Jeff, how easy is it to replace a garbage disposal unit? My current one is leaking pretty badly and I'm sure it's the original one used when my condo was 1st built back in the 80s. Someone said you're like the resident HGTV expert 'round the Mid-A.

^ LOL, i didn't take pics. However, I can tell you what happened:
I was sitting in slim's passenger seat when suddenly i notice the car next to us is revving his engine. "VrrrrrrRrrmmm *PSSSHHT* VrRrrRRRRMM *PSSHTT*"
I turn over to slim, "This guy has GOTA ta be kidding me... a Volvo?!?"
The dude rolls down his window, "What you got under there?"
I roll down the window and so was about to say, "More than you can afford, pal... NISSAN."
The ricer then says, "You got a supercharger in there?"
Slim turns over and says, "3.5 liter V6, with intake and exhaust." For those that don't know, slim is rocking at JWT Twin Turbo kit pushing close to 400WHP.
I knew exactly what he was doing. Lie about your mods then burn this ricer right off the line and pull 20+ cars on him.
In a Vin Diesel tone of voice, I tell slim to, "Toast Em..."
We both anxiously wait for the light. The ricer on our right is revvnig his enging and blowing off his almighty Volvo Station Wagon. We were sitting still, not wanting to rev because then he'd hear the blow off valve.
The light turns green. Slim is peeling out in first, the ricer jumps a 1/2 car infront of us. Slim peels 2nd, he jumps a full car length ahead. Slim attempts to go into third, and the ricer has switched lanes and pull infront of us.
I turn over to Slim, "You did NOT just get roasted by daddy's Volvo Station Wagon." For picture references, it looked exactly like this:
"It's getting cold, no traction."
"Dude, you gotta go redeem yourself RIGHT NOW!"
We follow him to the next stop light, the pulls into the right turning lane and stops there waiting for us to get next to him. Light turns green, they both punch it and the station wagon was hanging on right next to us. Slim once again peels first, peels second, and partially peels third until he finally gets traction and launches ahead. The ricer's lane was ending, therefore he jumped behind us. Moments later slim goes, "What him do a ricer flyby on us." Low and behold, the guy comes flying (in the oncoming traffic lane) right by us at over 100mph and takes the lead.
The moral of the story: it doesn't matter how much WHP you have, it's all about putting it to the ground!

its not hard at all clay... I have done one before but im sure its different for every make/model
Clay can't you just flex your chest and make it done? Magic y0
there's a hot, and ground wire. and then the drain. The only thing that might be hard is if the new one doesn't line up to the old drain spot, then you'd have to get piping and cut it/glue it.
over all its really easy.
P.S try to call the company that made yours, see if they sell a rebuild kit, or how much it would cost to get the same model.
Then it should be a direct plug and play.

if you need help let me know I have drill next weekend and can stop by after
As long as the switch is off, you wont have any power going to the wires. No power = can't do jack **** to yourself. However, even with the switch off, I always like to take a long screw driver and lay it across both wires just to see if anything happens. If its live, it will flip the breaker, just look away as you hit it just in case some sparks fly.
If you're reallllly worried about it, you can turn the breaker off. Just make sure you got the right one, I still out of habit touch both wires together before digging in.
If you need any help, let me know I don't think I'm that far from you, just buy me a bowl of pho.

Right and this is coming from the guy that spells like a ****ing retard.
Whatever you do, make sure there is no power going to the wires. Getting electrocuted is not fun at all.

The disposal unit is turns on/off by a switch, as long as the thing isn't running when he goes to touch the wires it wont be hot. If it's running then he should think twice about life if he trys to unbolt a running unit.........
