Hello friends and fellow bloggers,
I hope your week is going well.
The other day when I was out doing errands I purchased new faucets for both bathrooms.
I couldn't wait to install them. I've never installed faucets before but I've heard it's a simple job.
Have you ever changed a faucet? Was it a simple job?
When I started the installation I found it very difficult to loosen the big nuts. I could also see that the small bolts holding the faucets underneath the sink are completely rusted so that might make them difficult to remove (as in the experience with changing the toilet lid cover in the main bathroom recently).
This simple job is going to take more time than it should. Normally my brother would help out, but he's very tall and it's a very cramped space in which to work. There's no way he will have room to splay out in the tiny bathroom or be able to fit underneath the sink. My husband might fit, but he's not home until quite late. I hope I can manage it myself. Wish me luck or say a prayer.

dear joyful i found your post very interesting
we hardly ponder how some jobs are associated to men unknowingly .
no i haven't fixed the taps though i have observed hubby sometimes while he did so. it takes time despite looks small and easy piece of work actually
i think i agree that in congested place it is impossible for big man like your brother to get in and try it .
but one thing i am positive that you can do it even though as first timer it can be puzzling for you at first but once you are relaxed and focused you will be able to do it easily :)
wishing you all the goodness in this world my dear friend !
You are a braver soul than I. I would have called Rick. Or a plumber or handyman!
Changing faucets is a challenge for all the reasons you mention. You did buy a good faucet. I have the same thing. You're in a small space and it's difficult to get the strength you need.
I think you will do a great job. It isn't that difficult, just in an uncomfortable space but, you can do this!!
If my little grand daughter can do it.. you can too! You go girl!!
