My friend Janice wants a new faucet.



So during last week we were at Home Depot and she bought this on. Thinking piece of cake. All I need to do is pull the old one out and put in the new one?????




Okay first of all,getting the old one out was not a piece of cake. It was a little different than the ones I have taken out before. But as I kept looking I got it out. 

 Now putting the new one in. I got it all installed and looking good. But the hoses would not work. I need a male 3/8" compression thread. Then on the other end a female 3/8" compression end. Went to the small hardware down the road. Didn't have the correct hoses. Now thinking I don't remember ever seeing those kind of hoses So Janice asked if instead of Home Depot try ACE Hardware? Okay the guy there talked me into buying a 1/2" to 1/4" compression fitting. I was thinking I am not sure about this one? So got back to her place and tried it out. Even put Teflon tape. I put it together and it leaked badly. 
Drove over to Home Depot and talked with a employ there and found the correct fitting. 1/2 " pipe thread and 1/4 " compression. 





Okay now we are in business. NO LEAKS AT ALL. Praise HIM. 


It even looks pretty good. All that matters is Janice like it and it works.
