The quadman is in 'da house (or under the sink)....
Well, we left off here....

Then needing to get the chrome waste pipe out and saw through the brass threaded fitting in several spots. DAMN that brass was HARD....

Whew.... I FINALLY got that fitting out. After sawing several notches into the fitting, being scared ****less the whole time of getting into the threads, I was able to use a large flat head screw driver and pound them out. Keeping in mind I had to be careful as hell not to break my new sink from the bottom on the back stroke of my hammer blows....

Did I have enough tools to do the job?!? It's a good thing I'm nearly 50# lighter than I was.... I barely had enough room to work under there. Now I know why plumbers make $50 - $75 an hour, they EARN it....

Cavity filled with foam insulation ready for the new PVC fitting....

Sigh.... all together and nary a leak! I got a little carried away with the foam though. Gonna have to cut that back a bit when it finishes expanding. And this was the stuff that wasn't supposed to expand much. :saywhat:

Damn, that was a lot of work for this old :geezer:.
