***UPDATE
so this is where I am at...I removed the old facet myself but had to get a guy to come and loosen one bolt to do so...bought a new faucet got it home and realized the fitting didnt work wrong size took it back returned it tried to find another with the long hoses to replace it the same way...ended up rebuying the same one I just returned...a man in the aisle said he was a plumber helped me find some brass fitting adapters that would make it work.
In the middle of all of this my great nephew was in a horrible car accident two days before thanksgiving, the day before after he was determined brain dead and my nieces family had to make a decision...
in the following two days my others nieces husband came and helped me with the faucet which when I got it all together was leaking... it seemed he had got it fixed but over night it leaked more he came again and tighten it up more more teflon tape.
That was two days ago.
In the meantime my family is in shock loosing this young man 18 so unexpected and senseless. He was hit from behind at high speed.
after the second fix the pipes are now leaking in a different place.
The wake was last night and funeral today. I talked to my nieces husband that had helped he didn't seem real excited to come and help again...it is leaking I have pan under catching water. It has been a rough few days and right now I cannot even concentrate or deal with it...
Once I get a second wind i will attempt to do something not sure what and will update again....
thanks all Deb :h :? :(
