Is it just me, or did that sink not have a P-trap?

[@MrG25AmunRa]

Buddy had the gangsta snap on those glasses 😂

[@fixmyhouse]

No background music. No graphics. No nonsense. Pure legit valuable information.

[@Watch-Me-Now]

Where’s the P-trap for this sink?

[@philipscoggins]

Thanks! I just did this in my old house and out of all the internet, this video was the most helpful!!! I did hire a plumber to tap my old supply line, but I felt comfortable doing the rest myself. 👍

[@ChieCarroll]

Just watched this, so helpful! We got a quote to install the dishwasher under our sink that has never had any dishwasher. Unfortunately, the charge was too high that we can't afford it. So I sure hope we could follow this, it looks so simple and easy to follow and install the coming dishwasher 🙏😊🤪

[@lcaunan]

There is no P trap. Did Richard mention anything about that?

[@joshuamartinez2444]

Dang I have had a dishwasher in my mud room since 2013. Still not installed. I’m showing my husband this video

[@santosshernandezjr8553]

Does anybody notice there’s no p trap?

[@proverbsjohnson7594]

So our home was built in 1928. It still has all original woodwork and cabinets (which is why I fell in love with it) but no dishwasher. Being the mom of 4, and having to work and take care of home I realize how much I truly miss having a dishwasher. Thank you for this video. Great job!

[@BobbyBaloney]

Richard is the best : explains clearly, shows and educate brilliantly

[@billsmith9249]

[@jerzsubbie]

Smooth to black, ribbed to white, exactly what I was looking for, thanks!!

[@holeshot1721]

This was a great episode! Im so thankful great people take time to make these videos for us!!

[@88blackandwhite88]

Excellent video. I love seeing demonstrations done the RIGHT way. Well done!

[@add422123456789]

This video was perfect just what i needed!

[@shurryma]

This was so well explained. Thank you!

[@JamesJones-ie2fm]

Very good how to. Learned a lot by watching it, don't think I'll need a plumber to install my new one after watching this.
