Sink Fix Re-do

So remember this photo?  I had fixed my sink based on a Youtube video...well it was fixed for a bit and then it started to leak again...and then drip from the tap!  I took everything apart and then put it back together again.  It worked for a bit but then the handle was super loose?!

So back to Youtube I went and found another video.   Actually it was a two part posting.  The first part explained what I had already done, then the second one showed me how to take the entire tap and spout off and install two rings (washers?)

To get the rings I went back to Home Depot and again the parts were part of a Moen warranty and therefore free.  The gentleman at Home Depot did start to speak to me as if I was...(I will be nice), a child but after I explained how I had already changed the cartridge I got some respect:) 

At the same time the bathroom sink was dripping, if it was shut off in the cold position.  AHHHHH when it rains it pours!  But it was basically the same deal, free parts and easy removal of tap and cartridge...and done by watching another Youtube video for bathroom faucets.

This time Breton was my assistant because I think it is important that he see how things are done.

As of today, two weeks later, no drips or leaks!  HOORAY!

Another proud moment last weekend

So my kitchen tap had been leaking H2O from its base for a couple of weeks on and off.  By last weekend it was really leaking...so I had to do something.

Thank goodness for Youtube.  I typed in "how to fix a Moen kitchen sink faucet that is leaking"  Learned that I most likely had to change the cartridge.

Off to The Depot (Home Depot), got some help and then ended up going to the cash and the part was FREE!  It was under warranty:)

Downloaded the video and followed it step by step and abracadabra I fixed it!
