The Rubber Gaskets Go Under The Sink and Tub - Video

When it comes to plumbing, there are easy ways to do things wrong while still making it work somehow. While working on an empty apartment, I noticed both basket strainers on the sink and the tub drain pop up had their rubber gaskets on the top side, which is incorrect. The rubber gasket on top creates a lip that prevents the water from going into the drain, so you always end up having some standing water around the drain. Since the pop up on the tub was broken, I figured I would just fix all three so they are set up right. Here's what I recorded during the process. All 3 of these went pretty smooth, but I am pretty sure I have a sprained wrist, so it was kind of rough to get done. Either way, it's fixed.
