this evening!

bought Ṁ10 5 or more NO

Forgot to give an update last night. Made another trip for the part that wasn't in stock last time. I think I have everything I need now, but the job isn't finished yet so anything is possible

I stopped giving updates because it became a bit of a "get to the shops before they close" game. But I have already made 2 trips and the job isn't finished yet, so probably still a 3rd to come.

I might have got it in 2 trips if the shop had more parts in stock...

On my way for my first trip! Going to pick up sealant, a trap, and hopefully some appropriate pipes and connectors to connect up the trap.

Still 0 so far :O
