sitting pretty darn tasty and now we're gonna go ahead and we're gonna stick the cover piece back on get this all tightened up and then we're gonna give it a test [Music] same thing with these screws you want to make sure that these screws are both getting tightened equally as soon as we tightened up pretty good so then we'll give it a test and we'll check it below okay so the tub is almost full and we're gonna go downstairs and we're going to check the go work flow and make sure there's no leak so you should have water running out that overflow right now and there's water coming through the overflow and there is no water leaking so now you can hear it coming down the overflow into the trap and we've got no water coming out the overflow so that's good mission accomplished
