God Helped Me Replace A Bathroom Sink Faucet!

[seoxeee]

I didn't think I would need divine intervention to replace a bathroom شیرآلات لوکس  faucet. Instructions found on the internet suggested that even someone with less than average intelligence could do the job in 30 minutes. With my plumbing expertise I did the job in five hours; with some help from God.

Reading the instructions and the first item on the list, I was advised to cut the water off at the shut-off valves under the sink. Tackling the cold water valve first, I tried as hard as I could to twist it with my hand. That didn't work, so I used my channel lock pliers on the handle.

Squeezing the pliers hard, I put a lot of muscle into the twisting of the handle on the cold water valve and crushed it into mangled mess that fell to the floor of the cabinet. Water spurted out of the stem, drenching me in a cold shower!

Dashing outside to the meter, I quickly shut off the water to the house. Back in the bathroom and the mangled shut-off valve, I tried the hot water and there were no leaks. I would only have to buy one and I could get the project underway again.

The super indoor lumber yard and hardware store was five miles away. After finding the items I needed I drove back home and replaced the shut-off valve. Now I could finally take off the old sink faucet and exchange it for the new one.

Taking the old faucet off the lavatory wasn't really difficult and I had it off in 30 minutes. I also had skinned knuckles because the wrench I was using slipped off the brass fittings twice, causing me to accidentally rake my hands on the rough underside of the sink.

Now, only three hours after I began this task, it was time to replace the old bathroom sink faucet with the new one that was still in the plastic bag.

The next steps were easy. Tearing something apart is usually a lot easier than putting it back together again. This was the case with the new faucet. For some reason the 'P' Trap fell apart when I disconnected it from the drain pipe in the sink.
