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

Buddy had the gangsta snap on those glasses 😂

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

[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. 👍

I've said it before, but wow! What a wealth of knowledge and experience that the pro's on TOH possess! Not only are they incredibly gifted in their fields but they also have tremendous charm and personality!
Thank you to all of the pro's and to TOH!

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!

This chap has a soothing voice. Could teach me stuff all day long.

came here to learn about plumbing, left seeing the coolest glasses ever

[jerzsubbie]

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

[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 🙏😊🤪

[Colette_Leroux]

This is so easy! I want to add a dishwasher to my mom's old house that also doesn't have a garbage disposal! Thank you so much!

[JamesJones-iefm]

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.

[BradFisher]

 Why doesn't the sink drain have a water trap for sewer gas?

[holeshot]

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

[TheHoodGuru]

OK I watched 3 of these videos and this one is the clearest. This might be the one that helps me install a dishwasher finally. Moved into my place 10 years ago and quickly upgraded my cabinets and countertops and left gap for a dishwasher. Never filled it in.

[blackandwhite]

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

[leoc]

Good video. Would have been nice to see how to hollow out the cabinet though

[Pickle_hat]

Thanks a ton, after this video I installed my new dishwasher myself.

[plumbingstuffinoregon]

I noticed that there's no trap under the sink. Is there one under the floor or something like that?

[Zenjenn]

Silly question. Was that part of the counter sawed away to make it fit?
