Next is to disconnect the supply lines and make sure those is flowing.

Supply lines are clear and flowing strong, WHEW!!
Gonna call a couple of close hardware stores and see if they have a faucet.
Same place I got this one, oh, 5-6-7 years ago(CRS).
At least this removal will by MUCH easier than the ancient thing I wrestled with last time where everything was so corroded I had to use a dremel tool to cut part of it loose.

I am curious to know what you find is causing the faucet to not work! It should last a LOT LOT LOT longer than 5-7 years.

Blistering hot here again today. I need to see my rheumatologist later today, they should have my lab report.
Then i go to ceramics class. The people that go there are such fun peeps to spend time with.

No clue.
Got the new one in, supply connections seem good, but it's gushing water when I open the operating valve above....Hmmmmm, maybe because I didn't hook up the sprayer yet?
SH!T.
The small connection lines rotate on the faucet body, but seem tight.
Guess I'll hook it back up with the sprayer attached and hope for the best.
I'm getting awfully sore and cramped from crawling under there.
...and it's hot as hell, my glasses keep steaming up making it even harder to see.

No clue @bruceha2000 , but water was working up to the faucet so made sense and was the problem.
Could have been longer than 5-7, I really don't remember....and it wasn't a Moen, so<shrugs>
Not sure if I'll take apart the old one to solve the mystery or not.
Got the new one at same place, closest store, and it's the same brand/design. I'll record the date and save the directions this time.

Hmmmmm, maybe because I didn't hook up the sprayer yet?

Yup, that was it. Good thing I had to start over because (after finally reading the directions ) the old sprayer wouldn't have fit and you're supposed to attach the sprayer before bolting down the assembly. I had a heck of a time getting all the supply fittings lined up and then tight, I had to keep taking breaks because of muscle cramps and wetted(both from fitting leaks and actual tears) despair, my body is on the verge of serious pain....won't forget the ibuprofen tonight with dinner. Finally succumbed to my nap and a few wrench turns later it was done, no drips so far.

I hate THIS too!!

Blistering hot here again today.

We have a heat advisory for tomorrow but it's still very warm today and the HUMIDITY! OMG!! I walked outside to cut a piece of flooring on the tile saw (don't judge me) and my glasses fogged up.

Temperature is in the 90s.

after finally reading the directions

Oops. BTDT.

I have about 1/4 of the floor done in the spare room. I have run out of painter's caulk so I need to make a trip to Lowe's but I'll just keep puttering with the floor for the rest of the day then make a trip out in the morning after I run the dogs. Who didn't get run today because of frequent downpours and afore mentioned gawd awful humidity. I've been getting looks all day.

Went out to clean the coop and kick Kylie off the nest to count eggs. Friggin' chickens had another fight in there and 2 eggs were busted. One missing the other a goopy mess stuck to Kylie's chest and the other eggs. I scooped the egg and contaminated nesting material and tossed all into the woods then gently wiped the remaining eggs. Kylie took off to take care of her business, which I hope included cleaning herself up. I'll have to go out and check her chest.

Good morning Cafe. Coffee is ready.

I'm off to a decent start this morning. After tending to the animals when I got up, I finished floating the floor in the spare room, installed two walls worth of baseboard and wood filled the nail holes. Now I'm out running the dogs before the oppressive heat of the day begins. I also have a load of wash ready to go out on the line. If it's going to be that hot, take advantage of it!
