Was this an exterior sink with a disposal?
Don't like the romex through the DWV line myself. Dont like the hole in the wall either.
Was the trap dry?

First of all, when BX cable is used in a wet area it must be wrapped with duct tape for protection.

The trap obviously is for the electrons to take a bath--we all should have clean electricity, ya' know. I think there should be a tiny little ladder in the opening of the trap for the electrons to climb in and out of the bath.

And a can of beer should not be hidden in there--any plumber could find it easily--and you know what plumbers might do with a can of beer.

Young man, I know exactly what Plumbers would do with that beer can.

I have also been in attics where people would leave nail boxes with surprises while working in them, if you follow. ha. ha.

Wasn't funny at the time while I was searching what kind of nails was in the box.

Jae check out the Companies web site. You will see me in there some where.
