Four FRUSTRATING hours (and a hacksaw) later...

Okay.(Grumble).
Just ONCE I would like one of these home improvement jobs to go as planned. The PVC pipe was not budging. Trust me. I tried. I finally called Lowes to ask about their "installation/removal" services. $150. Not too bad, considering that at this point I am ready to set the sink on fire. I drove down to Lowes to sign the paperwork. $150? Oh no, more like $325. No thanks boys, I'll figure it out. The guy there recommended I buy a hack saw because you can saw through the pvc. Hmm. interesting. $8 later, I'm on my way home again. I sawed through the pipe - which relieved a LOT of aggression. Again I am ready to take on the world (or maybe just the bathroom). To my dismay, I realized the water pipes are also stuck. But they are not pvc, and again, I am screwed. Plus while sawing, I hit my finger on a plastic bucket so hard that bled and caught my arm on a nail. I basically look like a small child beat me up.
# of Trips to Lowes - 2
Current state of bathroom... same as before.
