    I just purchased a Snappy Trap drain kit today. I really liked that it had almost all parts necessary for any possible problem! Saved me a trip to the hardware store. The accordion pipe is smooth inside, and stretches a bit if you need it. Great improvement! I will only buy Snappy for new plumbing jobs.
    Thank you for the video! Great job!

    I hate to admit it, but I have used these flexible pipes and I know its not right. But when you are low on money, you just do what you can do.
    But happy to say, I fixed it at a later time.

      I get it. Not my favorite stuff. I just replaced the last one in my house this week. The price difference is not that much if you do that yourself. Glad you got it hooked up.

    Make sure you ream every piece of pipe you cut, it leaves a rough edge where hair will collect over time and cause a blockage. Otherwise a job well done!

    illegal or not, when you realize that new replacement sink you you just dropped in on the caulk and you don't want to mess with that, and then you have another "FUCK !" moment when you see that hole off from the original, you just want to pull out your last strand of hair, then you run to lowes and grab one of those suckers. Done - at least until you can properly do the work.
