  • Thanks Richard now I know plumber putty is a thing. My new strainer doesn't leak now that I got a can.

  • I love these videos but I believe that every DIY youtube video should have a disclaimer reading: if you are new to DIY and you are planning to install the plumbing for your entire kitchen by yourself, even though this video is 4 mins you should expect and plan to spend the entire day doing what they did in 4 mins :)

  • How "high" in the cabinet or behind the wall  should the vent go ?

  • What is the actual straight pipe drop length from sink before it curves

  • I have a question when I’m washing dishes and the sink is running the water pressure drops off. Then if I pull out the spray nozzle hose the pressure comes back? Can someone please help it’s driving me nuts

  • This video should be titled How NOT to Install the Plumbing for a Kitchen Sink

  • Will that longer dishwasher discharge hose be a problem with time? Like could particles slowly collect at the bottom of that big bend? I'm not a plumber by any means so feel free to correct me.
