I just took apart my kitchen sink plumbing and now I cannot get the pipes to fit back together correctly. I am at a loss. I should have taken a picture of the pipes before I took them apart, but didn't. It's a two sided metal sink with a garbage disposal and S trap. HELP?

One of these should match your sink. kitchen sink drain diagram - Google Image Search (http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=kitchen+sink+drain+diagram&um=1&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&resnum=1&ct=title)

SWJOCEY...
Are all pipes metal? If so, then may be a good idea to switch all this over to new PVC pipe at this time. That is, only if you can't get it all back together easily... ;)
I swear, sometimes it's easier to simply repipe using the PVC fittings, etc. then to mess with real old pipes/washers/connections. I would also have you install a mechanical vent and a p-trap at this time, but again, only if going route of new PVC.
Let us know what you think!

PS... a picture of all the parts would also be helpful here!

If you already have it all apart, I would defenately go with plastic tubular instead of fighting chrome. And if it indeed an s-trap(I hope not) then yes, definitely install a mech vent.
