Still working on this rental house for my inlaws.......started out that I was going to replace a rotten bathroom floor. I'm not sure how it turned into this but I've built 4 new drawers for the kitchen, replaced an 8 foot section of kitchen countertop, worked on two garage doors, had the main service panel replaced (it was a FUSE box, sheesh), and now it looks like I'm going to be painting the whole exterior! lol
I'm putting the sink and drain pipes back in place in the kitchen. They really had a rigged up mess in there -- which is why there was a leak there too. You really shouldn't HAVE to have a bucket under the trap ! lol
I have a 4 inch long glavanized pipe sticking out of the wall as the drain. I'm running plastic pipe down from the two sink strainers, through a trap and then I have to connect to this metal pipe. Is that an issue at all ? The section of tube that connects drain to trap has a "nut" that will screw onto the end of that galvanized pipe. Do I use teflon tape in that situation, a plastic nut on a metal pipe ?
Most of this is straight forward but the waters got a little muddy when it came to those two different types of material. Thanks for any feedback you can offer.
