The old sink was hideous (according to my wife) so it was replaced. There was several issues that needed dealt with under the sink, so I yanked everything out and started over.
- The drain was leaking
- There was a garbage disposal installed which we never use (we compost everything.) Besides, garbage disposals are really bad for septic tanks...which we have.
- The dishwasher was "tapped" into an old copper drain line and the tap was not properly soldered in. It was also on the wrong side of the gooseneck.
- Water lines were installed with pliers and the lines were in questionable shape.

| The hideous sink |
 |
| Leaking plumbing and garbage disposal. |
 |
| This was the drain line. they tried to hold it together with several rubber boots. It didn't work |
 |
| This is the bottom of the copper drain line |
 |
| A better view |
 |
| Some hokey electrical work. It has to go! |
 |
| One wire nut just fell off when I unwrapped the tape. This is how fires get started! |
 |
| The garbage disposal removed and most of the plumbing pulled out. Fortunately, we were at the hardware store and some people were looking to buy a garbage disposal. I gave them this one instead. |
 |
| The dishwasher drain hooked into the wrong side of the gooseneck |
 |
| This is totally non-repairable. It has to come out. Time to go get the torch. |
 |
| The copper drain line cut off and cleaned up. Ready for a new tie in. |
