swt61 Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Put the supply lines on the faucet first! Then install the faucet. So much easier that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironbut Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Atta Boy Ken! I knew if I can do it (I'm great at other home DIY but plumbing,.. nyet!),.. If you fit a faucet with one of those hard plastic seals (between the faucet and sink top), put some plumbers putty under the seal. It'll make the faucet feel solid when you use it (plus, it's cheap and easy to use). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzziguy Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Well, the new faucet is in. What a fricken pita that was. At least it works. I agree, plumbing is rarely fun, especially on one's back under the kitchen sink. I'm going to be very sore tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Nice tip, I may use that one myself. I hate the feel of a faucet that wants to slide around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzziguy Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 I used silicone rather than plumber's putty. I also put a bead in between the faucet and plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 I like the plummer's putty idea better. Much easier once it's time to remove the faucet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skullguise Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Yesterday we went up to NH to visit some friends who bought and are working on a small place by a lake. The weather was stunningly nice, and this was the scene off their balcony (sorry, so-so iphone pic)....a real nice relaxing day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrice Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Jeez sorry for all that Jacob. I hope you're feeling better soon I just got back from Tai Chi class. Now I'm sitting outside sipping coffee waiting for the 8:00PM showing of Skyfall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swt61 Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 At least you're in Florida Vicki. I broke my ankle in the middle of winter in Anchorage, and it happened to be a banner year for snowfall. You'll be all healed up before you know it.

cutestory Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Toured a potential preschool with my wife this morning. Cobi Jones was also there with his wife, assumedly also trying to get a sense of the place he might try to send his progeny. A year away and we're already having to sort this business out. What has the world come to, where you're checking out preschools like colleges? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
