Looks like now's the time to learn. OR sell the place as is. You start contracting this type of repair out, you'll be knee deep in $$$$ outlay. Pay some merry maids cleaning crew to come in do a top - bottom. Pay them, slap a for sale sign out and wait.

I hear ya. However, I have floor refinishing, tile work, carpet to pull up, counter top replacement, some drywall repair, some electrical, paint, some siding replacement, and the yard to clean up. I would rather focus on the things I am good at and outsource what I am not. I had several things that were due for replacement already plus the damage. I am pretty much screwed when it comes to the "$$$$ outlay". Speaking of which, I have done several bathrooms all the plumbing, electrical, and tile...just don't want to deal with the drain on this one; it's a choice and money well spent.

I no longer have the hardware to connect the overflow to the tub. I talked to the people reference in the thread, and the hookup replacement is my only option.

Ahh, I see.
