Off to a Calgary first thing to Home Depot to get a new faucet for kitchen sink that was leaking bad. Got everything I needed and spent 2 hours getting old one out of sink as everything is corroded. Had to cut some stuff to get it out. Pull new one out of box and see smaller ends on hoses. Old one fubared and new one can’t hook up. Plus peacock on line leaking so had to shut main water off so can’t use any taps or flush toilets. Phoned plumber and he’s headed over. FML on home handyman projects. 😡

Plumber was here and gone in 15 minutes. Cut two hoses put adapter fittings with shutoffs on them and clamped them. Even finished the install. Gone in 10
Minutes with hour and a half drive home. He told me if I wanted he could take his time so I felt better. Haha. I get what I deserve.

Kids left because toilets are in limbo and no water till fixed. Lol
In the last house I built Ken, I put in a manifold system and had a separate line going to each facet or appliance. (Like a sink had a hot and cold line going to it with it's own shut off valve, a toilet had one line with it's own shut off valve and so on.) Was a great system. Don't see too many of those around.
