That’s exactly why I’m super careful about what goes into the disposal. I’ve read too many horror stories about rice and pasta swelling up in the pipe...

I get where you’re coming from. I’ve actually lived with an off-center sink for years, and after a while, it just fades into the background. I did try...

That’s true—some of those older copper runs are surprisingly resilient if they haven’t been abused by bad water or pressure spikes. I do think it’s sm...
