Sometimes you have to completely remove a sink to put it back together right

We're here to eliminate the bow on the side of this kitchen sink. The bow creates a gap, leaving room for standing water and bacteria under the lip. We have to remove the sink so that we can get at the cabinet itself. When we have the sink out, we'll also be replacing the faucet. Then we'll put the sink back in, properly secure it, caulk it, and connect the water and waste lines, and we'll be done.

Well this about sums up my experience with DIY plumbing. Thanks for showing how its not always easy and not always clean. I need more videos about "how to replace all the crumby parts of your house that weren't contractor grade when they were installed 60 years ago, and how to cope when everything adjacent breaks when you are in the middle of the repair."
