Momma said hot water just trickles in her bathroom. Being a nice guy six months later I take a look and sure enough it barely trickles out. Easy fix right? Stuff in faucet body. Take apart it's clear. Remove feed Line. Aha bit of gravel, grit whatever, cleaned out and it worked. Line leak at fitting..
Went to Big Blue bought new line installed partially wrong connector on one end. Back to store exchanged for proper one. It was to short so cold water line was longer so switched Worked out fine. Whoa a leak on cold side. Took faucet off and found pin hole leak in copper feed line. Go buy new faucet. Finally got all installed and hooked up except drain. It is 1 1/4 inch size. Existing was 1 1/2 inch. Back to store for new fittings. Talked to plmber helper and he said four trips is usual for a plumbing job. It is now back together and functional. Started at 100 pm and finished at 815 pm.
Crawling under cabinets ain't for Sissy's that's for sure. Tomorrow I'm sure I will pay for my trangressions.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Did make bunch of brownie points from LOML.
