I normally would. I did sooo much stuff around the house.Change it yourself
Just stack some foam pads in front of the cabinet so you can lie down more comfortably and off you go. That tool I linked was a great invention.I normally would. I did sooo much stuff around the house.
I just might.
Those look good...and prices are comparable to Home Depot/Lowes.as a trades person, we pretty much don't do anything but reset a GFI or swap out a Breaker for less than 250 bucks labor. call it an hour job. you have an hour into transport also, time to make the invoice, time to do the book keeping, time you are not at a larger job, time stocking the truck and going to the supply house, 4 different kinds of insurance, licensing, continuing education hours, trade organization.....
If we pay a guy 30 an hour (which is low) he costs us around 90. plus the van, gas, car insurance, etc. Really you are paying about 125 an hour.
I have installed 3 or 4 kraus faucets, 2 sinks, a soap thing and a few other odds and ends and have been super happy with them.

Will buy that wrench too tomorrow thanks.I have the Ridgid version of that. Surprisingly, while it works for SOME connections, IMO, you also need a basin wrench.
If you’re installing a faucet similar to this one-hole faucet:
You’ll need one. The nut that holds the stem to the sink base is too big for the faucet tool.
If your faucet doesn’t come with some type of gasket between the faucet base and the sink top, be sure to silicone the faucet in place. Otherwise, water can get under it and into your cabinets…and, over time, the faucet can loosen, making things worse.
Gotta remember these, I’ve been churning thru kitchen sink faucets. Seems impossible to get a well made one unless you go into the ludicrous cost range and even then I am not certain.compared to the $200 dollar ones at depot these are way way higher quality, better finish and more metal parts. I don't think any part you touch on the ones i have installed in plastic. the bases and rings have all been metal as well.

That's going in my collection of 'famous last words.'Faucets are easy as long as the old fixtures and valves aren't sintered up. Since the old valves are always sintered up, faucets suck, but are still easy.
