   *Well, yes - But I wasn't kidding about how difficult it would be to relocate the drain. After the trap, the drain goes right through the outside wall (through the stucco and everything). All of the drain lines, vents, etc. are located outside the house on an exterior wall. No - it's not very attractive, thanks for asking. I can thank my former handyman owner for this plumbing plan. He of the "nothing that a nail, hammer, and a random piece of scrapwood can't fix" school of maintenance. So - relocating the drain means relocating the hole in the stucco - which I am trying desperately to avoid.

   *FYI - Thanks for responding and you may not have noticed how elegantly your response fit in to your signature line. I got a kick out of "lower the drain point to where it is called for . . . near the stream."

   *Chris...If you just cut away at the stucco or whatever that is below the pipe for a 1/4" of clearance, then I would think you might be able to lower the whole vertical drain pipe enough to satisify your needs (without cutting the pipe, maybe?)...Or you could raise the counter on a 1/4" shim...Or you could tilt your house...or you could leave the water running...or...near the blind corner in the stream paddling like hell,aj (One of those jobs that a cam could solve quick)

   So, I bought a garbage disposal to put in my kitchen sink. It turns out to be a little too "tall." The centerline of the disposer discharge will be right at, or maybe a quarter inch below the centerline of the wastepipe entering the wall. The instructions say that this is a no-no because there will be standing water in the disposal. But, because the dimensions are SO close, and relocating the wastepipe is SO hard, I'm tempted to go for it. Is a teeny bit of water in the disposal going to be a big deal? Is it going to stink me out of the house with the dreaded swamp gas?
