In Germany we grow up with Ikea and learn the how-to installation (and how to deal with subsequent frustration) at a very early age. ;-)SonjaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389245948579828531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776318709416054670.post-37609658315108796702017-06-16T11:29:12.275-04:002017-06-16T11:29:12.275-04:00Why would the stub out for the drain be made of co...Why would the stub out for the drain be made of copper?<br /><br />Nice videoRichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.com
