Ditto. The drain hose coming out of the dishwasher needs to go high (up to the countertop underside) and then slant down towards its connection to the hard plumbing. Just have it go high, and you'll have your high loop. Up to the counter and then down to its connection. (a Tee or a Wye in the hard plumbing.) Secondly, you can shorten the hose if after going high there is way too much left over. When the DW pump turns off, at the end of all the draining, remaining water can fall out (by gravity) from a large part of the hose. But this is not crucial for the high loop to be a high loop, or for the DW to work. It is a little bit of optimization. There is no advantage for extra hose to lay on the cabinet floor. Just because the DW came with a long hose doesn't mean it has to stay at that length. In case anyone reading this has a DW ten feet away from the plumbing drain, I'll add that the high part is right_near_the_DW, close to the DW and not close to the hard plumbing. Most DW are next to the sink, so this is not a concern for them. When your DW is across the aisle and your drain hose has to go around two corners, behind the cabinets, it runs ten feet. Then the hose has to go high right at the DW. Now, connecting to the plumbing: This could be before the disposer. It usually is. When one has no disposer, the connection is right before the sink P trap, i.e. usually right under the sink strainer. There is no logical link between GD and DW; they are independent and their drains don't need to be together. Cheri, HTH, and I wonder what you meant by ".... the standing drain that the GD and sink are connected to...." -david

You can certainly plumb it "as is", but with consoles or pedestals, non-centered plumbing will stick out like a sore thumb due to it being exposed. With the drywall not yet taped and with what only looks like a couple of screws holding each sheet to the framing, removing the drywall and replumbing is an option. But it's a "pain versus gain" thing. How much $$ is it worth to you versus any aggravation that the off-centered plumbing might cause you in the future? Were it my house I'd center the plumbing. I'd not be able to tolerate something that out of whack that would be exposed. But that's just me, and I can do all the work myself. If a vanity was going in there, an argument could be made to leave it as is, as it'd be hidden within the confines of the cabinet. So it's really a personal choice. Your choice of a console is driving you to a $$ repair versus an unattractive aesthetic.

Is it just the disposal thats messing you up or are both sides too low (that is if this is a double compartment sink). And are both compartments the same depth?

Sounds messed up, tell em to fix it. They wont be thrilled but they need to take off the vanity, open up the drywall and replumb it and move it over so it doesn't interfere with the drawers. All it really takes is access to it, a couple elbows and a hole in the stud. They tried the hack job route, and they might have got away with it if it weren't for the drawers having problems.
