I’m a first time home owner with a real fixer upper! The last year I have diyed just about everything but this is my first attempt at plumbing (other than replacing a toilet). I am replacing my sink (going from a shallow two bowl to a deeper one bowl) and would like to correct the plumbing under the sink. I don’t know the correct terminology to use, but I know this is not the correct way a sink should be plumbed. I’d like to take the time to learn, take it apart and, put it back together with new pipes so it’s done correctly. I’m really confused as to why wastewater must be “pushed up hill.” I have no idea where to even begin, could anyone help me understand what I am looking at and direct me to the best way to get the plumbing in good working order?
Also, I was given a used (but in perfect working condition) dishwasher. I’ve gotten decent with woodwork so I know I could cut the cabinets out next to the sink and get the dishwasher to fit. I also have an existing power outlet I can drop to the dishwater, but with my sink situation do you all think it would be possible to make happen or am
I setting myself up for disaster? It would just be a real treat to not have to hand wash everything!
Other info: This home was a homeowner self-build in the early 70s so much of what he did was not up to code then and definitely not code now.
Thanks very much!
