Finally tackled my plumbing project without flooding the house
So I finally got brave enough to replace the old faucet in my kitchen sink. Watched a bunch of YouTube vids, read up on safety tips, and went for it. Um, surprisingly, it went pretty smoothly - no leaks, no injuries, and I didn't even swear that much. Feeling pretty proud right now, haha. Curious if anyone else has had a DIY plumbing win lately or am I just lucky this time?

Nice work, especially for a first attempt! I’d only qualify the “no leaks” part a little: a connection can look dry initially and still develop a slow drip after the pipes settle or the seal gets wet. It’s worth checking underneath again after a day or two, and maybe placing a dry paper towel around the connections so even a tiny leak is obvious. If it stays dry, you can feel confident calling it a win.
