Don The Plumber

After years of thinking about it I decided to replace my faucets in the bathrooms. I had put it off because I HATE doing anything with plumbing no matter how small he job. I always run into something or don't have the right gizmo at the wrong time.

Well I started....removed the old faucet placed the new one in and went to install the cold/hot hoses....too short:mad: Dang it all! Had to go back to Lowes and get longer ones to finish the job. I did insure I had the right ones for upstairs before I went back..good thing because I exchanged for a better size on that one.

Things went smooth after that but I still do not like messing with that stuff. I'm always concerned I'm going to break something underneath the sink.:)

I guess I'll tackle the Kitchen in a few years....

I feel your pain brother. Generally nothing is easy when it comes to home repairs, but I stink at plumbing the worst. The wife uses me as cheap labor too. Last week she had me dig out four 30 year old Yew hedge bushes. Ever seen the root system on a 30 year old Yew? Felt like I just swam across the Rio Grande when that was over.

LOL the Rio Grande huh? We did some landscaping that day as well but nothing to that extent.:p

I feel ya Don, but mine is automobiles and lately I have been playing Tim The Mechanic way too often! I use the B F & I technique: Brute Force & Ignorance!

Well if it will make all of you feel better I have been Chuck the broken septic tank fixer on my little 50 year old rental...do you no how much pooo....well I'm not goin there again...now don't you all feel better...lol

Hose too short...

Hmmmph.

(C'mon man...You can't tee one up like that and not expect me to drive it down the middle of the fairway. LMAO)
