I'm renovating a room that had a sink in it that we no longer want.
I've removed the fixture and am left with two 3/8" copper pipes coming
up out of the floor and the 1.5" drain pipe (I assume its copper) out
of the wall. The floor is currently tiled, and we are going to be
carpeting over top of the tile and also painting the walls. What is
the best (and easiest) way to cut and cap the protruding pipes flush
with the floor/wall? It would be ideal not to be able to see or feel
them at all when all is said and done, but I realize that might not be
possible.
