We sprung a leak

Our goal for the week is to finish priming the kitchen and move the stove and fridge back in before his parents arrive on Thursday. So Monday and today we worked on the kitchen. We patched the oopses from Sunday so we couldn't prime the kitchen again until Tuesday. The remaining 2 walls were done and 3/4 of the ceiling when all of a sudden Chris notices he's making wet footprints instead of dry ones from the sanding.

OH $#+%$@!! THE KITCHEN SINK IS LEAKING!! OH $%^(&*! IS THE TILE OKAY???

We have a double stainless steel kitchen sink and if you recall, Chris' dad installed a garbage disposal in the kitchen as well as put in a P trap. Well, we guess when Chris stood on the counter to tape the cabinets, something got loose in the pipes and all the joints came appart. The only casualty was a soggy roll of paper towels. Luckily the smoke alarms were still in their plastic packaging. Not sure why they were stored under the sink, but whatever. We mopped up the water and let the fan dry the rest. After a while Chris was able to tighten all the fittings and get it back to working order. But for a minute there, it was pretty stressing. Maybe we should learn more about plumbing.
