Fixed Leaking Kitchen Sink Drain

Our kitchen sink drain has been leaking for years. It was just a drop here and there and yet I hesitated to fix it. Over the years, the zinc nut was getting rusted. This morning, I determine to fix it once and for all. I was having trouble unscrewing the plastic slip joint nut; therefore, I also had to replace it. It should have taken about 10 minutes, but took me half an hour. It was a small job, but it made me happy that I fixed something.

Parts:

• Everbilt 1-1/2 in. Sink Drain Pipe Zinc Slip-Joint Nut with Rubber Reducing Washer: $6
• Dearborn 1-1/2-in Plastic Slip joint nut & washer: $4.
