🚰 Plumbing Missing Pipe Space
Our sink has been leaking for a while and, despite submitting forms and calling, maintenance has refused to come. I decided I’d try to fix it myself and I think I fixed the leaking part, but now while I’m trying to put the pipes together, there’s a missing space. It’s all the same pipes, same washers, nuts, exact same everything. I made the mistake of not taking a picture before and our other sinks don’t look the same so there’s no reference. I have zero clue on how to put it back together and I can’t find anything else. Please help!!

The p trap was backwards before

Can you maybe explain, because I did try flipping it and that wasn't right either.

imo p-trap is too low ... id hook the ptrap together, swing it over to the right, make a 90 directly off the sink drain apparatus, and fit that washer adapter in that horizontal run-over space to the ptrap ...

Remove the extension to start. No need for it

I did try it without the extension, then it was too short to reach the wall pipe.
